Fall Assistance
Resident falls are one of the most common, costly, and harmful health events across settings of care. Falls most often occur when residents are mobile in their rooms without ability to communicate to caregivers.
CareCenter wearable’s push button alert system is an essential tool for ensuring residents receive immediate care when at risk of a fall or an incident has occurred. CareCenter helps mitigate:
- Inability for resident that is at risk or has fallen to immediately alert staff
- Failure of staff to provide resident safety and care due to absence of situational awareness
- Risk resulting in fall due to delayed response
- Increased health risks due to delayed response to fall
- Potential hospitalizations and liability due to resident fall
Wander Management
It’s critical to keep a watchful eye on residents at risk for wandering or elopement without effecting their independence or dignity.
CareCenter provides 24/7 real-time visibility of each resident’s location and movement, whether in or out of doors at your facility. This enables your staff to attend to residents in real-time ensuring their safety. CareCenter helps mitigate possible Wander or Elopement by:
- Alerting staff when specific residents approach possible exit points or unauthorized locations
- Alerting staff when specific doors or windows are opened
- Enabling real time location of residents that are currently wandering
- Reducing wasted time spent searching for wanderers
- Reducing the need of in-person checks on status of known wanderers
- Ensuring possible wanderers are in safe locations

Emergency Alert
When serious, unexpected, and dangerous situations strike, immediate response can mean the difference between life and death. Many factors such as responder’s proximity, unawareness of the event, and staff shortages can delay response time.
CareCenter ensures safety and health by providing 24/7 real-time facility-wide connectivity and visibility of each resident and staff member. CareCenter helps by:
- Enabling residents to immediately alert staff that help is needed with room location included
- Reducing safety risks due to delays in staff awareness of resident requiring assistance
- Reducing wasted time spent searching for resident using real time location - RTLS
- Reducing health and safety risks due to lengthy response times
Contact Tracing
Traditional methods of retroactively tracing where and whom an infected resident has come in contact with is a time-consuming and inaccurate processes.
CareCenter is an essential tool for all Senior Living Centers to ensure quick containment to avoid outbreaks. CareCenter helps by:
- Immediately alerting staff if a quarantined resident comes into contact with another resident or staff member
- Significantly reducing time spent manually retracing infected resident’s possible contacts – a detailed report can be generated in minutes
- Quickly enabling quarantine protocols for specific individuals
- Assisting staff to effectively contain possible spread of infection
- Automatically recording locations, dates and times of contacts for compliance reporting
Care Attendance
The amount of care for each resident varies depending on individual needs. With historical staffing shortages, caregivers are spread thin and struggling with providing required levels of care.
CareCenter provides caregivers the critical tools and communications necessary for ensuring each resident receives the expected level of care in a timely manner. CareCenter helps by:
- Enabling the residents to alert staff at any time that assistance is needed
- Reducing caregiver response times – seconds rather than minutes or hours
- Enabling adequate time and attention given to each resident
- Enabling the balancing of distribution of resident care across caregiver teams – Alerts for assistance go to the staff team, and a team member can claim the alert letting other staff members know that the resident will be taken care of
- Enabling Management Team understanding of staff member responsiveness

Predictive Care
Managing potential health and behavior challenges using traditional monitoring methods such as manual checks or compilation of records is far from effective in ensuring resident safety.
CareCenter automatically collects data about resident’s health, routines, and behaviors. With predictive analytics, current and historical data is used to make informed decisions to mitigate or in some cases avoid the consequences of events. CareCenter helps mitigate:
- Safety incidents and behavioral health consequences – is the resident attending meals regularly? Are they wandering into unauthorized locations?
- Missing the early signs and symptoms of sickness – has the resident stayed in their room when they are normally up and about?
- Uninformed healthcare and safety decision-making – location data, movement history, and contact tracing can all be used for advanced analytics
- Poor quality standards and staff performance – which staff members are most responsive?

Activity Participation
Participation in various Senior Living Center activities and events offers residents cognitive and social stimulation and can help lessen feelings of isolation and depression. Manually tracking each resident’s daily participation can bean extremely time-consuming process that is prone to error.
Automating the process to track the frequency and types of activity participation can ensure the well-being of each resident. CareCenter helps mitigate:
- Unawareness of changes in participation and behavior patterns that could signify cause for concern
- Lack of access and follow through on resident’s activity preferences, restrictions, and requirements
- Consequential injuries and other health related issues due to participation
Safety Evacuation
Most all residents in Senior Living Centers will require some level of assistance with evacuation. Whether fire, flood, earthquake, or impending hurricane, having a plan of action for safe evacuation is critical.
CareCenter helps ensure 24/7 visibility to each resident within or outside Senior Living Centers. This information is crucial in order to locate each resident to bring them to safety. CareCenter helps mitigate:
- Inability to prioritize resident evacuation according to location, mobility, health, and behavior to cooperate
- Danger to residents that are lost or hiding
- Lack of accurate counts and specific resident information at assembly areas
- Failure to comply with safety regulations and reporting
- Loss of resident tracking data
