A Mansfield care home has introduced a new monitoring system to try to prevent residents from falls.

The Ally Resident Acoustic Monitoring system at Newgate Lodge Care Home provides real-time monitoring during the night.

The cutting-edge technology aims to enhance residents’ safety by alerting the care team when residents require assistance.

Lee Swinn, deputy manager at the home, said: “We want to be proactive in preventing falls from being sustained. Acoustic monitoring at Newgate Lodge Care Home will mean less disruption to our residents throughout the night-time.

“The Ally system will identify if movement is being carried out within the residents’ bedrooms, alerting employees when someone may be at risk of falling or injury.

“It provides a clearer picture of residents’ wellbeing, helping them maintain undisturbed sleep patterns and reducing the risk of fall-related hospital admissions.”

Manjas Lidder, managing director of Lidder Care, which runs the home, added: “The focus is for all residents in need of care to live fulfilling, safe, and secure lives.”
