We recently had the pleasure of visiting residents at Hearthwood Senior Living and Bartlett Park Apartments for educational sessions focused on safety, preparedness, and maintaining independence.
Our EMS Administrator Laura Negri was joined by Fire Inspector Wayne Maudling at Hearthwood Senior Living and Fire Inspector Nick Ackerman at Bartlett Park Apartments.
During these sessions, residents learned about important topics, including:
Medical Emergencies: Recognizing the signs of heart attacks, strokes, and other medical emergencies, understanding when to call 911, and knowing when other healthcare resources may be more appropriate.
Fall Prevention & Medication Safety: Identifying fall hazards, preventing injuries, managing medications safely, and preparing important medical information for first responders.
Fire & Weather Safety: Fire prevention, safe battery use and charging practices, severe weather preparedness, and what to do in the event of an emergency.
These visits also provided an opportunity to share information about our Home Safety Visit program, which helps residents identify potential hazards and reduce their risk of falls and injuries.
Community education is an important part of what we do at the Bartlett Fire District. By connecting with residents outside of emergency situations, we hope to provide the knowledge, resources, and confidence they need to stay safe and independent.
A special thank you to Hearthwood Senior Living and Bartlett Park Apartments for welcoming us! We appreciate the opportunity to connect with your residents and look forward to continuing these valuable partnerships!
