Emergency Response Preparedness

_{November 6, 2017}
Dear Family Member,

I am sure you have seen news coverage about emergency response following the recent hurricanes in Florida, Texas, and along the Golf Coast. Our thoughts are with the victims of these natural disasters. You may have seen news reports about the evacuations in skilled nursing centers in Florida and Texas. I want to assure you that the safety of your loved one and all of the residents at Canterbury Villa of Alliance is our top priority.

First, I want you to know that Canterbury Villa of Alliance has a detailed emergency response plan in place. Our plan includes procedures for sheltering in place as well as evacuating all residents safely, if that is necessary. We will ensure that food, water, and medical supplies are provided. We also have detailed plans for communicating with family members during an emergency.

Having a plan is important, but it's the first step. Our staff has taken time to practice implementing our emergency procedures. Throughout the year, we conduct regular Fire Drills as well as Tornado, Sever Weather, and Power Failure to name a few. We have worked closely with our local first responders, including the Alliance Fire Department, Alliance Police Department, Alliance Hospital, and we are an active member of the Stark County Disaster Committee to ensure we have their support during any situation that occurs.

You trust us to provide quality care for your loved one. Each day, we do all we can to fulfill that promise. That includes being prepared for all circumstances, including natural disasters or other emergencies.

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questic:His or concerns. Feel free to call or stop by any time. Making a Difference, One Resident at a Time is who we are!

Sincrely,


Michael M. Hohman, LNHA
