Activists Raise Alarm for Seniors, Deliver Carbon Monoxide Detectors to Atria Marland Place

Date:1/27/2008

t for residential purposes to have carbon monoxide detectors. This includes nursing homes and assisted living facilities such as Atria Marland Place.

Unfortunately, Atria Senior Living has a history of failing to properly care for residents, particularly in emergencies. In addition to failing to protect residents from possible carbon monoxide poisoning in Andover, other Atria facilities have been cited numerous times for placing residents in situations that make their safe evacuation difficult, and for housing residents who are not able to evacuate on their own in an emergency.

Atria Senior Living is one of the largest senior living providers in the country, with more than 130 facilities in 27 states. Atria operates 10 facilities in Massachusetts and the company is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.

More details on Atria are available at http://www.improveassistedliving.org/.

The Campaign to Improve Assisted Living is an SEIU Healthcare campaign that unites assisted living caregivers with residents, family members, and senior advocates to stand for quality services for seniors and a voice on the job for caregivers. More than 1 million healthcare workers in hospitals, nursing homes, and in-home care have united in SEIU Healthcare for quality care and quality jobs.
