This proactive approach not only prevents accidents and injuries, but also safeguards the institution against legal liabilities.

- Peace of mind
Parents and caregivers are entitled to trust that their loved ones wellbeing is prioritised in third-party facilities. Regular maintenance provided assurance that the facility is committed to creating a safe and secure environment for their dependents.
