Week Six

Open Your Windows

Now that we are having cooler fall weather, residents should open up their windows to get fresh air into their rooms. This will help circulate fresh air in and stagnate air out while improving air quality.


Plus, fresh air does the body good! So get outside and enjoy the fall weather this week!

  • Keep plates, towels, napkins, etc. away from burners at all times.
  • Always watch your food while it is cooking.

Laundry Tip

Do not wash pillows, stuffed animals and other items with stuffing. You don't want a washer full of stuffing or to ruin your items. Nor do we want to clean up your mess.
