The nurse call system is a unique design in that all building access and security permissions will be unique to each staff member and resident. Every person on the premises will wear a wireless bracelet which can be programmed individually for location history, door and elevator access, and the ability to request assistance from anywhere within the building.The 5th floor will be dedicated to those residents who are afflicted with major brain impairments.The fixtures and safety protocols will be different on this floor and all fixtures will be more indestructible than others without compromising on quality, efficiency, or aesthetics.
