Installation Time EstimatesKeep in Mind:
|
Time Estimates:
- Assessment: 1 to 2 hours - Includes: interviewing family, determining potential rules, surveying the home/loved one, family orientation (how to check, add pictures, etc.)
- Pre-install: 1 to 2 hours - Includes GC Manage set up (account, users, caregivers), setting up sensors & initial rules
- Installation: 1 to 2 hours - Includes: Placing the system in the home along with sensors
Rule of Thumb: - Plus a few hours
- These are estimates assume no tech difficulty or extra assistance/help for family and caregiver
- There are almost always some unique factors involved, so allot a few extra "just in case" hours
Installation Overview
- Set up installation date & primary caregiver training session
- Set up a time to talk with primary caregiver about system capabilities and help set-up rules, add pictures, etc.
- Collect information for the setup
- Bring up system in office
- Allow time for any updates to apply. (New systems may not have any updates. Systems that you have held in inventory for a period of time may have more.)
- Install the antennas
- Pre-set and test all sensors
- Add any initial rules (Try to add as few as possible for 2 weeks – learn what's normal before setting most of the rules)
- Add initial communications (Important to load some pictures from caregivers before installation to make the system more appealing to the resident)
- Add Users
- Add Loved One(s), Caregivers, and Known Callers
- Install in the residence
- Give an emergency support number to your primary caregivers
- Set up 2-week follow-up with caregiver(s)
- Answer any questions
- Together assess information & set-up appropriate rules
- Follow up a few days after this
- Are rules appropriate (too few/too many calls or emails?)
- Revise rules as needed
