InstaCare: Creating a QUIET Home
Extensive studies in dementia care show that dementia patients are extremely sensitive to their surroundings with noise a distinct contributor to high levels of stress and upset. So, creating an environment free of repetitive, high volume noise is essential in creating a calm, happy home for your dementia residents.
A University of Stirling study, found call bell noise to be one of the most common causes of stress to dementia patients, suggesting “fitting call alarms which alert nurses but don’t resonate throughout the whole building. Alarms are particularly disconcerting as they may encourage the person with dementia to respond or investigate. The loss of sleep can compromise a person’s ability to concentrate, affecting attention levels and capacity to cope. Personal paging systems are preferable to bells and buzzers.”
Louise Arnold of Peninsula Care did just that and asked InstaCare to install the BlueBell system. Louise said “the change at the home was immediate. Eliminating the intrusive ringing bells mean instead we hear music, conversations and laughter”.
So, let InstaCare Systems create a silent system in your home, without replacing your existing system! This latest technology allows your call bells to alert on your existing digital care plan mobile devices. It allows the call bell volume to be significantly reduced with only emergency calls making an audible call. Your staff will also be able to work more efficiently with the ability to see calls in the palm of their hand, accepting calls and responding only to calls that are relevant to them.
This clever new tech simply requires the installation of a nifty box that takes the call bell information of your existing nurse call and reporting this information to an equally clever app that sits on your existing mobile devices. It allows you to improve the functionality of your own nurse call, often eliminating the need to upgrade your system. The call logger and reporting allows data to be recorded about response times, number of calls, staff ID of who is responding and all of this can be recorded in a manner that works for your home. It will help you easily respond to family disputes, make adjustments to improve response times and identify increasing levels of care provision for individual residents.
And there is more! All this important data is automatically imported into the care plans, allowing access to individual data alongside the rest of their care plan. Improving person centred, individual care for your residents and allowing easy access to it all within the digital care plan.
And it could save you £1000’s! At only a quarter of the cost of the average new nurse call system, this could extend the life of your existing system whilst giving you all these new benefits at a lot less money! Give InstaCare Systems a call today to find out more and get a quote for your home.
