Stress Less with the Nurse Call System from Aid Call

Aid Call wireless nurse call systems can make life easier and more effi cient for your staff and are simple for residents to use too. The Touchsafe® Nurse Call System is attractive, functional and reliable, but robust enough to withstand the demands of the care or nursing home environment.

The Aid Call Nurse Call system includes features designed to help care homes manage staff and resources more effi ciently. The ‘Accept’ feature allows staff to see that a colleague has already accepted a call, to avoid staff doubling up and ‘Next Call Waiting’ helps staff to use their time more effi ciently.

The system also features call logging which records the staff member in attendance. This allows you to track and monitor individual staff activity and helps to provide greater clarity and accountability. The system also incorporates the most advanced two-way radio technologies featuring automatic acceptance and ‘Listen Before Talk’ anti-collision. These features are useful to maximise effi ciency and improve the overall quality of care offered to clients. With fi nancial challenges facing the care home industry, there has never been a greater need to offer more cost effective solutions. Aid Call nurse call solutions offer stress free functionality and safety coupled with the reliability and heritage you would expect.
