State of the Art
ALZHEIMER & DEMENTIA CARE
Advanced Technology for
Improved Quality of Life
24 hours a Day . . .
We designed our facility to look and feel like home. You won't see another
special care wing like ours in Northern Ohio. We wanted a monitoring system
for our Special Care corridor that was less intrusive, more effective, one
that provided our Special Care residents a high level of privacy. Our goal
was to implement a monitoring system that would allow our Special Care
residents to maintain their privacy yet would alert caregivers to the
extraordinary attention our Special Care residents require. We found a
system that is non-intrusive and state-of-the-art. It also allows our
caregivers to provide the highest degree of personalized care, and improves
the quality of life of each resident! The system is called Vigil.
How The Vigil Integrated Care Management System Works
Vigil collects data on residents’ activities by using
censors around the suite - including motion, bed-wetting and bed-exit
sensors. The data is then directed to a central computer where a record of
all alarm activity, sensor activity and pages are recorded for further
analysis. Initially, care providers use this information to develop a unique
profile of each resident’s normal routine. They then set Vigil to allow
acceptable activity and warn of unexpected behavior. More importantly, The
INN’s caregivers can use the detailed data to design care plans to avoid
incidents altogether. This leads to a whole new level of individualized care
- such as more independence at night for some residents and timely
intervention to manage incontinence.
