Inovonics Announces New Advanced Location Solution for Senior Living Resident Monitoring

Inovonics, Westminster, Colo., has launched its latest innovation in resident monitoring technology: Advanced Location.

The Advanced Location solution alerts staff when a resident needs assistance, relaying the wearer’s location with accuracy. Using sophisticated cloud-based technology, it also monitors pendants throughout the community in near real time, allowing staff to locate residents quickly anytime.

The Quantum system by JNL Technologies is now fully integrated with this solution, as well as the existing Inovonics fall-detection solution.

“The ability to locate a resident for medication administration and other time-sensitive needs when they’re not in their room will save caregivers time,” said Meagan Seale, executive director at Our Lady of the Valley.

Secure Toilet Designed for Safety, Independence

Bemis Manufacturing Company, Sheboygan Falls, Wisc., a bidet and toilet seat manufacturer, has announced the Assist premium standard height toilet seat that provides independence and safety in the bathroom for people with physical challenges. The sleek-looking Assist is part of the Bemis Independence line and has built-in support arms that replace the need for mounted brackets near the toilet in a residential home.

Every year, 36 million adults fall in bathrooms due to slippery and wet floors, loose bathmats, inadequate lighting, or the lack of proper support. Wall-mounted rails near the toilet may be helpful, but they can’t be counted on to provide the ergonomically correct hand placement that helps with sitting and standing.

Unlike traditional bathroom aids, the Assist doesn’t compromise on the bathroom’s aesthetics. It is designed to blend seamlessly with any decor and features sleek lines, ensuring that safety and style go hand in hand.
