Is your facility still mostly alarm free? Do you use silent alarms or just no alarms. I am wondering as the Care Center my father is in is going to go alarm free. Since time has passed since you posted this, do you still feel that no alarms is safer for the residents? Because most care centers/nursing homes are short-staffed across the U.S., I am wondering how a "no alarm" system has affected the TIME it takes for staff to help residents once they have fallen? Any help answering these questions would be appreciated! Thank you!

Do you have any follow up information on silent alarms? Did your facility end of using them? If so, what vendor/brand? Thank you!!

Do you have any information on vendor/brand of the silent alarms you use? Are they door alarms or bed/wheelchair alarms? I am interested in the latter. Also, how does the silent alarm get transmitted to staff? By pager, iPhone? Thank you!!
