Constantly alerting staff can cause unnecessary stress while providing care to a resident. Direct alerts to handsets distract from 1 on 1 care, reduces attention and in many situations, it can be difficult to respond. Without a point of triage all calls are escalated causing additional call burden on colleagues and alarm fatigue. There would be higher noise levels in hallways disturbing residents sleep, a loss in efficiency and more people needed to monitor residents.

Yes. Falls prevention has been proven to reduce by up to 80%. As staff are alerted as soon as a resident is about to get out of bed for example, they can proactively provide assistance, which significantly reduces the number of fall incidents.

The increase in staff efficiency is a great opportunity to reduce operational costs. Instead of intermittent checks with blind spots of one or two hours, staff can now immediately respond to residents in need. Care when needed reduces routine in-room checks by up to 90%

With acoustic monitoring the system passively listens into the room during the evening and alerts on any sounds made above a set level. This means the resident gets an uninterrupted nights sleep and are less likely to get up in the night which could potentially cause a fall. They are also more fully rested when they wake up and generally healthier and happier due to this.
