A new dementia care centre in North Wales has life-safety products from C-TEC.
Part of the Fairways Care group of homes, Ty Cariad in Abergele offers high intensity dementia care and helping residents access memories by creating imagery and artificial surroundings they can relate to, typically shops, workplaces and rooms with family photographs.
The Centre is divided into four ‘households’, which each access landscaped gardens and patios. All nursing staff carry C-TEC’s Quantec addressable call pagers to alert them if a resident or colleague requires urgent assistance.
At night, sensors are activated so that movement within the bedrooms can be discreetly monitored. If a resident leaves the bed area, a light will come on, the sensor will trigger a call and staff will be alerted via their pagers to visit. During routine room checks, however, staff can choose to disable the sensors so not to disturb patients unnecessarily.
Mark Bailey, MD of Fairways Care Ltd said: “We are committed to providing the highest standards of dementia care at Ty Cariad and are delighted with Quantec as it has been specially tailored to meet the needs of our residents and facility.”
One of C-TEC’s ZFP addressable fire panels provides fire protection, linking to staff pagers to alert them to messages from the fire system. The panel’s touch-screen display has also been customised with the Fairways Care logo to show the company brand in reception. A SigTEL disabled refuge system has also been installed.
