As summer heats up, we at The Township Senior Living prioritize maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for our older adult residents. Rising temperatures present unique challenges, especially in our senior living community, where residents are more vulnerable to heat-related issues. Our maintenance team follows some essential safety measures to ensure a safe, smooth-running, and pleasant summer for everyone.
We inspect air conditioning units regularly to ensure they function correctly and replace air filters to maintain air quality. Thermostats are set at comfortable temperatures, and cooling is monitored in common areas and resident rooms.
We educate residents on staying hydrated and avoiding peak heat hours by distributing flyers and holding meetings. We also promote indoor activities during extreme heat to keep residents engaged and safe.
In our community, we establish a protocol with guidance from the Director of Wellness to determine when outdoor events can safely occur. If residents need to go outside for medical appointments, they should dress appropriately for extreme temperatures and bring hydration materials.
A summer safety tip for all Arrow communities is maintaining an air temperature range of 71°F to 81°F, ensuring a comfortable environment for residents’ well-being.
Promoting summer safety helps drive and support occupancy by keeping everyone safe, allowing them to thrive and enjoy long, healthy lives in our community.
Following these tips ensures The Township Senior Living remains safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all residents and staff throughout the summer months. Our dedication to maintaining a secure environment is essential to everyone’s well-being.
