Leading Queensland Non-Profit Care Organization Chooses Ascom Nurse Call Solution for Six Aged Care Communities

Wesley Mission Brisbane, a major not-for-profit care and social support organization in the Australian state of Queensland, has chosen an Ascom Wireless Solutions nurse call solution for six of its aged care communities.

"Wesley Mission Brisbane plays a vital role in Queensland,” says Feargal O’Farrell, Sales and Marketing Director, Ascom Integrated Wireless, Australia. "It operates 13 aged care homes, five child care centers, and three retirement living villages across the state, as well operating emergency relief services and supported communities for people living with disability —so it’s great to be able to help their invaluable work.”

The Ascom nurse call solution chosen by Wesley Mission Brisbane simplifies communication between residents and staff. The Ascom Unite application suite, for example, lets designated staff members immediately receive alarm notifications anytime, anywhere on their wireless handheld devices. The Ascom platform also provides a wireless personal alarm system with complete emergency response workflows.

"The Ascom solution gives us the assurance that the correct procedures and workflows are in place to manage all alarms and events throughout our facilities,” says Ross Bloomfield, IT Implementations Manager at Wesley Mission Brisbane. "We believe that selecting a single nurse call solution will help support and deliver quality resident care”.
