Industry · Nursing homes & senior care
Nursing home security from the contractor Illinois care facilities have trusted for four decades
Since 1982, ASI has designed, installed, and monitored security, fire alarm, and life-safety systems for nursing homes, assisted living, and senior care facilities across Illinois — protecting residents, staff, and your license.
Complete protection for care facilities
One contractor, one point of accountability — every system a licensed care facility needs, designed and installed by ASI’s own licensed technicians.
1
Door monitoring & delayed egress
Monitored exits and delayed-egress hardware that help prevent resident elopement while meeting fire code.
2
Fire alarm & life safety
UL-Listed, NFPA 72-compliant fire detection and notification — the system state surveyors scrutinize most.
3
Video surveillance
Camera coverage of entrances, common areas, and parking for resident safety and incident documentation.
4
Access control
Credentialed access for entrances, memory care units, medication rooms, and staff-only areas with full audit trails.
5
Intrusion alarms
After-hours protection for offices, pharmacy and medication storage, and business areas.
6
Environmental monitoring
Temperature, water leak, and power-loss detection for medication refrigeration and critical equipment — monitored 24/7.
Compliance & standards
Built for the standards care facilities answer to
Licensed care facilities answer to more than a fire marshal — IDPH licensing rules, Life Safety Code expectations, and CMS surveys all demand security and fire systems that are documented, tested, and defensible. A system that merely "works" isn’t enough when your license depends on the paperwork behind it.
After four decades of installations in Illinois’ most demanding facilities, ASI designs systems that pass survey the first time.
Life Safety Code standards
Fire alarm and egress systems designed to NFPA 72 and the life-safety requirements of licensed care facilities.
IDPH & CMS survey readiness
Test records and system documentation organized and ready for state and federal surveys.
AHJ coordination
Permits, inspections, testing, and certification handled with your local authority having jurisdiction.
Scheduled testing & inspection
Ongoing fire alarm testing and inspection with records your administrator can produce on demand.

Yes. We perform scheduled fire alarm testing and inspection and provide organized documentation your administrator can hand to IDPH or CMS surveyors.
Can you secure memory care units?
Yes. Delayed-egress door hardware, monitored exits, and credentialed access control help prevent elopement while staying within fire code requirements.
Can you monitor medication refrigeration and critical equipment?
