         Unless they are wind powered, they won’t work in an emergency during a loss of power. A so called pit set or low silhouette install is much safer with a ramp, and less expensive depending on the design. All of the homes in Hidden Harbor are installed 12″ above grade for this and other reasons.

   As I have for years, I am a strong advocate of structuring a community for keeping residents out of SLFs. The stats indicate that community operators can keep their residents an average of seven more years if they structure properly, and those seven additional years can justify some additional cost on the part of operators. That we keep ignoring this potential bonanza would baffle me if I hadn’t been a part of this industry long enough to realize that the majority of this industry tends to be short-term in their thinking.

   Good teaser article, but way too short. Please consider a much longer article with real numbers to help spread the message.
