Boulevard St. Charles Summer Safety Tips

As summer heats up, we at The Boulevard Senior Living of St. Charles prioritize maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for our older adult residents. Rising temperatures present unique challenges, especially in our senior living community, where residents are more vulnerable to heat-related issues. Our maintenance team follows some essential safety measures to ensure a safe, smooth-running, and pleasant summer for everyone.

We inspect air conditioning units regularly to ensure they function correctly and replace air filters to maintain air quality. Thermostats are set at comfortable temperatures, and cooling is monitored in common areas and resident rooms.

Team’s Maintenance and Safety Measures

• Provide shaded seating in outdoor areas
• Inspect and repair walkways to prevent trips
• Increase pest control to keep areas free from insects
• Check ventilation in common areas and kitchens
• Inspect electrical systems to prevent overloads
• Clean roofs and gutters to avoid leaks and water damage

We educate residents on staying hydrated and avoiding peak heat hours by distributing flyers and holding meetings. We also promote indoor events during extreme heat to keep residents engaged and safe.

In our community, we consistently clean our rooftop units to keep the environment cool during hot days and prevent breakdowns. To benefit all Arrow communities, stay on top of air conditioning maintenance by changing filters, ensuring condensation lines are clear, and adding tablets to condensation pans.

Promoting summer safety can boost occupancy by maintaining a clean exterior, keeping trash picked up, and ensuring the main entrances look inviting.

Following these tips ensures The Boulevard Senior Living of St. Charles remains safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all residents and staff throughout the summer months. Our dedication to maintaining a secure environment is essential to everyone’s well-being.
