Kirby Pines Retirement Community | The Pinecone

• 2 • The Pinecone | June 2020 ON THE PINECONE COVER Residents at Kirby Pines have the security of knowing that they are taken care of in all stages of life, because of the comprehensive life care agreement that is unique to Kirby Pines. However, the life care agreement is only one of many security features unique to living here. The electronic key system at Kirby Pines – Cliq Key – is designed to record each key put into any lock. A print out of a particular lock, will show whose individual key was put into the lock, and whether that key granted or denied access to that lock. In some locations, we have installed locks that only a handful of individuals have been granted access to, and if a key is inserted into one of those locks, that individual key is “killed” simply by placing into the wrong lock, forcing that individual to come to the administrative offices to have their key reprogrammed. Our key system provides the added security of being able to track the time, date and person using the key. One of the newest security features at Kirby Pines, is the recent installation of Mobotix Thermal Cameras. These cameras take the temperature of individuals and things passing by them, such as an iPhone, or the battery of a motorized chair, or a simple cup of coffee. These cameras then send an alert message, Advances in Security a t K i r b y P i n e s Michael Escamilla, Executive Director, Kirby Pines Celebrating Love &Marriage at Kirby Pines Kirby Pines Retirement Community is managed by: BOARD OF D I R ECTOR S Dr. James Latimer, Chairman Mr. Rudy Herzke, President Mr. Berry Terry, Secretary/Treasurer Mr. Larry Braughton Rev.

We have so many amazing father's at Kirby Pines; men of character, men of faith and men of accomplishment. Though most at this point are grandparents and great grandparents, they are still looked up to and admired by everyone who gets to know them. To all of you, Happy Father's Day! June is also the month you typically associate with weddings. We have so many wonderful couples at Kirby Pines, that we thought we would celebrate their commitment to love and honor for one another. We do have a handful of residents who are still in that newlywed phase, but many have been together through thick and thin and are withstanding the test of time. One of those couples are featured on our front cover, Fred and Cindy Dabrowski. These two celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year with a tropical cruise that included the entire family. This year, they are quietly celebrating in their newly renovated garden home here at Kirby Pines. We are thrilled to along with a series of four photos in time sequences, to preselected desk top computers and iPhones. Two images are sent simultaneously, one is a thermal image with a pin point indicator of where the elevated temperature is located; and the other is a clear photograph of who or what triggered the elevated alert on the Mobotix Thermal Camera. Thereby allowing us to act to stop someone who might have an elevated temperature, which is one of the symptoms related to Covid-19. These enhanced technological devices add to our overall security, but the best sense of security, remains living among friends at Kirby Pines. have you! Our back cover continues our June wedding theme with a handful of photos submitted by our residents of their big day. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do and cheers to all of our couples living their happily ever after! Cindy & Fred Dabrowski June 21, 1969
