Skilled Nursing

Healthsense technology enhances the staffs’ ability to deliver care more effectively and efficiently. The most common uses of technology in memory care or skilled nursing settings include:

• Wireless call with location tracking
• Monitors for fall prevention (bed, chair and wheel chair), incontinence sensors, smoking detection sensors and prompts for improved compliance to care plans
• Wi-Fi coverage for staff communications using VOIP phones and use of mobile devices needed for Electronic Health Record data entry (PCs, handhelds and tablet PCs)
• Network cameras for monitoring common and secure areas
• Access control solutions for elopement prevention.

The use of VOIP phones and other handhelds provide staff with the information and prompts they need, on a device with which they are familiar – without the old “alarm buzzers” that disturb residents and contribute to the reminder that one is living in a clinical environment. With Healthsense, alerts and information are now discretely routed to the specific staff member that will deliver the needed assistance, maintaining a calm environment, where resident health remains top priority without sacrifice of personal dignity.

Healthsense provides the most comprehensive and scalable solution for long-term care. Providers prefer to have one integrated solution that supports not only automation, but also their basic communications and data connectivity needs.

So often with seniors we see issues ignored until a crisis arises. This [Healthsense] helps us intervene before that happens.-- Jill Nokleby Kaiser, Ebenezer Management Services
