The Princeton Senior Living Prepares to Keep the Cold Outside

Just as it is at home, at The Princeton Senior Living, preparing for winter can be an arduous task. There are several projects that need to be completed in preparation for cold weather and few of them are easy, especially when Jack Frost decides to come a little early, like this year.

Our homes and businesses can be affected by how quickly we can accommodate these tasks. If we move too early, we miss out on some of the creature’s comforts. If we wait too long, we run the risk of finding issues at the most inconvenient times (like a broken heater on the night the weather unexpectedly dips below freezing).

Preparation is a strong part of the human condition. Whether storing vegetables and meat or cutting firewood, our ancestors have been preparing for winter weather since their beginning. These days, preparing for cold weather is just a little more complex.

Some tasks we do in the community to prepare for colder weather and freezing temperatures are
drain low point drains for the sprinkler system and apply salt in problem areas to prevent slip and fall issues. This preparation is important to prevent broken pipes, as well as injuries. The safety and comfort of our residents, staff, and visitors is very important to us.

When we begin to see large temperature drops in the exterior temperatures, we immediately jump into action in implementing cold weather preparation.

No matter how big your house or successful your company, mother nature always seems to creep up on us this time of year. If you get ahead of it and plan for cold weather, you can save big on both stress and dollars.
