Are there policies on residents having firearms at your facility?

My father's independent living facility has a no guns policy.

The client lived in the assisted living wing. By the time they figured out they were missing the man, he’d gone down to his storage unit and grabbed his .357. That’s where it happened, and the whole area is still cordoned off either by them or the cops.

There is a no gun policy. But like someone said, if you bring it in a box who will know?

I would think that a facility that has Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care would have a "No weapons" policy.
But this would probably be an individual facility policy or if it corporate run a corporation would have a policy on weapons. (and I think at this time most facilities have corporations backing them.)

I think if I were an employee, or a resident for that matter and was met at the door by a gun waving resident I would make a fast 911 call. And if the facility has a Color Code for Armed person that that code would be broadcast over a PA system.
If I were a resident and I found out that a neighbor to my Right, Left, Above or Below me had a gun I would be upset and request a move to another "safer" apartment.

Even if there is a no guns policy in place if somebody moves in with a weapon and they keep it tucked away in a suitcase or a box who's going to know? What a frightening possibility 😰😱

I forget, ur husband just started working in a NH or AL facility?

Really doesn't matter, huh. No, no one entering any type of facility should be allowed to have a weapon of any kind, IMO.

What I worry about with your husband is there is a certain criteria that has to be met when cleaning up bodily fluids. Every year because I worked at a Visiting Nurse facility, I had to do a blood born pathogens class. Your husband should make sure he wears gloves and disposes of them in a red waste basket that says Hazardous on it. A mask too. There are cleaners that kill the germs without using bleach. They are used in ambulances. There should be procedures in place. If Osha comes in, they better have the info available they require.

P.S. there is a certain way to take off surgical gloves so you don't touch the. For xtra safety wash hands very well.

Seems like the policy should be no firearms allowed in these facilities. I dont understand a place like that allowing any of the residents to have guns.

Oy gevalt. I'm so sorry, Peggy.
