CallingCare.com calls seniors at home to ensure they are OK
CARE (Call Reassurance)
The CARE program is a telephone reassurance program developed and marketed directly by Database Systems Corp. (DSC). This program contacts the elderly and handicapped ensuring their well-being.
CARE is the latest generation of senior calling programs utilizing Windows OS, Intel processors and Dialogic telephony boards for communications processing. The CARE (call reassurance) program is one of the most important products that DSC provides to communities, police departments, sheriff's offices, and senior service organizations.
CARE systems can also send emergency phone alerts using DSC voice broadcasting technology to community members and likewise send automatic notices to seniors such as medication reminders.
CARE Subscriber Profiles
The CARE program supports 4 different profiles that fit the needs of subscribers. These profiles can all co-exist on the same CARE phone system.
Telephone Reassurance Call
This is the traditional CARE function that maintains a list of citizens to be called on a regular basis to ensure the citizen is OK. If the citizen does not respond positively to the call, an alert is generated at the CARE center and a follow-up procedure is initiated.
“I’m OK” Reassurance Call
The "I'm OK" profile is similar to the telephone reassurance call, except the senior initiates the call into the CARE phone system and informs CARE that they are OK. The CARE call is automatically processed using IVR technology. As seniors call the CARE phone system, they are automatically recorded as OK. No operator or dispatcher is required to take this call. Caller-id is used when available to determine the caller’s identity. If the senior does not call the CARE system, an automatic CARE call is made similar to the traditional telephone reassurance call.
Medication and Reminder Calls
The CARE phone system maintains a list of citizens to be called on a regular basis to remind them to take their medications or to attend scheduled appointments. This is not an emergency call and there is no dispatch of a CARE responder. The CARE system reports in its log the receipt (or non-receipt) of this call.
Latch-Key Child Call Reassurance
The CARE program maintains a list of latchkey children to be called on regular basis, either after school or any other time a parent would want to ensure their child is at home and safe. If the child does not respond to the call, the parent(s) and other appropriate contacts are notified. The time of calls could be randomized to ensure the child comes home and stays home.
