Thoughtful solutions throughout
Just how intelligent the solution is for a
rest and nursing home is illustrated partic-
ularly by the fact that all the relevant re-
quirements are fulfilled. With its modulari-
ty and flexibility, GAMMA instabus is
ideally suited to all a rest and nursing
home‘s interests.
Resident‘s rooms
The residents‘ activities can be report-
ed via presence and motion detectors or
key sensors.
Access control systems simplify opera-
tion of the doors and report unauthor-
ized attempts to open them. Lost cards
can be replaced more cost-effectively
than keys.
If a person is absent, unneeded consum-
ers, such as lighting, cookers and irons,
can be automatically switched off via
the access control system.
Room functions can also be set with a
hand-held remote control. This is par-
ticularly helpful for elderly persons with
restricted mobility and thus saves on
care expenditure.
Room functions are operated by means
of an illuminated pushbutton, clearly
labeled or provided with symbols.
They are accordingly ideally suited also
for elderly persons with reduced visual
acuity.
The timed air delivery and extraction
control guarantees high air quality and
saves energy costs.
If a resident opens the window, the
heating is turned down automatically.
Windows that are left open for an ex-
tended period can also be reported to
the care station.
Individuals who need help in the bath-
room or in their room can use pull cord
buttons to raise the alarm quickly and
easily.
Motion detectors installed in the floor
switch on orientation lighting at night
if one of the residents gets up.
Restrooms
The lighting and extraction system can
be presence-dependent – without
pushbutton operation. This is particularly
convenient for residents with reduced
mobility and saves energy costs.
Water sensors give early warning of
pipe fractures and flooding.
Nurses‘ room/base
The nurses‘ room is equipped with a
control panel for the distribution cen-
ter, in order to control building functions
centrally at the ward. Functions in the
residents‘ rooms can be indicated and
controlled. Alarms will be reported.
Social/Communal/Event rooms/Chapel
With one touch of a button, you can set
up the entire room for the current use at
the time (scenario control). For example
in the chapel, all lights can be set appro-
priately with a single touch of a button. In
event rooms, while giving a presentation,
you can lower the blinds, switch on the
beamer/digital projector, roll out the pro-
jection screen, switch off the lights in the
area surrounding the screen and lower
the lights in the rest of the room to 10 %
– all at the touch of a button.
The presenter can also control these
scenes completely mobile with the
remote control.
... and the right control for every task
The best technology is useless if it is dif-
ficult to operate. GAMMA instabus was
therefore designed to be so user-friendly
that even the elderly can use these func-
tions on first encountering them: with
ease and conveniently from the familiar
switches, remote controls, operating
displays, touch panels or via a central
visualization PC.
In rest and nursing homes, there are
high hygiene criteria even for the push-
buttons. Stable, environmentally friend-
ly thermoplasts are particularly hygien-
ic, because they are easy to clean.
