Creating a Safe Home: Safety Features at Avendelle at Lazy River
How We Prioritize Security, Peace of Mind, and 24/7 Care
When a loved one moves into assisted living, peace of mind isn’t just about quality care—it’s also about knowing they’re safe. At Avendelle at Lazy River, we’ve designed our home with one core belief in mind: every resident deserves to feel protected, comfortable, and completely at ease, day and night.
Safety isn’t just a checklist for us—it’s a promise. From thoughtfully designed spaces to proactive supervision, here’s a look at the key safety features that set Avendelle apart and give families true confidence in their choice.
1. 24-Hour Awake Staff
Our caregivers aren’t just present—they’re alert and available around the clock. Whether a resident needs assistance at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., we’re here to respond immediately. This 24-hour awake care ensures no one is ever left alone in an emergency or waiting for help.
2. Secure Alarm Systems
Every entry and exit point in our home is equipped with a comprehensive alarm system, providing an extra layer of security for all residents—especially those with memory care needs who may be at risk of wandering. We monitor who enters and exits the home, so you can trust your loved one is always in a secure environment.
3. Emergency Backup Generator
Life is unpredictable—and so is the weather. In the event of a power outage, our emergency backup generator automatically kicks in, ensuring that vital systems (like heat, air conditioning, lighting, and medical equipment) continue operating without interruption. It’s just one more way we plan ahead for the unexpected.
4. Thoughtful Home Design for Safety and Comfort
Our residential-style layout is designed to be familiar and easy to navigate. With wide, clutter-free hallways, non-slip flooring, and grab bars in bathrooms, every space is created to reduce the risk of falls and make daily life safer and simpler for seniors with mobility or vision challenges.
5. Medication Management and Oversight
Safety also means keeping health routines on track. Our trained staff handle medication management, ensuring prescriptions are taken correctly and on time. No missed doses, no confusion—just consistent, dependable support.
6. Fire Safety and Smoke Detection Systems
Avendelle at Lazy River is equipped with modern smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and fire safety systems throughout the home. Our team is also trained in emergency procedures, ensuring a fast, calm, and efficient response if a situation ever arises.
7. Small Setting, Big Awareness
With fewer residents than a traditional facility, our caregivers can closely monitor each individual’s habits, routines, and subtle changes in behavior or health. That means early intervention if something seems off, and a higher level of personalized supervision that just isn’t possible in larger, institutional settings.
Safety Is Our Foundation—So You Can Focus on What Matters
At Avendelle at Lazy River, we know that true comfort comes from more than cozy furniture and warm meals—it comes from the assurance that your loved one is in a secure, well-managed environment where their safety is always a top priority.
Whether you’re visiting for the day or tucking them in at night, we want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands.
