Step 5. Resident services engagement
We are committed to assisting residents with the transition to the no-smoking policy.
- Resident Service Coordinators will be provided with training to assist residents through this transition.
- We worked with the American Lung Association in Oregon to develop a smoking cessation program for residents to help them adjust to the new policy.
- Staff will be provided with supplementary materials to make available to residents such as a detailed list of smoking cessation community resources and supplementary pamphlets on the risks of secondhand smoke and smoking.
