Retirement should be about living worry-free. That’s why Friendship Village is committed to safety and security in our communities so you can focus on enjoying each day, stress-free. In the following article, learn about some of the measures we have in place to ensure peaceful living at Friendship Village.
“Safety and security are built into procedures and building design all throughout our senior living communities,” explains Carmen Fronczak, Executive Director, Friendship Village Chesterfield. “Our team consistently creates the best possible space for our residents to thrive and that includes making sure their environment is always safe and secure.”
Designed for Safety
Across the US, approximately 25% of seniors fall each year, making it the leading cause of injury in this age group. The design choices at Friendship Village are always aesthetically pleasing and serve important functions. To minimize fall risk, spaces have been designed with well-lit pathways, wide hallways with railings, and strategic furniture placement to help residents feel confident as they enjoy each of our two campuses.
Out and About…Without the Stress
Love exploring town, but dislike the stress of driving and parking? Well, Friendship Village residents are able to enjoy the safety and comfort of one of our chauffeured vehicles. We know the roads seem more like race tracks everyday and impaired vision, hearing and mobility issues can add stress that keeps you from venturing out. Our transportation and shuttle services make it easy and stress-free to run errands and visit favorite St. Louis spots when it’s convenient to you.
A Physician Clinic Just Steps Away
Residents at Friendship Village enjoy the convenience of medical appointments right on campus. We have an on-site physician clinic allowing for consistent care that is just a few steps away. On-site services make it easy to keep up with annual wellness exams and preventative care like flu shots.
Around-the-clock Security and Emergency Assist
Your safety and security is not just limited to the daytime either. We have 24-hour security and emergency assist systems. The immediate availability of these systems enables quick response times to medical emergencies or accidents, improving timely intervention and potentially saving lives.
Additionally, the presence of trained security personnel at all times ensures a safe environment and minimizes any suspicious activity. These proactive and comprehensive measures foster a sense of comfort among residents and their families.
