Keeping Pools Safe for Loved Ones of All Ages

Far too often when we think of pool safety we think of small children.  Keeping your loved ones safe around the pool includes your precious family pets, disabled family members as well as anyone you are caring for that may suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's Disease.
Here's the problem, individual's who suffer from Alzheimer's have difficulty judging distance and determining color and contrast.  In terms of perception, they may see the pool, but only see the bottom and not be able to judge the distance and that is actually water.  When it cannot be determined in the mind that it is not a hard surface, they continue to walk therefore falling into the pool causing possible head injuries or even worse, death.  


By installing a pool safety fence which creates a barrier around the swimming pool and a self-closing, self-latching gate, you are reducing the chances of an accidental drowning. You can also help reduce the tragedy of accidental drowning by adding layers of protection, such as an door alarm or gate alarm. 

Help keep your loved ones safe around the pool.  For more information on pool safety fences please visit Pool Guard Safety Fences.
