PalCare is excited to announce the launch of their mobile app, PalMobile, on Android. Deploying a comprehensive solution for emergency alerts and resident management has never been easier with access to PalMobile now on all smart mobile devices.
Accessible on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, PalMobile eliminates the need for pagers and turns the already familiar mobile device into a real-time alert and response system. The app is designed with user-friendly functionality in mind to reduce time spent training caregivers on response workflows. Its 4-step process ensures resident needs can be met quickly to ultimately improve the overall quality of care.
- Receive: Caregivers are alerted that a resident needs assistance or help based on their floors or units.
- Accept: Available caregiver accepts the alert and indicates they are en-route to the resident.
- Clear: Caregiver arrives at the resident’s room and clears the device to signal care is in progress.
- Finish: Caregiver completes care and leaves the resident to signal care is complete.
The iOS usage of the app has already been shown to reduce response times by up to 20%* [see our latest case study results], making it an invaluable tool for caregivers in senior living settings. Now that PalMobile is accessible on both iOS and Android devices, even more senior living communities can benefit from its features – further improving response times and increasing levels of care for residents across communities.
Not only will the expansion of the app further improve care, but also improve the day-to-day of caregivers. PalMobile helps streamline daily tasks by allowing caregivers to communicate more effectively between their peers through its integration with Zello. Moreover; caregivers can increase their own productivity and by eliminating the need to manage multiple devices and response workflows. As staffing shortages due to high employee turnover continue to increase in the senior living sector, it is imperative that organizations focus on employee retention. When communities give caregivers the proper tools to succeed, the quality of life at work improves and therefore staff burnout can be reduced.
The adoption and expansion of this cutting-edge tech onto Android will help senior living communities ensure their residents are receiving the best possible care while reducing inefficiencies in the workforce. Quicker response times result in less time for escalation of symptoms and complications; allowing for more effective time spent with senior residents.
