Incorporating safety concerns into design and construction

The nursing facility industry has provided a high level of fire safety according to statistics from the NFPA. To keep and improve this record, fire safety in the design and construction of nursing facilities must be a priority. Since the ground work of fire safety is laid in the design phase and finalized in the construction phase, such a priority will help lower initial and operating costs, improve the function of the facility, and provide a fire safe environment for residents and staff.
