Cold Weather Protection
Prolonged exposure to freezing or cold temperatures may cause serious health problems such as trench foot, frostbite, and hypothermia. In extreme cases, including cold water immersion, exposure can lead to death. Danger signs include uncontrolled shivering, slurred speech, clumsy movements, fatigue, and confused behavior. If these signs are observed, call for emergency help. Hang in there – the cold weather will end soon!

TEAM SPOTLIGHT Who’s Who On Site
Allied Electric did an amazing job last month switching the electrical service over to our new system. We had a very tight schedule to maintain due to resident and staff requirements. We received compliments from the staff about how impressed they were with the process and how we met all of the time frames that we were given. A big thank you goes to Allied for going above and beyond that day.
