Reliable systems that reassure seniors

Senior living communities have a responsibility to protect and care for their residents. For facility operators, this means setting up effective systems and advertising those safety measures to prospective clients. Having a nurse call system is a strong selling point because seniors need to feel secure and their families need to know their loved ones are going to be well cared for.

The DCC Nurse Call System, exclusively from Panasonic, does a lot more than just carry alarm signals to the nursing station. It is a fully integrated communications and alarm management system with wireless resident location technology that enables caregivers to respond faster when seniors push their emergency call button. The system features automatic call escalation, ensuring that seniors receive prompt attention from a caregiver, and call logging, so that response times can be analyzed.

Knowing that every call will get through to a member of the care team is of great comfort to residents, while the DCC Nurse Call System’s built-in accountability features give peace of mind to their families.

Smart systems that improve care

The DCC Nurse Call System is designed to make senior living facilities run more smoothly and efficiently. Routing of calls is fully customizable to match the care team’s response procedure so calls always go to the right caregiver, arriving as either a text or email, according to preferences. Caregivers can easily communicate amongst themselves using portable handsets or mobile devices, as well as remotely check in with residents by calling a two-way communication station in their room. When seniors call for help from outside their room, caregivers can quickly find and assist them using the locator built into each wearable pendant.

As a result of resident location technology and improved internal communication, the care team is able to coordinate their actions and respond to each call in a more deliberate manner, which lowers stress levels and produces better outcomes for the residents. An added benefit is that skilled staff members can be more selectively assigned to tasks for which they’re best suited, helping to further increase job satisfaction. When staff members feel less pressured at work, they’re more inclined to provide friendly, personable support and build trusting relationships with the seniors under their care. All of this translates into a healthier work environment for staff and better quality of life for seniors.
