I have used the Personal pager by Adaptivation with good results.  Its range however is only 75 feet and indicated as not approved to be used as a nurse-call.

Subject: switch-adapted call systems

 

Hi everybody,

 

Does anyone have a switch-adapted caregiver pager or call system that they really like?  We have been recommending the switch-adapted pagers sold by Enabling Devices, but I have had several families tell me that these have lots of “false positives” (they go off randomly when the switch has not been activated).  Not a good thing for a caregiver who is trying to get some much-needed sleep.

 

It looks like Enabling Devices’ Attendant Call Chime has changed since we last ordered it – does anyone have experience with the new model?  Or do you have a different product that you would recommend?  Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks!
