Carecom advanced care assist system
– created for people, not buildings
Tunstall Carecom takes a completely new approach to
nurse call systems for residential and nursing care homes.
Carecom technology
improves the quality of
care for everyone.
Balancing safety with quality care provision, and
ever-increasing reporting requirements has never
been more challenging and was acutely exacerbated
by COVID-19.
Care home monitoring systems play an important role
in resident safety, but traditional emergency nurse call
systems, with nurse call buttons, are designed around
buildings, rather than people. Alarm sounding
throughout the home causes disturbance and stress
for residents, staff and visiting family.
Person-centred care.
Installed wireless and digital technology enables care
to be delivered where and when it is needed most.
Receivers and beacons are placed around the building,
which interact with smart pendants worn by residents,
enabling the system to pinpoint their exact location.
Caregivers are able to manage the system on a
number of devices, including a mobile app, and are not
just alerted to events, but also the nature of the event
(e.g. fall, seizure, exit from a room or property), who
needs assistance and their location.
Individual monitoring, with discrete care team notifications.
Tunstall Carecom personalised systems ensure resident
safety with minimal disruption to others, respecting
individual dignity while improving management insights,
workfow effciencies, staff morale and quality of care.
“We saw a reduction from 500 general
alarms, to 50 targeted alarms per shift”

PARK VIEW NURSING HOME, HALIFAX
Infection control capabilities.
Carecom can also be configured to enable the delivery
of care in ‘bubbles’, supporting infection control. This
functionality can also be used to drive efficiencies by
creating practical zones in a care home building
according to differing care requirements and layout.
