Keep Your Residents Connected, Safe & Entertained

Trusted by senior communities across Michigan for 14+ years. One partner for entertainment and resident safety.

Challenges We Solve

Limited Entertainment Options

Residents depend on TV as their primary connection to the world. Outdated systems with poor channel selection lead to complaints and dissatisfaction.

Security & Wandering Concerns

Unauthorized access and wandering incidents create liability and regulatory risk. You need integrated cameras, alarms, and access control.

Multiple Vendor Headaches

Managing separate vendors for TV, security cameras, and access control means finger-pointing and coordination chaos.

Our Solutions

1

DIRECTV + ASC Go Live

Premium entertainment with our proprietary live broadcasting system — broadcast bingo, exercise classes, and events to every room.

2

Integrated Security

Cameras, access control, and alarm systems designed specifically for senior living environments with wandering prevention.

3

Single-Source Partnership

One contract, one phone number, one team. We handle entertainment AND security so you can focus on resident care.

This is deployed across 7 Presbyterian Villages of Michigan communities protecting 800+ residents.
Do you offer HIPAA-compliant security for senior living?
Absolutely. All our camera and access control systems for healthcare environments include HIPAA-compliant features: encrypted storage, privacy masking zones, audit trails, and role-based access. We maintain HIPAA Business Associate compliance for all healthcare installations.
What is ASC Go Live for senior communities?
ASC Go Live is our proprietary live broadcasting system that lets senior living communities broadcast bingo, exercise classes, chapel services, and community events to every room using existing TV infrastructure — no separate streaming setup required.
How long does installation take for a senior living community?
Typical installation for a 100-room senior living community takes 5-10 business days for both DIRECTV and security systems. We work in phases to minimize disruption to residents, with most work happening during daytime hours when common areas are less occupied.
