As summer heats up, we at The PrairieStone 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.
I regularly inspect and service air conditioning units in our community. This ensures they function efficiently and prevents breakdowns during the hottest days. A valuable summer safety tip for all Arrow communities is to schedule outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day. This includes early morning or late evening. Avoid strenuous activities during peak heat hours. Promoting summer safety can help drive and support occupancy by organizing and highlighting special summer events or programs emphasizing safety and enjoyment, drawing attention, and attracting new residents.
By following these tips, we ensure The PrairieStone Senior Living remains safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all residents and staff throughout the summer months. Our community’s dedication to maintaining a secure environment is essential to everyone’s well-being, and we all play a part in it.
