Security
Tsi Thonwatíhsnye’s Long Term Care offers a secure environment. All doors are secured with mag-locks that prevent the door from being opened internally or externally. In the event of a fire, doors will release automatically. Many of the doors have key pads adjacent to them that when activated will release the mag-locks for a time limited window allowing residents, family or staff to enter or leave the building. Doors will alarm or re-lock at the end of this designated window of time.
Coded access allows residents and families to move freely in and out of the building. Residents who are capable are invited to exit the building and utilize the walkways, patios and garden areas around our home.
Fire Drills
A fire drill is conducted during every shift on a monthly basis, with loud and disruptive alarms that could potentially cause distress to certain residents.
Occasionally residents may also be asked to evacuate their rooms as part of the fire drill.
