Helping our members to improve the lives of residents and patients is our number one priority. This includes providing quality care as well as protecting and nourishing each resident. By providing a skilled nursing or assisted living center that focuses on safety, efficiency, fire prevention, and adhering to national and state health codes, our members are treating the whole person, not just their medical needs.
A fire can be an unpredictable and frightening event. But a fire that occurs in a long-term care setting can completely devastate your residents, your facility, and your entire community. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) mandates that all long-term care facilities have a considerable number of safety systems in place, such as fire alarms, sprinkler systems, fire doors, and evacuation plans, in order to keep everyone safe should a fire occur.
