Salient Networks and RCare Launch Fully Compliant Wireless Nurse Call System Priced for Smaller Skilled Nursing Facilities, at LeadingAge California

MONTEREY, Calif., May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Salient Networks, the leading experts in technology infrastructure and implementation in the senior housing industry and an RCare integration expert, announced the official California launch of the RCare BCube wireless nurse call system, designed for small senior living campuses, at the LeadingAge California Annual Conference and Exposition.  

RCare is a global provider of UL-1069 listed wireless nurse call and personal emergency response systems for the entire spectrum of of eldercare and senior living. The BCube is the first full-featured wireless nurse call system designed and priced exclusively for small campuses. The BCube is one of the few wireless nurse call systems that is now fully compliant with UL-1069 ed 7, the recently adopted standard in California for wireless nurse call systems.

"We run into a lot of small, home-like skilled nursing settings with outdated pager technology," said Murphy Clarke, CEO of Salient Networks. "They know they need better technology, but they've never had a budget to afford the best nurse call systems. With the launch of the RCare BCube, we can integrate all of the rich features of a high-end nurse call system, with an affordable price tag."

The BCube reports sensor information and alert statuses, and provides the important accountability capabilities of the larger systems, including analytics, big time reporting and the RPhone "I got it" caregiving accountability tool.

The BCube nurse station not only functions like the nurse stations of the larger RCare products, but it also acts as the central server for the community. Eliminating unnecessary hardware costs for smaller communities is just one of the ways RCare has scaled the price without sacrificing quality.

"There were virtually no technology options designed for these small senior campuses," said RCare CEO Myron Kowal. "We saw an opportunity to take all of the features of our flagship nurse call technology and scale it to a smaller comprehensive package, customized and priced for this demographic. All of our products meet the latest UL-1069 standards."

With the BCube, the facilities get the benefits of the existing, thoroughly-developed, tested and supported functionality of the larger RCare solutions with a customized, re-engineered and redesigned platform to serve fewer beds. They also receive the best analytics and reporting tools available, at a fraction of the cost.
