What it is: Recognizing the happiest and healthiest residents are those who interact frequently with loved ones, Samarion invented SamarionFamily to make it possible for residents to stay in touch with family and friends on an unprecedented basis.

How it works: Samarion sets up a monitor to provide live conferences with loved ones in the privacy of the resident's room. In addition, directly from their television set, residents may also view digital photos, videos and other digital content sent by family and friends. SamarionFamily is especially beneficial for out-of-town loved ones who want to stay in touch more often. And even though the system is sophisticated, it is as simple to use as a universal remote control.

SamarionFamily also provides wireless internet connectivity for visitors to the facility, so loved ones may stop by more frequently, knowing they can be productive when there are breaks in the visit.

What it means to you: Happier and healthier residents, and family members who take a new level of ownership in their loved one's care. This will lead to greater occupancy rates and an unparalleled competitive benefit.
