Fire Safety: Resident and Family Guide
We practice fire safety every day. Here’s how alarms, sprinklers, and evacuations work, and how families can help.
What to expect during an alarm
- Staff will direct residents to the nearest safe area of refuge or exit.
- Elevators are disabled; we use evacuation chairs when needed.
- Families on site should follow staff instructions and stay calm.
Checklist
- Keep walking paths clear.
- Do not block doors with furniture.
- Report any tripping hazards.
