Case Study: Kāhala Nui builds a safer, keyless senior living community with Verkada

Kāhala Nui reduces investigations by 99% with Verkada

Kāhala Nui, a senior living community in Hawaiʻi, faced significant security challenges with an aging camera system and a reliance on manual keys. This outdated infrastructure created blind spots across the property, slowed down investigations, and made access management cumbersome for staff and residents. To modernize their campus and build a safer environment, they partnered with security vendor Verkada.

Verkada implemented an integrated security platform including cameras, wireless access control locks, intercoms, and AI-powered alerts. This solution provided a single, unified system for managing visibility, access, and investigations. The results were transformative: investigation times were reduced by roughly 99%, from hours to seconds, and the use of wireless locks saved an estimated $1.2 million in infrastructure costs by avoiding the need to electrify hundreds of doors. Verkada's technology also enabled faster response to incidents and provided greater peace of mind for residents and their families.
