Safety Advocate Applauds Government Decision Mandating Installation Of Smoke Detectors In Nursing Homes

The nation’s older nursing homes were primed for fire disaster that finally happened—tragically twice last year—when fires caused deaths of elderly residents at homes in Tennessee and Connecticut. The reason for the disaster—the homes were exempt from having to install sprinkler or fire alarm systems. That’s why a leading seniors’ safety advocate says the decision of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to mandate the installation of smoke detectors in nursing homes lacking sprinkler systems or hard-wired detection systems can help save the lives of nursing home clients, while providing increased peace of mind for caregiver families.
