Security

Park Lane Terrace offers a secure environment. All doors are secured with mag locks that prevent the door from being opened internally or externally. All doors will automatically release in the event of fire. 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. The secure dementia care home area is accessible by use of the access code. The code is posted on the keypad at the entrance to the home area. The enclosed walkway can be accessed through the Sunrise Court Living Room or Dining Room. Fire Drills One fire drill is held on each shift, each month. Alarms are very loud and distracting. They may be very distressing to some residents. Occasionally residents may also be asked to evacuate their rooms as part of the fire drill.
