Saving Grandma Ruthie From Bumps in the Night

Grandma Ruthie is 94 years old and lives in an assisted living facility. After surviving three husband, she has decided that she will only date now. Her boyfriend, Harold, lives in the same building. Grandma Ruthie is obviously doing something right because there are nine single women for every single man where they live.

As a huge sports fan (Grandma Ruthie loves her Cleveland teams: Indians, Cavaliers, Browns), a typical date night for Grandma Ruthie and Harold is watching a game together. When the game ends, Harold leaves to go back to his apartment (or so they say). After 11:00 p.m., the lights are turned down in the hallways of the facility. Harold is using a Step Light to help him walk to the elevator safely--the low glow feature on the light tells him where the Step Light is and when he is about 15' away, the light brightens, providing him safe passage down the hall. This simple measure gives Harold the confidence and independence he needs to get home on his own.
