Key Lockbox

So I have come to the conclusion that my career as a blog writer will never take off because... well, I'm just not very good at keeping up with this thing on a regular basis. But you know what? At least the posts I DO have are useful and not just filled with junk and a ton of ads, so I guess there's that right? Ok, lets get to the point of this post. I have been meaning to make this one for a long time. In all of our initial classes and some CEUs, we talk about emergency prep

Fingerprint Locks

Ok, Ok, so I know I’ve already had a blog post on locks, but I have to share this with you all.

ABOUT MIA

Hi! I'm Mia, I am a long-term care professional with years of experience in the field. You most likely found my site because you attended one of the classes I teach through Assisted Living Education. I like to use my knowledge to share amazing ideas that I get from my experience and my students to make the long term care world a better place. I have a passion for helping others, and that is what drives me to provide quality content that is both informative and entertaining.

MIA'S PICK OF THE MONTH

My pick of the month is a fingerprint keypad door lock. This makes it simple for the staff to enter the facility without having to worry about carrying around a set of keys, and also lets the administrator know when someone locks and unlocks the front door. read more about keypad locks and where we can use them in this month's blog post.
