Resident Voice Communication

 


 

CarePoint Voice Response Communicator

Based on Lifeline’s proven, senior-designed home communicators, the CarePoint Voice Response Communicator sets a new community voice response standard for resident safety and assessment. In the event of a resident alert, staff can dial the resident's room from any telephone and the unit will automatically answer the incoming call. Powerful speakerphone and high-gain microphone technology allows the caregiver to communicate with the resident from most anywhere in their apartment. Staff can then assess the situation, comfort the resident, and follow community response protocol accordingly. The CarePoint Voice Response Communicator can help to improve alert call response time, and improve operational efficiency.

Controlled Access and Wander Management

 


 

Enhanced Protection For Your Vulnerable Residents

The CarePoint resident safety system offers fully-integrated controlled access functionality, as well as wander management capability for those with cognitive impairment. Schedule the accessibility of community doors and selectively restrict access on a by-resident basis, all from a centralized monitoring station. Know what doors were accessed when, and have the peace of mind that certain doors cannot be accessed by residents or even staff when they shouldn’t be. Wander management is simple as well. Through complete integration, CarePoint leverages patented RoamAlert® technology. This allows resident access right prescription based on their level of cognitive ability or degree of memory loss. Wandering residents wear the smallest electronic ID “tag” in the industry, and each access event is logged and can be added to management reports. Read the PDF below for more information.
