Ensuring that residents and staff can communicate is a fundamental need in the assisted living/long-term care setting. With the traditional low staff-to-resident ratio, it’s vital that residents can quickly contact a staff person in the event of an accident or emergency. It’s just as important that your staff know the location of the resident.

Nearing adoption, the new UL 2560 Standard requires assisted living facilities to install nurse call (hard-wired) or emergency call (wireless) systems, or a combination of both. SimplexGrinnell can prepare you to meet this requirement with state-of-the art communications technologies ideally suited for your facility’s needs and budget.

A major lifestyle issue for resident satisfaction is freedom of movement. Individual duress pendants alert staff to a resident’s location anywhere on the property. In addition to the screen at the master console, the location and resident ID can appear on staff’s wireless phones or pagers. The same is true if a resident or visitor touches a room or hallway button to summon help.    

Management Report tools let you easily document events and response times to improve performance and better manage risk.   

With our advanced safety-based communications, you give prospective residents and their families added assurance that assists them in selecting your facility.
