Comments on: Three Nursing Homes In Escambia, Santa Rosa In Compliance With Generator Rule http://www.northescambia.com/2017/12/three-nursing-homes-in-escambia-santa-rosa-in-compliance-with-generator-rule Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:43:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Fred http://www.northescambia.com/2017/12/three-nursing-homes-in-escambia-santa-rosa-in-compliance-with-generator-rule/comment-page-1#comment-354566 Fred Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:28:47 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=306472#comment-354566 @William - I should have been more clear, Solaris has two huge diesel generators that do indeed power the entire building, and did so during the 2014 flooding storm, and for days afterward. My advice to those seeking a facility for their loved ones is to check the place out thoroughly, and talk to actual families. One of those in the story has a poor reputation among family members who have had to move their loved ones out. I’m just trying to be fair. @William – I should have been more clear, Solaris has two huge diesel generators that do indeed power the entire building, and did so during the 2014 flooding storm, and for days afterward.

And there are state and federal inspections that will take care of the proper maintenance , called a j tag when there is danger to those that are being cared for. This translates into $ fines and owners don't like those at all. When will Alabama follow this ,the elders and infirmed should have a safe environment to live in.

Sure like your idea of corporate sponsors and others to help. It will be expensive but in many/most areas it needs to be required to protect patients lives. Not buying that Tax payers should foot the bill ( Medicaid ) but like Hospitals etc. it's a necessity. Ive got a feelin most of us will end-up in one if them which gives me a heart and belly ache. Just having the back-up power Is not the end ........it'll require a lot of maintenance ,exercising and checking and double checking to insure the systems works when needed. @ My 2 cents.

I like the idea of the facilities having backup power. It just makes sense. I wonder if they could reach out and get corporate sponsors to help with the cost of the generators.
