Testimonials

 

"When you think of Hoovers you think of Dyson. When you think of sensors SensorCare."
Frank Williams - Medical Devices Manager, Scarborough Hospital



George Elliot Hospital NHS Trust Newsletter- After George Elliot Hospital introduced SensorCare Falls Prevention Systems into their wards, they noticed a 45% drop in the number of patient falls and as a result, a reduction in the length of patient stay.

'The System is proving to be very reliable and Greystoke Residential Home are very pleased with it as it saves a great amount of their time. The sensor sounds immediately when my mother gets up from her chair in the Residents' Lounge and the carers can answer "the risk" immediately. Thank you for your help and we all hope it continues to help Greystoke and my 101 year old mother!'
 Mrs ML Mark - Daughter of Mrs Milroy, Resident at Greystoke Manor Residential Home, Worthing

'A research project - 'New Technology in Elderly Care', found pressure monitors tested in sheltered and residential accommodation to be extremely useful by care staff. Initial findings show that carers in the community are able to sleep better because they do not have to be constantly vigilant in case their relative gets up.'
Dr Frank Miskelly - Consultant Physican, Charing Cross Hospital

'Though the cost improvements of the monitors are significant, the major benefits are those generated through patients, the potential to improve the quality of patient care and reduce carer distress.'
Julie Derbyshire - Practice & Development Nurse, South Tyneside Healthcare Trust Medicine & Elderly Division

'Overall staff found the SensorCare Monitor to be paramount in preventing falls at night.'
Falling Risk Assessment - Nursing Times, July 2000
Elizabeth Bessant - Clinical Nurse Specialist

'From introduction of the Sensor care systems in September this year we have been very pleased with the professionalism of the company and the effectiveness of the products. Our trial period was initiated promptly and an excellent demonstration followed.
The system which we have subsequently purchased (bed sensor monitor) has provided peace of mind for all of our staff. The product allows the client to retain the highest possible degree of privacy and independence and also provides nursing staff with an early indication of a potential fall risk through a discreet monitoring of the client’s movements thus enabling early intervention in an effort to reduce the risk of possible injury.'
Louise McIlwrath - Home Manager, Cromore, Four Seasons Care Home,
Northern Ireland
