In senior care communities, the use of mobile devices by caregivers can help reduce response times and improve resident care. PalMobile is a cutting-edge app that allows caregivers to connect and respond to resident alerts in real-time. The app has already been shown to reduce response time by up to 20%* [see our latest case study results], making it an invaluable tool for caregivers in senior care settings.
PalMobile is accessible on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, eliminating the need for pagers and replacing them with already familiar mobile devices. With the latest integration of Zello, an industry-leading communication technology, the app also enables voice-to-voice communication. Zello x PalMobile further reduces caregiver devices with its reliable in-app walkie-talkie capabilities to communicate with team members.
“Having such an intuitive, easy to use app with great features has made responding to resident calls quick and efficient for our staff.” – Garrett Haner, Executive Director, Ada’s Lodges and Annette’s Lodges.
Greater efficiency allows caregivers to focus their attention on the individual needs of each resident, allowing them to provide better resident outcomes. Improved response times and streamlined communication through Zello x PalMobile aides in reducing missed or delayed care opportunities for residents. For senior care communities, this translates into an overall increase in resident satisfaction and a decrease in costly medical errors.
Along with residents and the senior care communities, caregivers are also reaping the benefits from these technological advancements in the workplace. Caregivers find that having one device is far more efficient and organized than relying on multiple devices. Using one device eliminates the need to keep track of various pieces of equipment, reducing clutter and confusion in the workplace. It also eliminates the need for additional training or technology costs associated with multiple devices, thus making it easier for caregivers to stay up-to-date with the latest features that benefit their residents and day-to-day processes.
By integrating PalMobile into everyday practices, caregivers are able to increase their own productivity and improve workflows. Through the reduction of devices, PalMobile streamlines daily tasks by allowing caregivers to communicate more effectively between their peers and residents. When communities give caregivers the proper tools to succeed, the quality of life at work improves and therefore staff turnover can be reduced.
PalMobile optimizes operations in one comprehensive app to address the challenges that come with serving senior residents. The adoption of this cutting-edge tech can help senior care 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 efficient effective time spent with senior residents.
