Are you looking for an innovative solution to improve efficiency and care quality in your care home?
Look no further than Ally Cares – the latest addition to our trusted suppliers at Spectrum Care.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Ally Cares can improve your operations and enhance the wellbeing of your residents.
Who Are Ally Cares?
Ally Cares is a resident acoustic monitoring system for care homes. Their system alerts staff instantly when residents require care, freeing staff from time-consuming regular checks that often wake up sleeping residents.
The people at Ally are on a mission to help care homes transform their night-time care.
Their aim is simple: to enable teams to provide safer, person-centered care to residents. All while giving staff the gift of time to better do the jobs they love!
NHSE, ICB and customer research shows that care homes using Ally have slashed bedroom falls by 63%, decreased hospital visits by 56%, improved residents’ sleep time by 50% and given carers back 30% more time to care.
What is Acoustic Monitoring?
Acoustic monitoring in a care home setting refers to the use of sound-based technology to detect and respond to residents' needs, particularly during night-time hours. It works by installing discreet sensors in residents' rooms that analyse sounds, such as coughing, distress noises or movements and alert staff when intervention is needed.
Ally uses a wifi-connected monitor, plugged into each resident’s room, to detect changes in their sleep through sound and motion during the night. Care staff simply switch it on for each resident at bedtime.
Ally Cares AI technology learns to differentiate between resident activity and normal background signals to detect when residents are calling for help, are awake and active, unusually restless or in discomfort.
Care staff simply check alerts on a smartphone, review sensor data, listen to audio samples, and assess whether residents need their assistance.
