Town & Country Summer Safety Tips

Category: Technology and Safety

Author: Roger Patterson, Plant Operations Director

As summer heats up, we at The Town & Country 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.

Team’s Maintenance and Safety Measures

  • Provide shaded seating in outdoor areas
  • Inspect and repair walkways to prevent trips
  • Increase pest control to keep areas free from insects
  • Check ventilation in common areas and kitchens
  • Inspect electrical systems to prevent overloads
  • Clean roofs and gutters to avoid leaks and water damage

We educate residents on staying hydrated and avoiding peak heat hours by distributing flyers and organizing meetings. Additionally, we promote indoor activities during extreme heat to keep residents engaged and safe.

In our community, we ensure V-Tack systems work properly by regularly pulling and cleaning them. Educating residents and staff on limiting their time outside in the summer heat and drinking plenty of water would benefit all Arrow communities. Promoting summer safety helps support occupancy in our community by offering a variety of activities that include healthy hydration.

By adhering to these safety measures, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring The Town & Country Senior Living remains a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable place for all residents and staff throughout the summer months. Our dedication to maintaining a secure environment is paramount to everyone’s well-being.
