The Situational Awareness and Response Assistant (SARA) is an enabling technology that can improve the safety of your senior housing community by increasing awareness of certain events and activities.  SARA is an automated alerting system which through a simple to use text to voice engine can send voice and text alerts to in-building pagers, email and telephones, as well as to cell phones, home phones and external email.  This allows both staff and residents to be notified of important events at any time, any place.  Staff members can quickly address safety and security concerns or environmental problems before they turn into emergencies.

SARA includes:

• Wireless emergency call
• Easy integration to current systems
• Flexible alerting capabilities, including the “Voice of SARA”
• Broadcast communication capabilities
• Comprehensive reporting

SARA is like adding another staff person to your community that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week

Doorway Privilege Manager

By tightly integrating doorway controls with the SARA alerting engine, you are able to increase the overall awareness of all events occurring within your facilities.  SARA’s Doorway Privilege Manager provides a rules-based ingress, egress and alerting solution.  It can leverage existing access control and wander management hardware that your community may already have in place. 

Automated Voice Reminders

Alerts for community events, scheduled activities, bus departure and medicine reminders can be scheduled and automatically sent via phone to designated residents and/ or staff members.  The technology uses a “text-to-voice” capability which is integrated with the phone system.  Regularly scheduled, recurring events can be entered into the system, or “Quick Messages” can be created.  Quick Messages are an effective tool for last minute schedule changes or safety related information, such as inclement weather.
