Residential care center Hof ter Waarbeek chooses an innovative call system
Hof ter Waarbeek recently opted to implement the LynX ecosystem, resulting in a remarkable improvement in the care experience. The introduction of an innovative call system, enhanced lighting, and other advanced features — such as wandering detection and alarm visualization via lighting — has enriched the quality of care for residents while reducing the workload for care staff.
Guidance through lighting
One of the most striking innovations in the care center is alarm visualization via lighting. By using colors in the lighting, caregivers can quickly and intuitively see where an alarm is triggered. This enables them to respond immediately and ensure the safety of residents.
Moreover, the new lighting system is specially designed to promote the well-being of residents. By creating the right atmosphere and adjusting light levels at different times of the day, residents are encouraged to maintain a natural day-night rhythm. This has a positive effect on their sleep, mood, and overall health.
Wandering detection
Safety is also a priority in the secured ward, thanks to the implementation of wandering detection. Residents who exhibit wandering behavior wear a wristband that detects when they leave a safe zone. This system is tailored to the individual needs of residents and allows caregivers to intervene at the right moment.
According to director Frank De Corte: “Collaborating in the future is a no-brainer.”
