The CareAlert Dementia Care Unit (DCU) has specifically been developed to provide non-intrusive help for residents who may need assistance when they are confused. Although primarily used during the night, the CareAlert DCU can provide 24-hour monitoring of patients without the need for constant intervention from your staff. It enables you to select a movement profile which is considered to be ‘normal’ for a particular resident.
By controlling the lighting in the bedroom and en suite WC areas, the CareAlert DCU helps guide a confused resident to the bathroom and back to bed without the need for staff to be in the room. If at any time the resident’s movements do not conform to a pre-programmed ‘normal’ behaviour pattern, an alarm is automatically raised to alert your staff through the Nurse Call system. In addition, the unit can be configured to monitor bedroom and patio doors to alert staff immediately if the resident leaves the bedroom.
Features:
- simple non-intrusive monitoring without need for your staff to attend in person
- simple to use two-button operation with clear LCD screen
- independent door monitoring
- controls bed & WC lights to guide confused resident
- resident activity recorded using CareAlert Lite Software
- fully compatible with CareAlert 600/700 Nursecall System
- on-site configurable options for specific client requirements
