The Fall Savers Wireless Nurse Call Receiver is a wireless interface that bridges Fall Savers sensor alerts directly into the care home's existing nurse call system, delivering fall prevention alerts to the central nurse call panel and all connected staff devices. Fall Savers sensor events - bed and chair exits, floor sensor alerts, door and window openings, call button activations - are received by this unit and routed to the nurse call infrastructure without requiring separate pagers or dedicated receivers. Plug-and-play installation into compatible nurse call systems enables care homes with established nurse call infrastructure to add Fall Savers monitoring without replacing or reconfiguring the existing system.

NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) identifies prompt staff response as the primary mechanism by which sensor-based fall prevention monitoring reduces falls: the nurse call receiver ensures Fall Savers alerts reach staff through the nurse call infrastructure that care home staff are already trained to respond to, removing any delay or uncertainty in the alert delivery path. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) is served by the nurse call integration: alerts delivered through the nurse call panel reach all staff on duty simultaneously rather than only those within earshot of a standalone monitor, improving the speed and reliability of the care response. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) benefits significantly from the nurse call integration: care homes whose nurse call systems log alert events and response times will capture Fall Savers sensor events in the same log, providing an auditable record of fall monitoring alerts, staff response times and incident patterns that supports the governance documentation CQC inspectors review.
Is the Fall Savers Wireless Nurse Call Receiver compatible with all nurse call systems, or only specific models?
The Fall Savers Wireless Nurse Call Receiver is designed to integrate with nurse call systems that accept a standard input signal format. Compatibility with the specific nurse call system installed at the care home should be confirmed with the supplier before purchase, as nurse call systems use various input interface formats and the receiver's output signal must match the nurse call system's expected input. The supplier can advise on which nurse call system models are confirmed compatible and whether an adaptor is required for specific systems. Where the care home's nurse call system is not compatible with the Fall Savers Wireless Nurse Call Receiver, the Fall Savers Wireless Pager (NCL-51201) provides an alternative staff alert delivery method that does not require nurse call system integration.
Can the Fall Savers Wireless Nurse Call Receiver and a Fall Savers Wireless Pager be used simultaneously at the same care home?
Yes. The nurse call receiver and the wireless pager serve complementary alerting functions and can be used simultaneously. The nurse call receiver delivers Fall Savers alerts to the nurse call panel for staff at the nurses' station or care desk. The wireless pager delivers Fall Savers alerts to individual carers moving around the facility. In care homes with a mix of stationed and mobile staff, using both simultaneously ensures that Fall Savers alerts reach both the central station and the mobile carers who may be closest to the monitored resident at the time of the alert. Multiple pagers can be used across a team to provide each mobile carer with their own portable alert receiver.
