Nurse call systems can provide residents with assistance in a moments notice Aid Call systems can provide paging, staff attack alerts, telecare support, security monitoring. This is in order to accommodate the varying needs of residents in modern care establishments, to reduce response times to emergency calls & to provide more information to staff so those calls are dealt with more efficiently.
