Continuing care sites require efficient systems to ensure resident safety, streamline operations, and improve the quality of care. The foundation has identified several key issues that necessitate digital solutions: 1.1 Call Bell System with Integrated Fall Detection: A core concern for residents is the ability to call for assistance when needed. The current system lacks the sophistication required to adjust to the dynamic staffing model in continuing care, creating inefficiencies in response times. 1.2 Lost Resident Belongings Tracking: Misplacement of essential personal items, such as hearing aids, eyeglasses, and laundry, is a persistent challenge within the facility. These incidents cause distress among residents and staff and lead to increased operational inefficiencies. 1.3 Seasonal Lighting System: Many residents experience disruptions in their sleep cycles and mood changes due to insufficient natural light. This issue is compounded by the architectural limitations of the facility, which restrict the amount of daylight reaching certain areas. 1.4 Visitor Wayfinding System: Visitors often struggle to navigate the facility, frequently asking for directions and experiencing confusion about their intended destinations. This leads to inefficiencies in staff time and impacts the overall visitor experience.
