Assisted Living Services Provider Improves Quality of Life for Residents Through Implementation of Wireless Locating Solution
InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform currently being installed throughout nine long-term care communities in three states
Charlotte, NC - February 2, 2009 - Intelligent InSites, Inc., announced today that North Carolina-based assisted living operator Resources for Senior Living (RSL), has chosen the InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform as its wireless nurse call and resident care solution. The system ensures the safety and promotes the independence of each resident by utilizing information received through wireless pendants worn by staff and residents. Whenever assistance is needed, the resident simply presses a button on the pendant which alerts the staff and notifies them of the resident’s current location anywhere in the community. The system will be implemented into the company’s three assisted living residences known as The Laurels and their six memory care residences known as The Haven.
“Our staff is excited about using the InSites solution,” said RSL President Mari Jo Grace. “Not only will it benefit our residents, but it will also help our staff be more efficient. Our residents’ families appreciate the heightened level of care and independence their loved one enjoys and staff like that it makes their job easier.”
Other communities that have implemented the InSites Platform have already realized a 25% gain in staff productivity, an equivalent of two hours for every employee shift.
“We looked at multiple nurse call systems before making our decision, and unanimously decided to select the InSites solution. It simply gives us the best way to make sure we are delivering superior care for our residents, and goes well beyond what anything else on the market could provide. The platform approach provided us with an affordable means of meeting our immediate need of efficiently replacing a failing nurse call system, while giving us benefits we didn’t know were possible, such as automated alerts based on a resident’s inactivity or measuring the amount of time our staff actually spends with each resident. Technologies like this are desperately needed in healthcare,” added Grace.
“We are pleased to be able to work with Resources for Senior Living to help them fulfill their goal of offering the best care possible to their communities,” said Mark Rheault, President and CEO of Intelligent InSites. “We feel fortunate to have a hand in profoundly improving the lives of RSL’s staff and residents.”
