Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Easy to find, easy to press - Cords in bathrooms - Lamp over the door - Answer by voice ## The problem on the ward Families choose a nursing home on one question: if my mother needs help in the night, will someone come? A resident who is frail, unsteady or confused may not find a button, or may not know which one to press. The home's answer has to be simple: a button at the bed, a cord in the bathroom, large keys for those who need them and a lamp over the door so carers know where to go. Some IP systems, including Fanvil's, add a big-button phone with a help key and Braille keys for residents who need them. **Easy to find, easy to press**: Large buttons within reach of the bed and the chair. **Cords in bathrooms**: Reachable from the toilet and from the floor. **Lamp over the door**: Carers see which room called. **Answer by voice**: Carers can reassure a resident while on the way. ## How a call travels through the ward How a call travels through the ward Resident presses helpBed button, pendant, big-button phone or cord Call reaches the carers' stationWith the room attached Lamp over the doorLit so carers see it Carer answersBy voice where the system allows Carer attendsKnowing which room and why ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Who the resident is | Mobility, eyesight and hearing decide the button | | Large or big-button devices | For residents who struggle with small buttons | | Bathrooms | Pull cord at the toilet and shower, wet-area rated | | Carers' stations | Where carers sit, including the night desk | | Family contacts | Some devices can store the numbers residents call most | | Weekly test | Press every button and log it | ## How we set it up 1. **Meet the manager**: How many residents, rooms and carers per shift. 2. **Choose the devices**: Button, phone and cord for each room. 3. **Cable and power**: To every position. 4. **Fit and test**: Every button, every lamp. 5. **Train the carers**: Answering and testing. 6. **Review after a month**: Adjust with the manager. ## What we supply We design, supply and install nurse call systems for wards, clinics and care homes, on IP and SIP networks. Fanvil's IP nurse call range is one option we quote, alongside others, and we recommend whichever fits your ward. Send us the room count and we reply with a written quote. ## How to put it to the hospital or care home Pitch to the home's owner or manager: families want to know a resident can call and be answered. Show the lamp over the door and the cord in the bathroom, and quote a call point for every bed and every bathroom. State clearly that the system supports carers and does not replace care rounds. **Tip**: Installers and resellers: ask for a trade quote and we deliver the whole list to your site in one trip. ## Get a free survey and quote **When to call a professional**: Tell us about your ward or care home: how many beds, rooms and bathrooms, and where the nurses' station is.
