About 80 percent of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in private residential settings, so being trained to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can mean the difference between life and death for a loved one. Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after cardiac arrest, can double a victim's chance of survival.

File of Life

We encourage all of our residents to have a file of life magnet/card.  This lists important medical conditions and has a medication list so that if you are unable to tell us your past medical history we may be able to better help you.  Please stop by the building if you would like one of these magnets for your home.  To get more information on the File of Life just press on the picture below.
