March 9, 2021

Laurel Circle, a Life Care Services (LCS) Life Plan Community offering a progressive, new approach to senior living, is one of the first LCS communities to implement the EverSafe 360° program, setting a new health and safety standard for residents and staff.

A nationally-recognized leader of senior living communities serving 33,000 seniors across 140 communities nationwide, LCS recently launched EverSafe 360° for addressing at the highest level the overall experience surrounding health, safety and wellbeing. EverSafe 360° features an elevated standard of safety for improving air quality, maintaining clean spaces including electrostatic disinfecting and a UV light sanitizer system, following specific guidelines established by the LCS Medical Advisory Board comprised of doctors and clinicians, enhanced technology engagement programs for addressing isolation, and utilizing telemedicine.

“The creation of an embraceable response program that alleviates fear and enhances the wellbeing, security and safety of our residents and staff is very rewarding and we are proud to be one of the initial LCS communities nationwide to receive the benefits of EverSafe 360°,” said Laurel Circle Executive Director, Brian Alexopoulos.

“Providing a continuous evolution of safety, we are committed to addressing the changing needs of every resident, family and employee we serve,” added Alexopoulos. “We hope this sets a new standard for other senior living communities to follow as well.”

EverSafe 360° addresses every physical component and process at Laurel Circle including environmental health services, development and design, dining, community activities, clinical, marketing, purchasing, technology, and business continuity. The EverSafe 360⁰ Indoor Air Quality Initiative emphasizes the importance of air quality indoors comprised of heating, venting and cooling systems specially equipped for combatting against airborne pathogens. New applications at Laurel Circle include:

• Installing advanced HEPA filters in elevators and high-trafficked common areas like the lobby, dining venues and auditorium.
• Creating safe COVID areas in the health center which benefits the community by decreasing the spread of the virus and provides a peace of mind for residents, families and staff.

EverSafe 360° Telemedicine technology provides an overall health and wellness platform to ensure residents have ready access to physician services on demand at all care levels. Timely medical consultation and ready access to physician services on demand are available, without having to leave the community.
