As summer heats up, we at Vitalia Rockside 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 arrange the community areas, grounds, and courtyards so residents can enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. We ensure all benches and chairs are clean and have cushions. We also provide extra seating around activity courts, such as shuffleboard and bocce areas.
A valuable summer safety tip for all Arrow communities is coordinating pest control efforts and promptly addressing wildlife issues. Pests and insects often nest around the community grounds and under balconies, so regular maintenance is essential.
Promoting summer safety can help drive and support occupancy in our community by hosting outdoor cookouts and events, such as wine tastings or themed BBQs. Additionally, well-manicured community grounds are a source of pride and appeal to current and prospective residents.
Following these tips ensures Vitalia Rockside 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.
