The Parkway Senior Living Prepares to Keep the Cold Outside

Category: Health & Wellness

Author: Ralph Blount, Regional Plant Operations Coordinator

Just as it is at home, at The Parkway Senior Living, preparing for winter can be an arduous task. There are several projects that need to be completed in preparation for cold weather and few of them are easy, especially when Jack Frost decides to come a little early, like this year.

Our homes and businesses can be affected by how quickly we can accommodate these tasks. If we move too early, we miss out on some of the creature comforts. If we wait too long, we run the risk of finding issues at the most inconvenient times (like a broken heater on the night the weather unexpectedly dips below freezing).

Preparation is a strong part of the human condition. Whether storing vegetables and meat or cutting firewood, our ancestors have been preparing for winter weather since their beginning. These days, preparing for cold weather is just a little more complex.

Some tasks we do in the community to prepare for colder weather and freezing temperatures is
check that all low point drains are emptied consistently and apply salt to walkways as needed. By draining low points, we are avoiding freezing and pipes bursting. Applying salt prevents hazardous slipping on common walkways.

The trigger event that helps us decide to begin cold weather preparation is sudden or impending temperature changes.

No matter how big your house or successful your company, mother nature always seems to creep up on us this time of year. If you get ahead of it and plan for cold weather, you can save big on stress and dollars.
