WALTHAM, Mass., October 17, 2017 — STANLEY Healthcare, a market leading provider of life safety and security solutions for the senior living and healthcare industry, today announced that its Arial Wireless Emergency Call solution has received certification to the UL 1069 standard for “Hospital Signaling and Nurse Call Equipment,” the recognized standard for nurse call systems in North America.
With this announcement, skilled nursing and other senior living facilities in states that mandate UL-1069-compliant nurse call systems will be able to benefit from the cost-effective wireless infrastructure and advanced features of the Arial solution while still meeting regulatory requirements.
“As the leader in safety and security solutions for senior living, we are very pleased to bring the proven wireless performance of the Arial solution to even more parts of the country,” said Greg Borecki, Vice President, Senior Living & Fall Management, STANLEY Healthcare. “Arial is a comprehensive safety and security platform for senior care, encompassing nurse call, emergency call, wander management, fire alarm integration and much more. And now it offers wireless UL 1069 nurse call functionality, making it a single platform spanning the entire spectrum of senior care, from independent living to skilled nursing.”
The new solution, known as the Arial U nurse call system, uses wireless and other advanced technologies to deliver both lower cost and innovative features that empower organizations to improve resident care. Wireless infrastructure is quicker and cheaper to install than traditional wired systems, with far less disruption to residents and staff. It also enables communities to quickly expand or modify coverage based on changing needs. And since the Arial solution supports multiple applications, senior living communities can efficiently leverage their initial investment to meet many other needs. In addition to integrating a wide range of other systems such as wander management and fire panels, the Arial solution offers an analytics dashboard for communities to benchmark and measure performance, and a mobile application for staff to see and manage events, coordinate response and document actions taken.
STANLEY Healthcare provides the most compressive range of safety and security solutions for senior living, serving over 12,000 communities worldwide. In addition to the Arial solution, STANLEY Healthcare pioneered electronic wander management with the WanderGuard® system, now in its latest generation with the innovative WanderGuard BLUE solution, which leverages IoT technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy and a mobile application for programming. In fall management, over one million STANLEY Healthcare fall monitors have been installed in healthcare facilities over the last eight years and the company continues to innovate with wireless technology and analytics. All of STANLEY Healthcare’s solutions are supported by the By Your Side customer care commitment, which combines a range of services at each stage of the customer voyage to ensure that every customer achieves success and realizes the full value of their investment.
These and other STANLEY Healthcare innovations will be on display at booth 513 at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting & Expo, October 29-November 1 in New Orleans, LA.
