Promoting Safety for Seniors Without Limiting Independence

Promoting Safety for Seniors

At Provision Living, we believe safety shouldn’t come at the cost of independence.

That’s why our communities are built on the idea of combining safety and security features with the independence and sense of freedom every resident deserves. And for families, knowing your loved one is surrounded by trained caregivers, and the support of a caring community provides that all-important peace of mind that your loved one is exactly where they’re meant to be.

At Provision’s assisted living communities, we’re committed to ensuring every one of our residents is happy and thriving. Here are just a few of the ways we ensure residents enjoy safety, privacy, and dignity, and their families enjoy peace of mind.

A secure environment

For most seniors, a sense of autonomy is deeply important to their quality of life. And some may feel that, by moving to assisted living after years of living at home on their own, they are giving up that autonomy. However, residents here often find that knowing they are part of a safe, protected community helps them enjoy their days more freely. Provision’s assisted living communities are secured with multiple resident safety features including:

  • Controlled entry that ensures only authorized visitors and team members have access to the community
  • Courtyards so residents have secure outdoor spaces where they can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air safely
  • Fire safety systems and emergency preparedness plans that are regularly reviewed and practiced by our team

Thoughtfully designed communities

Since safety features are intentionally built into every facet of our assisted living communities, residents can move safely and confidently through their day without having to worry about fall hazards or other physical risks. These include:

  • Grab bars and walk-in showers in apartments to make bathrooms safer and easier to use
  • Wide hallways and doorways that can accommodate walkers and wheelchairs
  • Slip-resistant floors in apartments and common areas to help eliminate fall hazards
  • Well-placed lighting that keeps pathways visible and reduces the risk of falling
  • Emergency call systems in every apartment connect residents to our care team

Professional support and coordinated care

Provision Living has a skilled team of caregivers and nurses on-site at our assisted living communities 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering support and attentive oversight whenever they’re needed. Team duties include:

  • Performing quality assurance for medication blister packaging, dispensing and documenting medications, and monitoring residents for side effects or interactions
  • Coordinating with doctors and pharmacies to ensure continuity of care and updating families through regular communication about health or treatment
  • Conducting wellness checks throughout the day and night; addressing medical concerns quickly and coordinating with outside healthcare providers
  • Recognizing signs of cognitive changes, depression, or physical changes and providing compassionate, personalized support to ensure residents’ mental and emotional wellness

Holistic wellness programming

At Provision, our unique whole-person approach to wellness, Encircle Care, integrates health monitoring, physical activity, and social connection to support a physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially healthy lifestyle for all residents. The Encircle Care program includes:

  • Regular medical and wellness assessments to help identify potential concerns early on
  • Exercise classes that focus on balance, strength, and mobility, which helps reduce fall risks
  • Chef-prepared meals served in a social setting to ensure residents enjoy nutritious food as well as healthy social interaction
  • Life enrichment programs and activities that nurture physical, mental, emotional, and social health, all key factors when it comes to safety and quality of life
