LONG TERM CARE FACILITY SAFETY & SECURITY
RISK MANAGEMENT THRU SAFETY AND SECURITY
Long Term Care (LTC) Facilities present unique security issues different from traditional hospital and health care facility security requirements. Patients/residents in LTC facilities are more at risk to harm from their own actions like wandering, confusion and disorientation, from outsiders taking advantage of their frail and weakened conditions, or from their own aggressive behaviors. Extra care, attention and security is required.
SDC provides Security & Life Safety Solutions for LTC Facilities designed to not only increase safety and security for residents but to also integrate easily throughout the facility for overall cost-efficiency, risk management and code compliance.
