The Alerta Wall Point Receiver is the central wireless interface for the Alerta fall prevention monitoring ecosystem, connecting up to five paired Alerta wireless sensors to either a nurse call system for centralised alerting or operating as a standalone in-room alert unit. Secure 433MHz radio frequency pairing ensures each receiver responds only to its own paired devices, preventing cross-interference between monitoring systems in adjacent rooms across busy care home and NHS ward environments. With 95 metres of line-of-sight wireless range and a choice of mains or battery power, the Wall Point Receiver provides flexible, infrastructure-independent deployment across all clinical care environments.

NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) recommends multifactorial risk assessment and timely carer response as the primary framework for falls prevention in care settings. The Wall Point Receiver provides the alerting infrastructure that enables carers to respond within the time window that prevents an attempted exit from becoming a fall. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requires that care providers mitigate fall risk through appropriate equipment: the Wall Point Receiver is the hub that makes the Alerta wireless monitoring system clinically functional. CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) is supported by the silent mode: audible in-room alarms disrupt sleep, agitate dementia patients and stigmatise the monitored individual - silent routing through the nurse call system maintains protection while eliminating these harms. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) requires that fall incidents are recorded: the Wall Point Receiver's real-time alerting supports the response documentation that underpins falls governance.
How does the Wall Point Receiver pair with Alerta wireless sensors, and can it be repaired if a device is replaced?
The Wall Point Receiver uses a secure 433MHz pairing process with each Alerta wireless device, typically requiring the transmitter button to be pressed within range of the receiver to establish the pairing. Once paired, the receiver responds only to signals from its registered devices, preventing false alerts from other Alerta systems in nearby rooms. When a sensor device is replaced, the new device is paired to the same receiver using the same process. The pairing is device-specific rather than location-specific, so a receiver can be relocated to a different room and reused with its existing paired devices without re-pairing.
Can the Wall Point Receiver integrate with all nurse call systems, or only specific models?
The Alerta Wall Point Receiver is compatible with nurse call systems that accept a mono or stereo jack input for alert signals, the standard jack format used by the majority of nurse call systems installed in UK care homes and NHS wards. Compatibility should be confirmed with the existing nurse call system installer or manufacturer before purchase, as some nurse call systems use proprietary connection formats that may require an adaptor. Where direct jack integration is not possible, the Wall Point Receiver can function as a standalone in-room alert unit using its built-in speaker, ensuring monitoring continuity while a compatible connection solution is arranged.
