A ‘pioneering’ new dementia care centre in North Wales is ‘reaping the benefits of C-TEC’s innovative life safety systems’.
Part of the Fairways Care group of homes, Ty Cariad in Abergele is dedicated to delivering high intensity dementia care, and helping residents access significant past memories by creating imagery and artificial surroundings they can relate to – typically shops, workplaces, and rooms adorned with family photographs.
C-TEC’s Quantec addressable call system facilitates vital call communication at the Centre, which is divided into four modern ‘households’, all with unrestricted access to landscaped gardens and patios. All nursing personnel carry Quantec pagers to alert them immediately should a resident or colleague require assistance.
At night, special sensors discreetly monitor movement within bedrooms. If a resident leaves the bed area, a light comes on, the sensor triggers a call on the system, and staff are alerted via a pager to visit the room.
One of C-TEC’s powerful ZFP addressable fire panels – linked to staff pagers to alert staff to messages from the fire system – provides high levels of fire protection. A SigTEL disabled refuge system has also been installed.
