Security and IT infrastructure for NH senior living communities that must protect residents, support families, and comply with care regulations.
Assisted living, independent living, and memory care facilities in New Hampshire have security requirements that other buildings do not. Resident safety, wander prevention, family peace of mind, medication security, and 24/7 staff communication are essential. We have been installing senior living security and IT infrastructure in NH since 1985.
The Senior Living Difference
A senior community is not an office building.
Senior living facilities face security and IT challenges that do not exist in typical commercial buildings. Residents require freedom of movement within safe boundaries. Memory-care units need elopement prevention without creating a restrictive environment. Medication rooms demand dual-authentication access control with full audit trails. Families expect transparency about safety measures. And when a resident needs help at 2 AM, staff must respond immediately — not after navigating a complex phone tree.
We understand these constraints because we have installed systems in senior living communities across New Hampshire. Our technicians know the difference between a corridor camera that monitors safety and one that invades privacy. Our engineers design access control that protects memory-care residents while preserving their dignity. And our support team answers the phone 24/7 because senior living communities never close.
Regulations We Design Around
- CMS Conditions of Participation for emergency communication and resident safety
- New Hampshire state fire codes for door locking and egress in care facilities
- HIPAA technical safeguards for resident health data and family communications
- State pharmacy board requirements for controlled medication storage
- ADA compliance for entry systems, audible alerts, and visual notifications
- NFPA 72 integration between fire alarm, access control, and mass notification

Where security matters most in your community.
Independent & Assisted Living
Key fob entry gives residents freedom while restricting unauthorized access. Cameras cover lobbies, dining areas, and hallways without intruding on private apartments. Intercoms let residents request assistance, and staff receive immediate alerts through the phone system.
Memory Care & Wander Prevention
Access control doors with egress delay prevent elopement while allowing supervised exit. Cameras monitor common areas for resident safety. Staff badges track who entered restricted care zones, and every event is logged for family and regulatory review.
Medication & Supply Rooms
Dual-authentication access control protects medication storage per state pharmacy board requirements. Cameras document every entry. Intrusion detection covers after-hours with direct central station dispatch. Full audit trails for inspectors and families.
Visitor & Family Access
Video intercoms verify visitors before granting lobby access. Temporary badges for family members and hospice staff with time-limited permissions. Parking cameras capture license plates for after-hours visitor safety. All access events are logged and reviewable.
Case Study
Manchester-area senior living campus: integrated security and communication upgrade.
The Problem
A 120-bed senior living campus with independent living, assisted living, and memory-care wings was operating with outdated key-only entry, no visitor logging, and a phone system that could not route resident calls to the correct nursing station. Families were concerned about security, and staff spent excessive time manually logging visitor access.
The Solution
Arcomm installed video intercoms at the main entrance and each wing, 24 IP cameras covering common areas and entrances with privacy masking for resident rooms, and key fob access control with time-based permissions for staff and family visitors. We also replaced the phone system with VoIP that routes resident calls to the correct station and provides after-hours forwarding to on-call caregivers.
The Result
Visitor management is now automated — families check in at the intercom and receive temporary badges that expire at the end of the day. Staff receive instant alerts for memory-care door events. Resident call routing ensures no request goes unanswered. The campus passed its annual state inspection with zero findings related to security or communication systems.
