Geriatric Care Providers

-->

QuietCare^® is a highly effective early detection/early warning system for health, homecare, residential and geriatric social service agencies that assist older persons and disabled individuals to successfully age in place. Small, unobtrusive, strategically-placed wireless sensors monitor 24 hours a day 7 days a week the Activities of Daily Living of clients/patients/residents. QuietCare establishes individualized baselines for each person and provides alerts when significant deviations in behavior occur. For example, early detection of changes in nighttime bathroom usage, sleeping patterns, or eating habits can enable care providers to intervene in a more timely way thereby avoiding crises and reducing the need for emergency intervention or hospitalizations. The following are a few examples of how some institutions are using the system:
	A capitated-rate Medicaid waiver HMO is deploying QuietCare in the homes of its at-risk enrollees. By monitoring ADLs and medication compliance it is seeking to improve their health and reduce hospitalizations and health care costs.
	A hospital system is introducing QuietCare to older residents in its community as a way of establishing ongoing (pre-need) relationships with them. When these individuals require health or home care it is anticipated they will turn to that hospital for service.
	A homecare-hospice agency has deployed the system to complement its in-home services thereby providing 24/7 safety monitoring to its clients.
	A senior citizen housing complex has improved its capacity to monitor the well-being of its elderly residents using QuietCare.
	Geriatric care managers are using QuietCare as a way of communicating to family caregivers the condition and needs of their elderly relatives.
QuietCare helps you:
	Manage residents' ADLs
	Reduce your residents' risk of falling
	Prioritize and improve care
	Increase your staff's accountability
	Enhance your risk management
	Distinguish you from competition
