Having spent the last 5 years working with various carehome groups delivering telecoms solutions. GHM have spent many hours both internally and with customers understanding the key areas that will deliver true value to carehome owners and staff alike. When all is said and done the key areas can be broken down into 5 elements (See Image below)
Staff Mobility
In today’s care home, staff mobility and the ability to be contacted on the move is becoming an important requirement.
Our wireless solution provides:
- Remote handsets – staff can be contacted anywhere in the home and make emergency calls without returning to a fixed line.
- A fully integrated nurse call system to deliver alerts direct to the remote handsets. Wallboards or beepers become a thing of the past, delivering a much calmer atmosphere within the home.
- Mobility solutions that utilise both GSM (mobile phones) and standard DECT and WIFI technology.
Integration
In today’s care home, many different applications are used on a day to day basis. We understand that if those applications are integrated effectively, care will be improved.
GHM work closely with well known providers to integrate:
- Nurse Call – alerts are sent directly to WIFI handsets throughout the home
- Accounts – to enable simple and easy billing of resident room services
- Care planning software packages and electronic medication packages
- All to open standards
Internet Access for residents – “The rise of the silver surfer”
Because our solutions utilise WiFi technology, care homes can extend unlimited internet access to residents and visitors at no extra cost. In many cases, this process can even create an additional revenue stream for care homes.
“An increasing number of residents also enjoy spending their time using the internet and associated technologies. It is important in the move towards a ‘hotel’ style of care home that offers a superior level of facilities and independence that redefines the perception of residential care for the elderly. Making sure every resident has the option to connect with the outside world is vital to achieve this”
