Why is it a good idea to have an AED in retirement homes and senior living communities?

Retirement homes and senior living communities house individuals who are at higher risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to age-related health conditions. Having an AED on-site allows staff to intervene quickly in an emergency, significantly improving the chances of survival. In these settings, where medical emergencies are more likely to occur, having an easily accessible AED is critical to safeguarding the well-being of residents.
