Resident and staff safety is top priority
The community is designed with many security features that support resident well-being.
- We manage two secure neighborhoods
- An emergency call and response system
- All common areas have CCTV cameras
- A 400KW emergency generator, allowing continuous power in the event of an outage
Infection control
practices
Understanding the need to focus on infection control, our ventilation system is a 100% outside air system. This is different than a recirculating air system that exists in many other buildings. Having 100% outside air intake means all the exhaust air leaves the building and is replaced with new outside air. None of the exhaust air is recirculated.
Additional safety features:
- Touchless features in common area restrooms
- The use of non-porous material for countertops
- Decorative planters that feature touchless hand sanitizing for staff and visitors
- Ceiling high operable window sashes at both ends of the building in the living and dining areas for natural cross ventilation air circulation
- Carpeting is used sparingly throughout the building as an environmental infection-control strategy to reduce the risk of harmful microbial organisms in carpet fibers
Safety in resident
living areas
Resident suites feature oversized easy-to-use, high-efficiency European-style windows with a turn-only option and a 4-inch safety limiter. These windows allow for plenty of natural light in each resident suite. Bathrooms are thoughtfully designed with resident safety in mind, including “curbless” showers and a trench drain to create a barrier-free entrance to the shower. This makes it accessible for those with disabilities using wheelchairs, and for all other users as well.
Additional bathroom safety features:
- Grab bars and a pull-down cushion seat for safety and comfort
- Bathroom mirrors fixed above the sink have an adjustable tilt feature to suit resident’s height and preference
- Sink countertops and bowl feature contrasting colors for easy recognition
- Resident toilets are all comfort height of 18” with elongated seats and a HEWI duo hinged grab bar with toilet tissue holder
- Color contrasted toilet seat and amber light over the toilet help residents, who may awake disorientated, to find the toilet more easily
- Barn doors on each apartment bathroom provide a wider than normal entry for residents
