What is CARE?
The CARE system is an innovative, cost effective way for patients to call their carers for assistance, no matter where they are in the facility.
How does CARE work?
When a patient needs assistance they simply press a call button worn as a pendant, a necklace or secured alongside their bed. This action sends a signal identifying the patient to a pager worn by carers, and a wall mounted display at a supervisor station.

What does CARE do?
The call button signal alerts specific carers that a patient requires assistance. The signal is also sent to a computer that records the patient's identification, time of the call, the carer responsible and the time taken to respond. CARE software then provides comprehensive reports for management evaluation.
Additional benefits for Carers?
Carers carry a Remote Caller, and without leaving the patient, they are able to do the following:
Call other carers for assistance;
Alert nurses and doctors;
Alert reception to call 000. |
