Case Study: The Kearney Center achieves safer, more efficient operations with Verkada

Empowering Care and Safety The Kearney Center’s Success with Verkada Solutions

The Kearney Center, a 24-hour emergency center in Florida’s Big Bend region, needed a more reliable way to protect its vulnerable residents and staff. Its outdated security system had limited camera coverage, only three days of footage retention, and unreliable monitoring for incidents, theft, and liability claims. The center turned to Verkada for an integrated platform including cameras, access control, intercom, alarms, and air quality sensors.

With Verkada, The Kearney Center gained clear, facility-wide video, remote access management, and dependable intercom communication for late-night arrivals and emergencies. The results were immediate and measurable: monthly maintenance fees of $400 and service visits costing up to $500 were eliminated, theft incidents dropped by 92%, and a false injury claim was quickly disproven within two weeks of installation. Verkada also improved accountability, safety, and peace of mind for both staff and clients.
