Our pendant has "fall detection" built into it so if it senses that someone could have lost their balance it will automatically send an alert to our care staff to have them go check on that resident, and this occurs even when the pendant has not been activated by pushing for help.

Life Bio then contacts the families to collect photos and they then create a beautiful journal for the family to keep and they give us a snapshot for our staff to learn more about each resident. These snapshots help us to get to know our MC residents on another level where we can connect while talking about their past and happy memories.
