Empire Telecom

Skilled nursing facilities

Save money. Never miss an admission.

We specialize in telecom for nursing homes and assisted living. With more than 20 years of experience, we work directly with your IT partners for a seamless onboarding: we gather your old bills, survey your wiring onsite for free, and manage old contracts, terminations and collections.

Where the money goes

A nursing home’s phone bill is never one bill.

Most facilities are paying several carriers at once: a main line contract signed years ago, analog lines for the elevator and fire panel, a fax line nobody has used since the EHR went in, and a TV agreement that renewed itself. We read all of it, together.

  • One list of every service, carrier and contract end date
  • The lines you must keep, flagged before anything is canceled
  • A number for what it should cost instead

The details

The little things that make the difference.

The details are what make the difference. You get professionally recorded auto attendant greetings and on-hold messages, and automations that matter, like a text alert when an admission fax arrives, or an automatic reach-out to callers you missed after hours. Add automatic call recording, a web chat API, and one dashboard for all your sites.

One company

What a nursing home gets from us.

EmpireUC is our own phone system, so the people who build it are the people who answer when you call. Everything around it comes from the same team and the same invoice if you want it that way.

Internet that holds

Circuits from the major carriers, put in competition on price, ordered, installed and chased by us when they break. Backup lines where a dropped call matters.

EmpireTV

Our own television service: rooms, lounges and the sports packages residents stay in for, on one bill with the rest.

eFax, greetings and the rest

Faxing without the fax line, menus and on-hold recorded properly, answering service when nobody can pick up, phones and headsets. Ours, not a hand-off.

A free bill audit, and the portal

We read every line of what you pay now, show you what it should cost, and put every building, invoice and ticket behind one login.
