Designed for on-the-go senior housing staff and caregivers, provides a powerful set of tools for your caregivers, making caregiving more efficient and responsive over antiquated pager-based nurse call systems. With RCare Mobile, the nurse call goes out only to the caregivers who are responsible for answering. When receiving the call, staff is informed of not only the room number, but also the resident’s name, their photograph, as well as details about their needs. This way, even if the staff member or the resident are new and have never met, the caregiver is armed with a wealth of information that pager-based systems do not give. - “I Got It” Feature Integrated with your RCare nurse call system, RCare Mobile lets your caregivers claim a call, ensuring accountability. It lets all caregivers to see which calls have been claimed and by whom. It verifies all calls get answered and eliminates duplication of efforts. The alarm stops once it’s claimed, reducing alarm fatigue. - Voice-to-Voice Communication Power The RCare Mobile app puts the communication power of a smart phone in the hands of your caregivers, but without the risks and distractions of personal cell phones. Speak with residents. What is the situation? Reassure them help is on the way. Communicate (text/call) with other caregivers and staff. - Record “Activities of Daily Living” With RCare Mobile, caregivers can log resident visits for helping with ADLs, by checking in and out of the point of care.

How we got started? - We saw a gap in the healthcare industry, where nurse call systems were lacking a modern touch. 4Call was developed as a middleware that served communities economically while also providing a future-proof solution. Our team created a software platform that works with existing hardware, so installation is fast and simple. Where we are going? - Today, we have built a platform for seamless staff-to-resident communication. With constantly changing technology trends, we are moving to the space that forms an intersection between healthcare and hospitality. We work with leading senior housing providers to position themselves as “standouts” from the pack by providing hybrid models of care and hospitality.
