The elderly care market is under pressure. Residents are living longer and requiring more care, while facilities’operating budgets are tight, putting pressure on limited staff resources.

With new smart sensor solutions and software, the teleCARE IP system can assure unobtrusive monitoring and activity alerts that expedite needed assistance and aid in preventing potentially harmful events.
