More than just a call button
Whether you run a care home or a hospital, expectations of care are rising. Your teams need systems that support them properly and give you clear visibility, so consistently high standards of care are achievable, not aspirational.
Many nurse call systems fall short. They generate alerts, but offer little insight, flexibility, or support for modern care environments.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Advance Care. The Advance Care Nurse Call System goes beyond basic alerts, providing a robust, modern platform that helps your team respond faster, work more effectively, and deliver a higher standard of care across your facility.
Handy buttons, instant alerts
As you would expect, the Advance Care system starts by giving your residents a way to get immediate help in an emergency, reducing response times and improving care.
You can place call buttons beside beds, in showers, or even on a wireless lanyard around the patient’s neck so that they can call for help in case of a fall, pain, or emergency. You can also set-up more discrete monitoring, for instance, be alerted when a resident gets out of bed, or link to systems like heart or oxygen monitors, to alert staff if a patient’s condition gets worse.
Call buttons are usually linked to the nurses’ station, but that’s not the only option. You can set up your system to trigger a light at the patient’s door, sound an alarm, send a message to a specific mobile phone, or all three. It’s about making sure the right people get the message, right away.
Real time location monitoring
Real-time location monitoring supports more reliable response workflows and removes unnecessary manual steps for care staff.
Using small, unobtrusive staff tags, the system can detect when a carer enters a resident’s room in response to a call or during a routine check. This enables auto presence, where the carer’s attendance is automatically logged without needing to press a call button. Calls can be acknowledged and recorded simply through presence, reducing missed actions and improving response records.
Advance Cares system has this built in ready to go.
Say goodbye to floor mats
With Advance Care’s True Sense Radar technology, you can stay on top of your resident’s movements and deliver a level of care not possible with traditional sensors such as bed and floor mats.
With high sensitivity, you can monitor falls, room presence, exits, movements in and out of bed, long dwell times in the ensuite, and wandering - all while respecting privacy with our camera-free design.
Hassle free reporting
Systems alone don’t improve performance. Without clear, reliable reporting, it’s difficult to understand response patterns, identify pressure points, or demonstrate compliance. This becomes especially important with increased scrutiny around care minutes and documented staff activity.
Advance Care’s optional Smart Report provides structured reporting on call minutes response times, and staff presence, giving you defensible data to support operational reviews and care minutes reporting requirements.
This level of reporting is built into the Advance Care platform.
