RCare

WEBSTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)
October 10, 2019

RCare, Inc., maker of award-winning nurse call and monitoring solutions, will be attending the AHCA/NCAL Annual Convention & Expo next week in Orlando. This year’s theme at AHCA/NCAL is “Ready for Any Challenge” As part of their “Answer the Call” initiative, RCare will challenge communities to improve their response times.

Communities know that as response time improves, so does resident satisfaction, and resident health, safety and peace of mind. But communities can’t manage what they can’t measure, and many communities are operating in the dark when it comes to response times. Built into every RCare system are reporting and analytics tools that enable staff to track call response times, assess current status, set targets, and monitor progress. What is an acceptable amount of time for a resident to wait for help? RCare lets communities identify their own targets and goals. Reports can help identify potential problems and areas for improvement.

“This industry spends countless dollars catering to residents’ needs, wants and desires. So, what do we come up with?” said Myron Kowal, CEO of RCare. “Enhanced workout centers, bistros, golf putting greens, circadian lighting, and the list goes on. But we are not addressing the single most important thing we can do for residents. Improve call response times.”

RCare will be at Booth #1512 to talk about how their advanced nurse call systems can empower facilities to make big improvements in response times. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take photos and post them on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #RMan or #RWoman for a chance to win great prizes, including solar mobile chargers, Amazon Fire TV Sticks, and more.

At the show, RCare will also be providing exclusive sneak peeks of their most recent initiatives, including the new RCare Mobile interface with multi-app support, SafeKeeping, the new integrated engagement app that connects residents, families and clinicians, iCall, RCare’s NEW full-IP wired nurse call system, and the HCube for affordable housing.

AHCA/NCAL Annual Convention & Expo is October 14–16, 2019 at the Orange County Convention Center. Visit RCare at Booth #1512.
