Healthcare Project Highlight: Nurse Call System

Location: GlenBrook Skilled Nursing Center at La Costa Glen

Description: TRL Systems will supply and install an Ascom Telligence nurse call system in the 94-bed GlenBrook Skilled Nursing Center. The system, which will allow future expansion, will be comprised of a patient station and Curbell pillow speaker with an audio jack for each bed. The stations will allow two-way communication between nursing staff and residents as well as staff emergency or assist calls directly to the nurse call station. In addition to Code Blue buttons, each bed will include four auxiliary jacks to accommodate a variety of equipment to be monitored by the nurse call system and will annunciate an alarm if removed from the auxiliary plug.

All rooms will include LED dome lights above the exterior doors and all toilet compartments will be equipped with push/pull emergency cords. TRL Systems will also provide a new pocket paging system with a tie-in to the new nurse call system as well as new PCs with touch-screen interfaces at each nurse call station.
