The Safe Lowell

[Berniece Domnick]

TheSafe Home Care Project is excited to present the following materials from our current research on interventions to improve safety for home care workers and their clients/consumers.

This safety handbook, created in collaboration with twelve research partners from the Massachusetts home care community, can be downloaded for printing services or distributed electronically in its entirety.

This video features animated illustrations from the safety handbook as well as interviews with home care aides who share reasons why they are committed to the field of care work and the well-being of their clients, and some features of the home care visit that help them do their best.

This brochure, in a printable center-folding format, provides the most impactful initial study findings to guide practice improvements for home care providers. Our research continues on fully evaluating the Safe Home Care Intervention package for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

The Lowell Police Department (LPD) is committed to the safety of our residents who may have a disability or condition which would cause them to wander from their safe environment. With this in mind, the LPD has initiated a Safe Watch Program designed to proactively gather pertinent and recent information on the individual. If a person should go missing, the LPD is immediately prepared to begin an informed search, deploying resources constructively with the best chance of returning the individual to their safe environment as quickly as possible. Responsible family members of these individuals are encouraged to make use of this program by filling out the form below and update it with the LPD as necessary.

This Safe Routes to School project improved safety and access for kids to walk and bike to school between Lowell Elementary and Meany Middle School. We made several improvements to calm traffic, increase visibility, and reduce the crossing distance at intersections:

This project is funded by the 9-year Levy to Move Seattle, approved by voters in 2015. Additional funding comes from a Washington State Department of Transportation grant and our local Safe Routes to School program.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is on a mission to deliver a transportation system that provides safe and affordable access to places and opportunities for everyone as we work to achieve our vision of Seattle as a thriving, equitable community powered by dependable transportation.

The Reducing Injury and Death of Missing Individuals with Dementia and Developmental Disabilities Program supports local jurisdictions efforts to reduce the number of deaths and injuries of individuals with forms of dementia, such as Alzheimers Disease or developmental disabilities, such as autism who, due to their condition, wander from safe environments. It provides funding to law enforcement and public safety agencies to implement locative technologies to track missing individuals; and to such agencies and partnering nonprofit organizations to develop or operate programs to prevent wandering, increase individuals safety, and facilitate rescues.

She went further: she offered to outfit not only Camp Sherman but any other camp that might be in need of poetry books. In the end, Amy sent poetry libraries to thirty-four army camps around the United States. When military hospitals contacted her for books, she was just as eager to help and sent packets of books to hospitals around the country. By the summer of 1918, Amy Lowell had placed poetry in the hands of just about any United States soldier asking for it. Modern or classics: they wanted poems and she answered their need.

When the war ended, Evans returned to civilian life. He published a book of poetry titled Ironica and dedicated one of the poems to Amy Lowell. And why not? She had motivated him with poetry and he paid her back in kind.

Surging nationwide Coronavirus numbers and the lack of driving the past few weeks may deter you and your family from celebrating this weekend. We here at Smith Chevy of Lowell have compiled a list of tips for having a safe and healthy holiday weekend.

Lowell, Massachusetts, a city of 111,000 people, is home to Lowell National Historical Park. Many of the park sites are located within several blocks in the busy, vibrant downtown . As with any similar historic urban setting, there are a few precautions to keep in mind to insure that you have the best visit possible:

Lowell National Historical Park operates three reproduction streetcars that transport visitors along the tracks to park sites and tour locations. The Seashore Trolley Museum also operates a vintage 1924 streetcar on the same set of tracks. Look both ways for the streetcars whenever walking (or driving) across tracks in the downtown. If driving, please do not stop on the tracks, and park clear of any tracks to allow the streetcars to pass by. Riders on the streetcars are reminded to remain seated at all times, keep hands and arms inside the streetcars, and to use care when stepping up or down boarding the cars.

The current within the canals is very swift, and is much more powerful just under the surface than it may appear. No swimming is allowed in any of the canals. No boats, canoes, kayaks, or other watercraft are allowed in the canals (Only the National Park tour boats, and boats servicing the canal system for the hydropower company, are allowed by special arrangement).

Lowell National Historical Park offers guided canal boat tours throughout the canal system during the Summer and Fall seasons. Our boats are inspected and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, and our captains are licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard. All boats are equipped with the required safety equipment, including lifejackets for both adults and youths. We do not require lifejackets to be worn on tours, but they are available for use if visitors desire to use them.

Getting to the tour boats may include walking on uneven earthen, wood, and granite surfaces, or on floating or stationary boat docks. Use caution and follow the instructions of the tour ranger and tour boat crew members. Check our Accessibility page for a video of the route used to get to the tour boats. The boats are open-topped, and there is little overhead cover or shade along the route of the tour. Tours run rain or shine. Occasionally, tours may be cancelled due to severe weather or changing water conditions. For any visitors concerned with the weather, we would be happy to reschedule your tour for any other available time or date.

If you have any questions or safety concerns, please contact the park by phone at (978) 970-5000, by the email link on our contact us page, or, during regular operating hours, talk to a park ranger at the Visitor Center or one of our other park sites.

Is UMass Lowell safe? On this page, we'll examine crime statistics for the college campus and surrounding areas.Info in this crime and safety report on UMass Lowell:Understanding the StatsUMass Lowell Crime OverallOn-Campus CrimeCrime on Off-Campus Affiliated PropertyResidence Hall CrimeCrime in the Lowell NeighborhoodReferencesA Word About the Crime Stats for UMass LowellTypes of Crime & Safety IncidentsWe have compiled this information on crime statistics from the U.S. Department of Education's Campus Safety and Security data. The types of crimes are divided into the following categories: arrests for major crimes, arrests for possession, violence against women, and disciplinary actions.The arrests for major crimes category includes arrests for things such as murder, robbery, rape, aggravated assault, and arson. The violence against women grouping includes things such as domestic violence, date rape, and stalking. The arrests for possession classification deals with things such as weapons possession, alcohol violations, and drug violations. The disciplinary actions category involves possession of weapons, alcohol violations, and drug violations in the cases where no arrest occurred but some action was taken.Number of IncidentsIt is not uncommon for a school to report zero incidents for any or all of these categories. In fact, 56% of the schools we cover reported no arrests for major crimes, 67% reported no violence against women, 70% reported no arrests for possession, and 68% reported no disciplinary actions.Although zero incidents of reported crime is nice, it doesn't necessarily mean that the school is safer. It could indicate lax reporting. Similarly, a high number of incidents could indicate that the school is more strict about reporting and law enforcement than other institutions.UMass Lowell Overall Crime Stats118Total Number of Incidents6.43Incidents per 1000 StudentsUniversity of Massachusetts - Lowell reported 118 safety-related incidents involving students on or near campus or at other properties affiliated with the school in 2019.
