Nurse Call Protects Residents with Automated Alerting
Unity Connected Solutions can provide SARA (Situational Awareness and Response Assistant) which is an invaluable tool for those in the lifesaving business. It not only helps prevent operational disruptions and speeds emergency response, but also provides real-time data to identify problems with your protocol that could lead to loss of life during these times when things go wrong faster than you can imagine.
Using a SARA nurse call system, means understanding what's happening around you with the information from different sources, when something happens or changes significantly (like if there was an accident). Now, SARA will give you a risk management strategy and technology framework that has the power to read, hear and see what's happening around your community, so you can do something about it. With a better understanding of the situation, your residence can improve communication and workflow. Service delivery will become more efficient with an emergency being met quickly by professionals who have been trained for just this type of situation!
Premise-based mobile duress with location data
For seniors, wearing a pendant that provides location services throughout a community can be a vital security measure. The pendant allows them to be located, in the event of an emergency. In addition, the pendant can provide peace of mind for both seniors and their loved ones, knowing that help is always close at hand. For seniors who live in an assisted living residence, the pendant can also provide peace of mind, as they can use it to call for help if they need assistance. In today's increasingly mobile world, the pendant provides seniors with the independence and security they need to live their lives to the fullest.
In some communities it is the staff that requires safety measures when certain residents become aggressive. The pendants enable the staff member to alert other staff members with the push of a button, giving their location.
In a senior’s residence, it is important to have call bells or pull cords located throughout the community. By installing call bells or pull cords throughout a community, residence staff can be quickly alerted when a senior needs assistance. It also allows for staff to be more aware of potential problems that may arise. As a result, they play an essential role in ensuring the safety and well-being of seniors living in residence communities.

Integrated Alarm Management
SARA is more than just a call bell system. It also ensures that critical data is collected, processed and analyzed so alerts can be delivered accurately. SARA provides event-triggered messages, so you'll never miss any emergency updates! It does this by integrating disparate alarm systems for centralized monitoring with detailed notifications. These are sent out through designated communication end points, like emails or text messages, when an unfolding situation arises. This enables individuals who need information about what's happening around them in real time to select groups/response teams members depending on its severity.
E-Messenger – on iPhones
SARA e-messenger desktop delivers pop-up alerts containing color-coded text and audio. Live video, pre-recorded video, and/or maps can also be included.
SARA e-messenger mobile solution includes preprogrammed dashboards that trigger the appropriate alarms and acknowledgements to indicate who ‘owns’ those alerts.
Quick Messages and Message Reminders
SARA provides management with the additional tool of quick messages and message reminders. This can communicate to your staff, things like schedule changes and announcements to specific staff members.
Automatic Mass Notification
Mass notifications are an important component to life safety. They provide a redundant way of notifying staff about events that may pose risks, such as fires or other emergencies in progress that may need an evacuation protocol, where time is critical for rescue efforts on site before seniors can be assisted.

Nurse call systems are important for seniors living in a community, to get help when they need it. It is the nurse call system that gives caregivers an inside view into the daily lives of our residents; at the same time, allowing our seniors to feel the freedom they need and want, never mind expect. There are several different nurse call system options available, so it's important to find one that best fits the community's needs. The most important factor to consider is the safety of the seniors. The nurse call system should be able to provide immediate help in case of an emergency. It is also important to consider the ease of use for both the staff and the seniors. A nurse call system that is easy to use will help to ensure that help is on the way in case of an emergency.
Caregivers in senior living want residents to feel at home, but given the liabilities and complexities, ignorance isn't an option because of a lack of information or disruptions in its flow can endanger lives. But trying to respond to alarms from multiple systems causes confusion, inefficiencies, and distractions among staff, leading to alarm fatigue and negative impacts on resident care.
Enter technology, which can help in two important ways – connection to loved ones and monitoring. In the case of senior living residences, adding technology can be an important step in helping manage the care level. Our nurse call solution can give the admin team information to allow the resident the best care possible. Without introducing in their daily activities.
Nurse call systems are a vital part of providing quality care for seniors in assisted living and retirement communities. They provide peace of mind for both the residents and their families, by allowing caregivers to quickly respond to any needs or emergencies that may arise. The importance of safety and security, in a community or home setting are key in choosing the right system to meet the needs of each resident.
At Unity Connected Solutions we aim to engineer a solution for maximum performance, minimal maintenance, and easy administration. The inputs will differ based on your environment or company's needs; but the outcome is always to help your staff ensure resident safety, by making sure alerts are delivered to those who need them most, wherever they may be happening!
