In a typical independent living facility, each suite is equipped with a Telecom 4000 or 400 and a portable Amie pendant. At the push of a button, instant voice response is available whenever assistance is required, from anywhere in the resident’s suite. All residents can access the emergency response system from their rooms, using our wireless Amie pendants, or by pushing the alarm button in their suites.

Common areas and public washrooms are equipped with an emergency telephone. The staff carries wireless telephones, which enables them to respond to calls from anywhere in the building complex, as well as control the front door through the PBX telephone switch. Using the Telecom 4000 for resident Nursecall gives a significant competitive advantage, since each resident would be equipped with a pendant enabling them to call for help from anywhere in their suite. Their call can be programmed to go to either the reception, wireless telephones or to a commercially available pocket pager or cellular service.
