Brian Long, Executive Director of Atrium Senior Living of Matawan, explains: “Our mission is to optimize the lives of our seniors and deliver peace of mind to their loved ones.

By remaining on the cutting edge of technology, we can access the best, most efficient ways to deliver quality care and maintain our industry leading standards.”

The technology programs utilized by Atrium Senior Living of Matawan include:

• SMILE™ is a resident centric solution to communicate and engage with families of assisted living and memory care residents. Using SMILE™, staff can electronically track resident activity participation and share this information with families. They are able to keep families informed of upcoming events through two-way messaging and give families access to community recreation calendars, newsletter and menus. Staff and families are also able to share photos, videos and music through SMILE™ to further enrich the connection between staff, families and residents. It transforms traditional communication methods into dynamic, real time experiences that may lead to improved quality of life for each resident, greater resident and family satisfaction, and staff engagement.
• PointClickCare gives nurses and caregivers the ability to document and track assigned tasks and access healthcare information quickly. This allows for more hands-on, quality time engaging with residents.
• TRENDING TECHNOLOGY is a customizable safety monitoring system that allows residents to continue leading independent and fulfilling lives. The system monitors the daily activities of the residents, alerting caregivers in real-time of any changes in habits, and it does so without cameras or microphones, so it respects and maintains the privacy of seniors.
• eMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record system) makes the documentation of prescription medications more accurate and efficient, enhancing the safety and health of residents.
• ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS deliver added value to care and services by enabling efficient sharing of information with doctors and other partners, affording staff more individualized time with residents by streamlining clinical documentation, ensuring HIPPA compliance, and reducing hospitalizations by flagging issues such as respiratory infections before they escalate.
