Drills & training for senior care facilities

Three core programs — conducted in your facility and built around State, Federal and NFPA code requirements — keep your staff prepared and your residents safe.

Fire and disaster drill training
Required

Fire & Disaster Drills

Conducted in your facility per State and Federal mandated codes. Every facility must have 12 fire drills a year — one per shift, per quarter.

The number of disaster drills depends on your state and what your facility is licensed for.

Evacuation drill
RCFE & SNF

Evacuation Drills

Required in RCFE facilities bi-monthly — and many SNFs are now choosing to participate as well. We teach staff how to help residents shelter in place, move to another safe area of the facility, or to a pre-arranged safe area outside.

Follows local and NFPA / International Fire Codes.

Training Drills

Customized to what your facility needs to work on with staff, or for resident education — for example, extra training on your Disaster Plan. We also offer Resident Training.

Scheduled on request and designed with input from your executive staff. Sessions generally last one hour; billed with a one-hour minimum, then in 15-minute increments.
