Generators for Nursing Homes & Healthcare Facilities
Code-compliant emergency power systems that meet CMS requirements and protect your most vulnerable patients — installed and maintained by certified technicians.
Compliance Isn't Optional
CMS Emergency Preparedness Rules (42 CFR §483.73) require skilled nursing facilities to maintain emergency power capable of sustaining operations during prolonged outages. NFPA 110 mandates specific testing schedules, transfer times, and fuel storage requirements. Non-compliance can result in citations, fines, and loss of Medicare and Medicaid certification.
Beyond compliance, your residents' lives depend on uninterrupted power. Ventilators, suction machines, IV pumps, and oxygen delivery systems cannot tolerate even brief interruptions. A code-compliant generator with proper automatic transfer isn't just a regulatory checkbox — it's life safety infrastructure.
We build systems that pass every inspection and protect every patient.

Critical Systems That Require Backup Power
A nursing home power outage isn't an inconvenience — it's a life-safety emergency. These systems cannot tolerate interruption.

What Size Generator Does a Nursing Home Need?
Most Oklahoma skilled nursing facilities require between 100kW and 300kW depending on bed count, critical equipment, and facility size. Smaller memory care or assisted living units typically fall in the 48–100kW range. We perform a comprehensive load analysis — at no cost — to determine the exact size your facility requires.
48–100 kW
Memory Care / Assisted Living
Smaller facilities with 20–50 residents. Covers life-safety loads and essential patient care systems.
100–200 kW
Mid-Size Skilled Nursing
Facilities with 50–120 beds. Full facility backup including HVAC, kitchen, and all medical equipment.
200–300+ kW
Large Nursing / Healthcare Campus
Large facilities or campuses with 120+ beds. May require multiple generators or paralleling systems.
Sizing depends on critical load calculations, not estimates. We use actual equipment amperage draws — not square footage rules of thumb — to ensure CMS and NFPA 110 compliance.
