Before you drop your loved one off at an assisted living facility, you want to make sure that they are going to be safe and secure. One of the reasons that you considered assisted living in the first place is because you were worried about how safe your loved one could be in their own home all alone, and you want to choose a community that will put their safety and security first. If your loved one is struggling to stay safe when they are at home, you will be happy to know that one of the most important services offered at these communities is 24/7 onsite staffing that will be able to keep everyone safe. 

The goal of the staff is to handle some of the emergencies and urgent needs that may come up for your loved one, whether those occur during the day or during the night. These facilities will use modern security systems to make sure that no one is hurt and that they are quickly found if they happen to wander off. In addition, they will also provide a number of different accessibility and safety features including:

# Exits that are clearly marked so that anyone can read them and ones that have alarms on them if someone tries to go through them. 

# Wheelchair ramps that will make it easier for anyone to access the building who lives there. 

# Grab bars and handrails to make it easier to move around or even to get up from different positions. 

# Wider doorways to make it easier to move a wheelchair, walker, or something else in and out of each room of the facility. 

# Stair lifts to assist with going up and down the stairs

# Elevators for those who have a risk of tripping and falling when going on the stairs

# Emergency call systems so the resident can get some of the assistance they need, even if it’s an emergency. 

# Zero-threshold showers so that there is less risk of a trip or fall.
