For Skilled Nursing & Assisted Living
Protect residents. Reduce liability.
Security in long-term care isn't about active-shooter drills. It's about the everyday exposures that create real liability — and whether every incident is documented well enough to hold up to a surveyor, an insurer, or an attorney.
The Reality
The threats are quieter — and the liability is constant.
In a skilled nursing or assisted living facility, the threats are quieter but constant: a resident who elopes, a visitor who shouldn't be there, an aggressive family member, a staff-safety incident at 2 a.m. Each one carries real liability — and in a survey, an insurance claim, or a lawsuit, the difference between a defensible position and an expensive one is documentation.
Most facilities manage security informally, on clipboards and shift memory. When something happens, they can't always prove what occurred, when, or who responded. That gap is where avoidable liability lives — and it's exactly what we close.
Our Approach
Two Layers. One Program.
The Soft Layer — Assess & Document
- A facility exposure and elopement-risk assessment
- Access control and visitor-management review
- Incident-documentation gap analysis
- Staff readiness and de-escalation training
- The Custos platform — surveyor-ready and insurer-ready records, every shift and incident timestamped
The Hard Layer — Protect & Respond
- Licensed, insured facility officers
- Visitor screening with watchlist checks
- De-escalation and workplace-violence trained
- Every shift and every incident documented in real time
- Live visibility for administration — the answer is there before the question is asked
