Features.
Designed to the Canadian National Building Code to allow for installation anywhere in Canada, Sentinel Cottages include all-metal construction and are powder-coated to ensure a robust, rust-free building that will provide value and long service life. The exterior low maintenance design provides a welcoming and non-threatening lake-cottage look that fits in with almost all urban and rural settings.
Accessibility, safety and comfort are priorities in the standard features of each Sentinel Cottage. Wide, low-sloped access ramps and covered entrance decks provide easy access while extra-wide entrance doors allow ample room for wheelchairs or mobility scooters to pass through.
A large, clear floor-to-ceiling interior window, along with an exceptional hands-free audio system, bright exterior windows for natural light, and easy-to-clean neutral-coloured floors and walls provide a warm and inviting setting for each visit. It's like having an informal get-together in a family living room.
Depending on Public Health Orders, the visitors' room comfortably allows for up to five or six members from the same household or 'safe bubble' to visit with their loved one who sits in the adjoining room. Based upon who's present, the environmentally separated rooms may allow for the choice of visiting without the use of special personal protective equipment (like masks) so that facial recognition, emotional expressions, and body language are clear and easy to read. Isolated seniors can finally visit with their loved ones again - including little grandchildren - in happy and safe surroundings.
The standard features of the Sentinel Cottage can be further enhanced with a number of custom options to provide for any facility's requirements:
Sealed gloves mounted in the interior window to allow for safe hand holding again
Automated doors for touch-free entrance and exits needs
Telecoil-enhanced hearing aid assistance to maximize the quality of visits for the hearing impared
An all-season heating and cooling system to augment the standard room heating service
Advanced HEPA air filtration for added air quality protection
Smoke and fire detection with monitoring (locally only or through the primary facility service)
Remote access monitoring with security cardlock and wireless video doorbell access control
Easy access call buttons in each room to contact facility staff for energencies or general assistance
Automated controls for lighting and temperature further enhance environmental comfort and energy savings
Sliding exterior windows for natural ventilation
Dust-free, integral window blinds for additional privacy
