QuietCare: Helping People Stay Independent

• 24-Hours: QuietCare functions as a 24 hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week early detection system that lets caregivers and family members know that a loved one is safe. It recognizes emerging problems before they become emergencies.
  
  
• Unobtrusive: The system utilizes small, unobtrusive, strategically-placed wireless sensors in key areas such as bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and/or medication areas. The sensors are virtually invisible. No video camera or audio intrudes on our residents’ lives.
  
  
• Sharing Information: Each sensor transmits information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week about our customer's daily living activities to a book-sized base station. Any changes in one's activities are communicated to caregivers and family members via e-mail, cell phone, text message or pager, or through a password-protected web site. This helps share information between caregivers, residents and their family members.
