When designing the Samarion solution, the importance of dignity was always in the forefront of our minds. We know that dignity—or the lack of it—affects a person’s quality of life, whatever one’s age. We also realize the critical issue of privacy, another of our paramount concerns. Finally, we are well aware that dignity is of utmost importance when serving the elderly in a nursing home.
Certainly, we can all agree there is no dignity in becoming lost, or lying on the floor with a broken hip. Yet in the name of safety and security, some so-called remedies abandon the notion all together, employing physical constraints that interfere with residents’ freedom and flexibility. In other words, their dignity.
Samarion enhances residents’ self-respect by allowing them the opportunity to enjoy an active, mobile life. The SamarionStroll feature, for example, allows a resident to wander freely onto the back porch in the evening. The system will only step in if the resident approaches an unsafe area, like an exit door facing a busy street. Similarly, the SamarionPrevention feature is designed to proactively intercede before a resident falls during an unassisted bed exit attempt. The way Samarion intervenes has dignity at its core: immediate alerts are sent to the caregiving staff, who assists the resident before harm occurs.
For more evidence of dignity by design, we invite you to explore the other facets of SamarionSolution: SamarionSafe, SamarionFamily and SamarionFacility.
