Details of the CallGuard System
CallGuard enables staff to provide prompt and effective responses to residents' calls at all times. Embracing solid state electronic technology and software, CallGuard incorporates a comprehensive and flexible range of call types, priority levels, alarm handling and call indication options. All of which are configurable to best suit the needs of residents and staff.
Optional two-way speech communications between care staff and
residents ensures an effective response to calls resulting in
increased staff efficiency and care of residents.
Integrated with AUSTCO's state-of-the-art paging and telephone technologies such as wireless telephones, CallGuard allows staff to receive and respond to resident calls while moving freely around the facility thus further increasing staff efficiency.
Residents activate calls using aesthetically pleasing, unobtrusive and
yet easy to identify call points that have been designed for ease of
use by frail and aged residents, especially those with arthritis.
Call points incorporate immediate audio visual indication to assure
the resident that the call has been placed.
Alarm handling and call indication options range from simple but effective audio visual 'light and chime' systems, to modern non-intrusive alphanumeric colour displays and staff stations.
Sophisticated computerized central base stations with LCD monitor, resident database and call monitoring software can be configured by staff as requirements change.
