🚨 Prioritizing Safety: Fire Prevention & Preparedness 🚨

We're proud to share a vital article from iAdvance Senior Care on fire safety strategies following the Gabriel House tragedy. The piece shines a spotlight on how senior living communities can better protect residents in emergencies—and features insights from our very own Ardra Reed, MPH, Quality Assurance Manager at AHEPA Senior Living.

Ardra emphasizes the heightened risks faced by senior communities, including mobility and cognitive challenges that can impede evacuation. She urges:

• Regular risk assessments
• Strict oversight of electrical equipment
• Robust staff training and scenario-based drills
• Partnering closely with local emergency responders

This isn’t just about meeting codes—it’s about safeguarding lives. Let’s continue to build communities where preparedness, compassion, and safety go hand in hand.

Thank you to iAdvance Senior Care for highlighting and including us in this important conversation on fire safety in senior living communities.

🐾 Pets = Brain Boost? Science Says Yes! 🧠💡

According to a July Forbes article, owning a dog or cat may help slow cognitive decline in older adults!

Researchers found that our furry companions do more than keep us company—they may actually help keep our minds sharp as we age. 🐶🐱

“If you are over 50, consider bringing a cat or dog into your life in the same way that you look at other ways to prolong your health span, like diet and exercise,” Feldman said.

So the next time your pet curls up beside you or begs for a walk, just remember—they might be boosting your brainpower! 🧠❤️
