Protect residents, staff, and visitors with purpose-built security systems designed for nursing homes, retirement villages, and residential care facilities across Adelaide.
Aged care facilities face unique security risks that require careful, sensitive solutions. Resident safety must be balanced with dignity and comfort.
Dementia and cognitive decline can lead residents to leave the facility unsupervised, creating serious safety risks, particularly at night or in extreme Adelaide heat.
Care workers face risks from aggressive behaviours associated with dementia. Duress alarm systems provide immediate assistance when staff need help.
Controlling who enters and exits the facility protects residents from intruders and prevents unsupervised removal of vulnerable individuals.
Controlled substances and medication stores require monitored access. CCTV and access logs provide an auditable trail for compliance inspections.
Falls, altercations, and complaints require clear evidence. Timestamped CCTV footage helps resolve disputes and supports quality improvement processes.
The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission requires facilities to demonstrate effective risk management. Security systems support Standards 4 and 8 compliance.
We design security systems that protect without creating an institutional atmosphere. Cameras are positioned discreetly, access control integrates smoothly into daily routines, and alarms operate without distressing residents.
Cameras are never placed in bedrooms, bathrooms, or private living areas. We work within the Aged Care Quality Standards and the SA Surveillance Devices Act to ensure your system respects resident dignity while maintaining safety.
Our systems produce clear signage, documented camera maps, and access permission records for your compliance audits.
