From preventing unauthorised access to monitoring vulnerable adults, nursing homes need expert security solutions.
Verkada security offers advanced technology designed specifically for healthcare environments, with a complete, integrated security suite that supports nursing homes in maintaining a safe, secure, and comfortable space for residents and staff.
Why choose Verkada for nursing homes?
You might have heard of Verkada for the industry-leading CCTV, but they offer more than just video surveillance. If you’re looking for an all-in-one security solution with a user-friendly cloud platform, Verkada ticks every box, meeting the unique needs of healthcare facilities:
1. Real-time patient monitoring
Verkada offers high-resolution video surveillance for nursing homes, enabling real-time monitoring of key areas and keeping residents safe. AI-powered tools and motion detection help staff quickly address potential threats, reducing risks like wandering or unauthorised access. With continuous visibility, nursing homes can optimise care for residents, especially those with dementia or mobility issues, with quick intervention and promotion of resident well-being.
2. Access control
Sensitive areas like medication storage or staff-only zones require tight security. With Verkada access control, you can easily restrict access to these critical spaces, providing an extra layer of protection for residents while ensuring staff accountability. This is especially crucial for keeping vulnerable individuals safe from potential harm.
By controlling access, administrators can ensure that only authorised personnel enter restricted areas, safeguarding medications, medical supplies, and other sensitive resources. This prevents misuse and minimises the risk of accidents, creating a safer environment for both residents and staff.
3. Emergency response
Accidents happen, especially in environments where elderly residents may face mobility issues or health concerns. Verkada’s panic buttons and AI-driven alert systems enable staff to respond immediately to emergencies such as falls, distress calls, or medical crises. The emergency response system alerts caregivers instantly when a patient needs help, whether due to a fall, a medical episode, or a safety concern. This is essential in nursing homes where residents may face higher risks due to their medical conditions or age-related challenges.
4. Visitor management
Visitors come and go from nursing homes, and whilst it’s important to create a welcoming environment, it’s essential to put security at the top of the priority list. Verkada’s visitor management tools screen and track guests. Monitoring visitors at entry points and maintaining a record of their arrival and departure boosts security without compromising the friendly atmosphere, and better still, it prevents any unwanted individuals from accessing sensitive or restricted areas.
5. Air quality monitoring
Important for vulnerable adults and visitors alike, a healthy indoor environment is a must. With elderly residents susceptible to respiratory issues, Verkada’s air quality monitoring system is a great solution. It can detect pollutants and harmful substances, helping to maintain a comfortable, clean, and safe living environment for elderly residents. By detecting harmful airborne particles, nursing homes can adjust ventilation, improve air purification, and create a healthier environment for everyone.
Key features of Verkada for nursing homes
Verkada is the ideal choice for nursing home security, here’s some of the standout features:
1. AI-powered search tools
Verkada’s AI-driven search tools make it easy for staff to locate people in footage quickly, such as with missing patients. With the click of a button, staff can access precise and accurate footage, allowing them to respond faster to emergencies and security concerns. Users can even review footage of a specific area at a particular time using intelligent search functionality that speeds up the investigation process. Nursing homes can act fast, minimising risks and staying compliant with safety protocols.
2. Cloud-based storage
Verkada’s cloud storage eliminates the need for on-site video maintenance, reducing costs for nursing homes. With 24/7 recording and 365-day storage, facilities stay compliant while accessing secure, easily accessible footage. With remote access, you can manage security operations off-site, protect data integrity, and support audits or investigations.
3. Remote monitoring
Verkada’s cloud platform enables remote video monitoring from any device, ensuring staff can oversee security anytime, anywhere. This flexibility enhances surveillance, allowing authorised personnel to stay in control and respond to incidents even when off-site.
4. People counting
Verkada’s people counting feature helps nursing homes track the number of people entering or exiting various areas of the facility. This data is invaluable in identifying busy periods, ensuring proper staffing levels, and maintaining an optimal security environment. It also helps improve safety by monitoring staff and visitor movement.
The ability to track foot traffic helps optimise security and staffing needs. Identifying areas with high visitor activity allows nursing homes to increase supervision during peak times, reducing the chance of incidents.
5. Audit trails for compliance
Nursing homes must adhere to strict regulatory standards, including HIPAA compliance. Verkada’s audit trail ensures nursing homes meet strict compliance standards like HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001. It provides a detailed security record, supporting transparency, liability protection, and regulatory adherence. Nursing homes can easily track activity and provide evidence for compliance, minimising risks and supporting liability protection.
