Family members who must place a loved one an assisted living facility should have the peace of mind of knowing that their relative is safe. Unfortunately, acts of theft and violence can occur if security is lax. That’s where a strong assisted living security guard staff can make the difference.

Basic Safety. There are more than 28,000 assisted living facilities in the U.S. An easily accessible alert system to summon help, safety handrails in bathrooms and public hallways, properly managed medication administration and staff monitoring of the individual’s general well-being are a must, as well as properly lit hallways, well maintained flooring and furniture (to avoid falls and injury) and clean living spaces.

Video Security. A common security concern in an assisted living facility is elderly residents leaving the premises without supervision or employees noticing. Maintain a 24-hour video surveillance of all common areas to alert security guard staff of not only intruders but also residents who try to leave.

Guest Check-in At Entry. Require all guests to check in at the front desk and show photo i.d. This helps prevent entry by those who should not be on the premises and to thwart theft.

Around the Clock Security Guards. A surprisingly large number of resident-on-resident and resident-on- staff assaults occur at assisted living facilities. Assisted living facility security guards patrol the halls, watching and listening for disturbances. They can quickly come to the aid of those in distress and restrain those who are attempting to do harm to others or to themselves.
