A Silent Nurse Call System Creates a Calm Home-like Environment without Compromising Safety
INSIDER TIP: Professional caregivers can get a leg up with a new silent alert system that informs them of residents in distress without flashing lights or alarms.
In a care facility of any kind, the attentiveness of caregivers is paramount, especially in times when a resident is distressed. The flashing lights and alarms used by a typical nurse call system can be a source of anxiety, agitation and irritation for other residents. The Vigil Integrated Care Management System simplifies care by integrating nurse call, resident check-in, and perimeter monitoring into one silent-alarm system. Vigil's goal is to provide a non-invasive, structured monitoring system to provide residents with a maximum of dignity, independence and privacy while maintaining a high level of care.
The Vigil System relies on a number of sensors that report to a centralized computerized monitoring system. Sensors placed at doors, beds, and chairs, along with guidelines provided by the facility, determine if a resident needs attention based on rules that can be flexibly adjusted to his or her particular behavior and schedule. When a possible problem arises, instead of buzzers, call bells, or flashing lights, caregivers are informed by vibrating alerts, which are directed by the system to the appropriate pager.
In addition to the services of a traditional nurse call system, Vigil also offers the Vigil Dementia System, an integrated addition to the Vigil System designed to monitor seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia who need a higher level of care. Door and smoke alarms can also be integrated into the system to create a serene living environment free of anxiety-provoking audio or visual alarms
Since it has the ability to generate reports based on accumulated data, the Vigil System is also an excellent way for caretakers to manage their schedules and predict resident needs. The Vigil Platform tracks typical usage patterns and times and can helping reduce the stress and fatigue that can accompany the tasks of a full-time caregiver by restoring peace-of-mind and the knowledge that their residents are safe.
The Vigil Integrated Care Management System
is scalable and can be tailored to any type and size of community, from large-scale independent living to small assisted living. Vigil even offers 24-hour support.
Refresher: The Vigil Integrated Care Management System can take the agitation out of alert or emergency situations without compromising resident safety.

The Power of Customer Reviews in Promoting Your Business
Gilbert Guide is in the business of bridging the gap between consumers and senior care resources. One of the most important aspects of our directory service is our customer review section. For any business, the effective—and cheapest—promotion is a client or resident relating his or her own positive experience with your company to potential customers. And it is these potential customers who are strongly influenced by the experiences of others in similar situations, especially when searching for something as personal as senior care.
So, promote your business by encouraging your clients or residents to write a review. Send them directly to your Gilbert Guide listing and remind them that the more detailed an account they write, the more it will ring true and help people searching for care. Also, keep in mind, we do have staffers who check each and every review so, please, no fibbing about who you are—as if we find a business posing as a customer, we delete their listing permanently. We want our service to help consumers—so grab some of the spotlight for yourself and tell your happy customers to write a review today!
