Text Messaging for Assisted Living Facilities & Nursing Homes
Text messaging is used a variety of ways in assisted living facilities and nursing homes. PageGate allows for messaging to be utilized a number of different ways — SMS messages can be sent from workstations on a network, via web pages, from within proprietary bed management systems, or in conjunction with alarm or elopement management systems. PageGate is modular and can be scaled to meet the size of any nursing home or assisted living facility.
