Q My mother just moved into a lovely condominium. It is not designated as an “over 55 community,” however many older adults live there.
Lately, my mother has been telling me about some instances when she hears the doorbell ring very late at night or very early in the morning.
She is careful not to get up, is vigilant about making sure the door is locked, and has a home security system sign posted by the front door. There is no evidence that someone is trying to break in or that anything is disturbed.
She has not notified anyone and insists she is fine. I don’t want to doubt her, but is this a cry for attention? I find it difficult to believe that anyone would just ring someone’s doorbell and take off.
