Safety Features for Peace of Mind

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home.

That is why many of our SDA homes have alert buttons in every bedroom and bathroom.

Need support? Just press a button. Help is on the way.

This means you can feel safe and confident to go about your day independently, knowing that support is close by when you need it.
