New Smoke Detector Technology

Many homes in Senior Communities feature Smoke Detectors which are hard wired.
These Smoke Detectors also have a 9 Volt Battery Back-Up to ensure your Detector will work even when you lose power.

Remember Change Your Clock – Change your Smoke Detector Batteries.

Recent research shows most Older Adults will NOT wake up quickly for a Smoke Detector which is outside of their bedroom.
New Technology provides Smoke Detectors for Seniors who have hearing loss and for people who are deaf.
It is now possible to record your own voice into a Smoke Detector so that you can alert yourself of a Fire. This type of Detector would be placed in your bedroom.
