Communication for long-term care and senior living communities

Supporting employee safety and resident safety

Connect with an expert

Help your staff work smarter, not harder

Creating a better experience for them and the residents they serve

Staff at long-term care and senior living communities do the type of work they do because they care about residents, yet they spend a great deal of time just trying to locate each other, leaving less time for the fulfilling aspects of caregiving. Employees need to be able to collaborate efficiently and get help quickly for their own safety and that of residents.

Reach help quickly in an emergency

Safety for residents and employees at long-term care and senior living communities depends upon having fast access to help. The Smartbadge has a built-in panic button intended for emergencies and active threats. Press it to discreetly broadcast to a response group.

Response group members will see the name and location of who’s sending the broadcast.
They can hear what’s happening and communicate directly with that person if the situation allows it.
Staff can use the Smartbadge to make a straight call to 911.

Staff can call each other directly and use an earpiece or handset mode to allow more discreet conversations.
