Life safety in care settings

Life safety in a building where people live, sleep and need help to leave

A senior living community is not an office that empties at 5pm. Residents are home at 3am, some cannot hear a horn or move quickly, and memory care doors must stay secure without trapping anyone in a fire. Every system in the building has to work with that reality, and with your staff, your surveyors and the families who trust you.

That is the work we do every day. Alarm Masters designs, installs, monitors and services the fire and security systems senior living operators depend on, and we work around residents, mealtimes and shift changes so your operation never has to stop for us.

Our solutions

Every life-safety system in your community, under one partner

Survey readiness

Survey-ready fire and life-safety systems

Senior living fire systems are held to a higher standard than most commercial buildings. Skilled nursing communities answer to the federal Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) through CMS surveys, assisted living communities are licensed and surveyed by Texas Health and Human Services, and your local fire marshal inspects them all. We keep your fire alarm, monitoring and records in line with all three.

  • Written inspection reports and deficiency tracking you can hand straight to a surveyor

  • Monitoring connection checks and cellular communicator upgrades before phone lines fail
  • Fast repair of any deficiency, backed by our 48-hour guaranteed turnaround
Resident-first design

Built around residents, staff and families

Memory care that stays secure without trapping anyone

Residents living with dementia need doors that stay closed to them, while staff, visitors and first responders move freely. We set up keypad, card and mobile credentials on memory care entrances, door alarms that alert staff the moment a secured door opens, and fail-safe hardware that unlocks when the fire alarm activates. The result is a unit that is both secure and code compliant. We can also tie in a wander management system so staff are alerted when a resident approaches an exit.

Alarms that reach every resident

Not every resident hears a horn. Strobes in sleeping rooms and common areas, voice evacuation in larger buildings and clear PA zoning mean an alarm reaches people who are hard of hearing, asleep or in a different wing, and staff know exactly where to go.

One partner for every building you run

Operators with several communities can standardise fire, monitoring, video, access control and PA under one partner. You get one contact, consistent systems at every site, one inspection calendar and simpler planning. We scope to your timeline and priorities, including phased upgrades across a portfolio.

Questions from operators

Senior living fire and security questions

Still have a question? Call 281-933-3900.

Do assisted living facilities in Texas need a monitored fire alarm system?

Most licensed assisted living and nursing facilities need a fire alarm system that meets the Life Safety Code and is monitored so the fire department is notified automatically. The exact requirement depends on your license type and building size, and we can walk your community and confirm what applies.

How often should a senior living fire alarm be inspected?

Fire alarm systems are inspected and tested to NFPA 72, with most devices checked at least annually and some items more often. We set up the full schedule for you and keep the reports ready for surveys and fire marshal visits.

How do you keep memory care doors secure and still meet fire code?

We use access control and door hardware that keep secured doors locked during normal operation and release automatically when the fire alarm activates, so residents stay safe day to day and can still evacuate in an emergency.

Can you service the systems our community already has?

Yes. We can take over monitoring and maintenance of the fire alarm, cameras, access control and door alarms already in your community, test them ahead of your next survey, and only recommend replacing equipment that can no longer pass.

Can you replace the phone lines on our fire alarm panel?

Yes. We install cellular communicators that send alarm signals without a landline, which removes a common point of failure and keeps your monitoring connection independent of phone line outages.

We run several communities. Can you handle all of them?

Yes. We standardise systems, monitoring and inspections across multiple sites so you have one partner, one point of contact and one inspection calendar.
