Identity and credit theft is a major issue for many seniors and elders. LifeLock® keeps your identity and credit information safe.

LifeLock protects you by doing the little things:

• getting you off those junk mail lists
• stopping pre-approved credit card offers

AND by doing the big things:

• constantly monitoring and updating your credit information
• running your credit reports

And most importantly, they even offer a $1 Million Service Guarantee so you do not need to worry about anyone using your credit or name to secure loans or make fraudulent charges on your accounts.

And should anything happen to your credit, due to a theft or loss of your purse or wallet, then LifeLock will:

• Identify your missing documents
• Contact each credit, bank or document issuing company while you're on the phone with them
• Cancel lost cards, licenses and documents
• Fill out the paperwork and request replacements
• Initiate the fraud affidavit and police reports if the loss was a result of a wallet being stolen
• Arrange additional follow-up and resolution calls depending on the severity of the situation

According to the 2007 Javelin Identity Fraud Survey, 8.4 million adult Americans were the victims of identity fraud in that year alone. Those most at risk are people who don't stay vigilant about securing their identity. Seniors in senior care facilities or who have live-in help are in a high-risk category for identity theft. LifeLock can give you peace of mind so you know that you and your loved ones will not be the victims of identity theft.

Anyone, who provides care for aging loved ones, knows that keeping their credit and name safe can become increasingly difficult over time no matter if they live at home or in a care facility. So where do these credit or identity theft risks exist?

• Risks in the Home. Elders who live at home often have many different people coming into their residence, such as caregivers or delivery people.
• Risks Outside the Home. A person sometimes doesn't even need to enter the home to obtain the needed information that can result in identity theft. Is your loved one's mailbox accessible to the public? If so, their pre-approved credit offers could easily be taken and used by another person.
• Risks in Senior Care Facilities. In senior care facilities multiple people have access to residents' rooms and common rooms, which can make you or your loved ones targets for identity theft.

Don't let someone take advantage of your loved one, causing them financial strain and stress. LifeLock can give you peace of mind so you know that you and your loved ones identity and credit information is safe and secured.
