Emergency Call Features
Acuity has made their wearable locating pendants with an emergency call system. This means that not only can you have knowledge that a resident is in distress, but they can also alert you if they need help. Plus, the pendants feature a two-way feedback so when a pendant is activated, it will vibrate once to let the user know that the call was received by the main system and help is on the way.
Pendants are Water-Resistant and Durable
Acuity has designed these wearable locating pendants to last a long time. They are resistant to water, so if the resident washes their hands and splashes water on it or accidentally showers with one on, the pendant will be fine. The pendants are durable, so if they are accidentally knocked or dropped, they can withstand the impact. Most importantly, these pendants are comfortable, so the resident will not even realize they are there. This also helps to ensure that residents don’t take it off.
