Advantages & Disadvantages of Installing Fire Protection Solutions

Since 2013, all long-term care facilities in the United States are required to have operational fire sprinkler systems. Because of the limited mobility and critical care needs of long-term care residents and those living in assisted living facilities, properly functioning fire sprinklers and other fire protection measures are essential. When it comes to the advantages of installing a broad array of fire protection systems, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages and include:

  • Regulatory Compliance. Failure to install the required systems and engage in preventative maintenance programs can cause a facility to fall out of compliance. Maintaining these systems shields your facility from fines and potential refusals for Medicaid/Medicare reimbursements.
  • Resident Safety. Rapid detection is essential for alerting staff and residents to a fire. The faster the warning, the faster your teams can evacuate residents and take steps to halt the spread of the fire. This not only saves lives, but it also minimizes damage to the facility.
  • Equipment & Personal Property Protection. Whether it’s a respirator, heart monitor, bedding, or other tool or fixture, long-term care facilities contain expensive equipment and residents’ personal possessions. The faster your alarms sound, and the faster your fire suppression systems deploy, the less damage the equipment and personal items within your facility will suffer.
  • Late-Night Monitoring. Most fires in assisted living facilities don’t start during regular business hours. Many fires start late at night when staffing is at a minimum. Fire alarms, emergency lighting, and the appropriate fire suppression system immediately alert staff to problems and make it easier to evacuate residents to safety. They also make it possible to direct first responders to the fire’s location, which expedites their ability to extinguish the flames and provide assistance to residents in the greatest danger.

In terms of disadvantages, there is only one disadvantage of installing a fire suppression system. In particular, wet systems that rely on water to suppress the fire. When these systems deploy, they can cause water damage to computers and other electronics. They can also damage personal possessions, furniture, etc. However, compared to the protection they provide, this is a small price to pay for saving lives and protecting the structure from becoming a total loss.

Contact Performance Systems Integration to learn more about the advantages of installing reliable fire protection systems in your facility. It’s our pleasure to tell you how we integrate these systems into the emergency response plans you use to keep your employees and residents safe from harm.

Maintenance & Repairs are Essential in Long-Term Care Facilities

Most insurers and regulatory agencies require preventative maintenance programs. These programs ensure that fire alarms, fire suppression systems, emergency lighting systems, and other fire protection systems are fully functional at all times.

At Performance Systems Integration, our preventative maintenance programs for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care facilities are tailored to our clients’ industry-specific needs. Not only do we thoroughly inspect, test, and repair each system, we provide thorough documentation regarding the deficiencies we detect and the repairs we perform. This ensures our clients remain compliant with all applicable regulations and helps shield them in the event a fire breaks out and leads to a lawsuit.
