MorningStar at Arcadia is Designed with Seniors’ Safety in Mind
Peace of mind. That is what you get when a loved one calls our senior living facility home.
When you search for an assisted living facility in Phoenix, you consider several factors before making a well-informed decision. The quality of healthcare services represents one of the most important factors to consider, especially if your loved one suffers from memory loss. Other factors to consider include activities, amenities, and room comfort. Also at the top of your research list is the level of safety and security features.
Let’s discover why MorningStar at Arcadia is designed with seniors’ safety in mind.
Alert Systems
One of the greatest worries that keep you up at night is that your loved one might slip and fall. Our in-room alert system ensures our residents receive immediate assistance after an accident. The simple-to-activate alert system operates around the clock to protect our residents. As another type of alert system, the wander management system detects the presence of residents that have left the safe areas of our memory care facility in Phoenix. Residents wear a bracelet that sounds an alarm every time they leave a safe area and enter an area of our facility where they should not be located.
Access Control
One of the most effective strategies to protect our residents involves controlling access to our facility at every entry point. From the front entrance to the loading dock, MorningStar at Arcadia controls access at every entry point to our facility. The front entrance includes a registration area for guests, as well as an intercom that allows visitors to interact with one of our resident services specialists. Every door has a contact that immediately connects with a nurse call system to notify a nurse every time a door opens and closes after visiting hours. We also conduct frequent inspections after hours to ensure every visitor has left the building.
Resident Monitoring
One of the breakthroughs for securing an assisted living facility involves incorporating resident monitoring technology into a safety and security system. Since caregivers cannot be in every room around the clock, a resident monitoring system becomes the eyes and ears of the caregiver staff. An in-room resident monitoring system makes it much easier to manage medical care services, especially for residents that require memory care assistance. Tools such as motion sensors, wireless pendants, and watchdog systems represent some of the most recent technological developments for enhancing the safety and security of our residents.
Safety Cameras
Video security cameras are not just for surveillance. They also are used to protect the safety of the residents of our Phoenix assisted living facility. Our safety cameras ensure quality control when dispensing medications and managing other vital resources. Video cameras also act as a deterrent to criminals that want to steal property or try to make an unauthorized entrance into our memory care facility. Advanced surveillance technology allows us to program the system to record and notify staff members of trespassing. Safety cameras allow MorningStar to staff fewer security guards, which lowers the cost of staying at one of our senior living facilities.
Our mission statement “to honor, to value, to invest” in our residents resonates throughout the MorningStar assisted living facility in Phoenix, AZ. Connect with one of our resident services representatives today to learn more about the comprehensive program to protect the safety of our residents.
