Hudson Grande Summer Safety Tips

Category: Technology and Safety

Author: Ray Scarnecchia, Plant Operations Director

As summer heats up, we at Hudson Grande 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.

At Hudson Grande, we believe in being proactive. 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 holding meetings. We also promote indoor events during extreme heat to keep residents engaged and safe.

In our community, I ensure all air conditioning units are clean and operational for the hot summer weather. A valuable summer safety tip for all Arrow communities is to check on residents when they are outside in the heat. Promoting summer safety can help drive and support occupancy by being a supportive presence for residents and their families during hot weather.

By following these tips, we ensure Hudson Grande Senior Living remains safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all residents and staff throughout the summer months. Our unwavering dedication to maintaining a secure environment is essential to everyone’s well-being.
