The Full Series

The Stay Safe Series

STAY SAFE FOR A LIFETIME OF INDEPENDENCE

Eight books, one threat each, written by a fellow senior who'd rather explain things at the kitchen table than in jargon. Every book stands on its own, so start wherever your worry is right now, and every other book is already being written to meet you at the next one.

✓

Every fact, checked and attributed. Every fact and statistic across the Stay Safe Series is checked against a credible, named source, government health and safety agencies, peer-reviewed research, and recognised ageing organisations, and re-verified annually. Each book's own Fact References chapter lists the full citation for every figure, so you can check the evidence yourself.

Not sure where to start?

If nothing's wrong yet, start with Book 2, home accidents are the most common risk for independent seniors. If you're worried about a medical emergency, whether that's a fall, a diabetic episode, or the early warning signs of a stroke, start with Book 1: several of the devices it covers can flag a dangerous glucose swing or an irregular heart rhythm before it becomes an emergency, not just call for help after one. Every other book is on its way, in weeks, not years.
