The Situational Awareness and Response Assistant (SARA) is an enabling technology that can improve the safety of your senior housing community by increasing awareness of certain events and activities. SARA is an automated alerting system which through a simple to use text to voice engine can send voice and text alerts to in-building pagers, email and telephones, as well as to cell phones, home phones and external email. This allows both staff and residents to be notified of important events at any time, any place. Staff members can quickly address safety and security concerns or environmental problems before they turn into emergencies.
SARA includes:
- Wireless emergency call
- Easy integration to current systems
- Flexible alerting capabilities, including the “Voice of SARA”
- Broadcast resident communication capabilities
- Comprehensive reporting
SARA is like adding another staff person to your community that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
