The assisted living industry demands a careful blend of compassion, care, and cutting-edge technology. This is where HealthSignals, an industry-leading provider of advanced telecommunication solutions, excels. Let’s delve into how HealthSignals is revolutionizing senior living facilities, and why it’s becoming an essential element in the aging life care and assisted living industry.

Senior living communities have a unique set of needs that standard telecommunication solutions can’t address effectively. HealthSignals understands these intricacies, offering bespoke solutions that empower residents and staff.

The Emergence of ERCESs: A Safety Necessity in Senior Living Facilities
In the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy, it became abundantly clear that First Responder radio coverage within buildings was inadequate, posing a significant risk during emergencies. In response to this, the International Fire Code (IFC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) developed stringent requirements to address this critical issue.
Beginning in 2009, the IFC mandated the installation of in-building Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCESs) in all new constructions. HealthSignals, committed to improving safety in senior living communities, embraced this change, partnering with the Safer Buildings Coalition and APCO International in order to become knowledgeable and stay current with the specific Code requirements in order to design, deploy and manage ERCESs.
Tapping into the Growing Market
The senior living sector is rapidly expanding, fueled by a growing aging population and increased demand for quality elder care. This expansion opens a vast market for innovative solutions like those HealthSignals offers. As more senior living facilities recognize the value of advanced telecommunication systems, the opportunity for HealthSignals to bring their unique blend of innovation and care to more lives grows.
How Technology Benefits Residents, Staff and Visitors in Senior Living
The digital revolution spearheaded by HealthSignals is not just enhancing the lives of senior residents, but it also brings enormous benefits to staff and visitors in senior living communities.
