A Resident's Door Should Not Be an Obstacle to Independence!
Sometimes an obstacle
is not recognized,
until a solution
becomes available.
Independent
Living communities provide seniors with the environment and amenities
that offer a quality of life purposely intended for them. The
Private-Door Assistant promotes this lifestyle by removing the
barriers that doors are to residents who use wheelchairs, scooters,
walkers and canes. With the Private-Door Assistant, the opening and
closing of a door becomes a simple act again, instead of a challenge.
Current and prospective residents will appreciate the effort you have
taken to ensure their accessibility to the facility's amenities and
social functions when you offer a Private-Door Assistant.

Enrich The Quality Of Life For
Residents
Independent
Living Facilities provide an environment and amenities to seniors that
assure a “quality of life” that is purposely intended for them.
Because a majority of residents use either a wheelchair, walker or
cane everyday, facilities are designed to accommodate these assistive
devices. Private-Door promotes a self-reliant lifestyle by removing
the barrier their apartment door can be to their independence.
Private-Door simplifies their day by making the opening and closing of
their apartment door a simple act again. With remote control
convenience, residents will enjoy uninhibited access to activities and
services they value most.
Enhance The Facility's Image
Concerned
providers give careful and thoughtful consideration to the individual
as well as the collective needs of the residents. They provide
specialized services, social activities, security and other amenities
that encourage self-reliance and participation in community
activities. Private-Door compliments these efforts by assisting the
residents to be self-reliant and involved in social activities. By
automating the apartment doors of residents a major impediment to
their independence is eliminated. Prospective clients will recognize
and appreciate the effort taken to ensure accessibility to their
apartment and to the facility’s activities and amenities.
Increase Revenues And Minimize
Vacancies
Independent
Living Facilities require residents to be able to perform activities
of daily living with a minimum of staff support. Studies show that the
ability to enter and leave one’s dwelling is the most common activity
seniors need assistance with. With Private-Door resident dependence on
staff for assistance is reduced, freeing staff to fulfill other
duties. Private-Door may reduce potential vacancies. Current residents
will remain independent longer, extending their stay in the facility.
Automating the apartment doors for potential residents will expand the
new client base to include individuals who need additional assistance
without impact to staff.
Reduce Potential
Liability By Minimizing Potentials For Falls

closing door open while passing through the doorway. Private-Door
eliminates this frustrating activity while reducing the potential for
a fall.

closing doors and wall treatments as they enter and exit their
apartment. Private-Door will virtually eliminate this damage by
opening and holding open the door while they pass through the doorway.

A New Revenue Stream With
Private-Door
No
one method of evaluating how, or if, to recover the initial investment
in providing Private-Door can be applied. Each organization places its
own value on goodwill and the amenities necessary to fulfill their
mission to serve the resident. Where one organization may choose to
purchase a Private-Door another may choose to assess a minimal
surcharge to the rent. Some organizations may choose to let the tenant
buy the operator themselves. The three models are reviewed in detail
