Emergencies can be unsettling, especially when a loved one is in assisted living. At Brentwood Healthcare Center, safety is a top priority—and that means having clear, practiced emergency protocols in place and keeping families informed every step of the way.

Prepared for a Range of Situations

Whether it’s a medical emergency, power outage, severe weather, or fire drill, our staff is trained to respond swiftly and appropriately. We conduct regular training sessions and emergency preparedness drills to ensure everyone knows what to do—keeping residents safe, calm, and cared for.

Clear, Reliable Communication

In any emergency, communication is essential. Brentwood maintains updated contact information for every resident’s family and designated emergency contact. Our team notifies families promptly in the event of an urgent situation and keeps them informed as needed throughout the response.

On-Site Resources and Backup Plans

Brentwood is equipped with backup generators, secured entrances, and emergency call systems in resident rooms. Our staff includes licensed medical professionals who are available 24/7, and we have protocols in place for coordinating with emergency services and nearby hospitals when necessary.

Peace of Mind for Families

Knowing your loved one is in a community that prioritizes both safety and transparency can ease anxiety. At Brentwood, we’re not only prepared for emergencies—we’re committed to handling them with compassion, professionalism, and clear communication.
