(Newswire.net — July 8, 2014) Fall River, MA — Fall River, MA-based Apollo Safety, Inc. a veteran-owned company that specializes in safety products and services, recently formed a senior living division to better serve senior living facilities, assisted living facilities and nursing homes. The new division will provide vast offerings for senior residential facilities in the areas of gas detection equipment, maintenance and monitoring.
“Residents at senior living facilities are typically there because they need some level of assistance on a daily basis. If there is a gas leak, especially in the form of carbon monoxide because it has no odor, chances are pretty good it will go undetected by residents. That’s why it’s critical that senior living facilities have reliable gas detection monitors on site,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “Our new senior living division will help these facilities select the appropriate system for their needs and make recommendations for a suitable maintenance schedule.”
Apollo Safety sells portable and stationary gas detection systems suitable for large universities, including name brands like Industrial Scientific, RAE Systems by Honeywell, RKI Instruments, and GMI. Apollo Safety also rents portables gas monitors on a weekly or monthly basis. Rental equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Apollo Safety service offerings also include on-site installation and training and service seven days a week. Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained. In addition, Apollo offers its own proprietary training program, with five levels of certification.
“By law, senior living facilities in Massachusetts must have gas detection systems–each year, more and more states are adopting this law. Having those systems in place can only save lives if you know they are working properly. That’s what makes having a maintenance program critical,” said Carvalho. “With our new division, we provide maintenance and monitoring services to actually test gas detection systems so the facility knows that it’s working properly rather than just assuming all is well.”
