Group Check-in
Overview
Each system comes with a programmable button on the touchscreen. Communities often find it useful as a Check-In button for Residents of the community. By activating the Group Check-In feature for a Group, each system in the Group will have a Check-In button on the touchscreen. Residents use this Check-In button by pressing it during a particular time range each day. Using the Online Care Portal, the community's care staff can see who has and has not checked in, and follow up accordingly.
