What benefits does alea offer care homes?

alea by AssistMe is a digital care assistance system developed specifically for residential care homes. It offers numerous benefits that improve both the quality of care and the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of care homes:

1. Increased efficiency in day-to-day care

  • Real-time notifications: alea immediately informs care staff when action is required – e.g. in cases of incontinence, necessary repositioning or when residents leave safe zones. This reduces unnecessary routine checks and saves time.
  • Needs-based care: Instead of working to fixed routine schedules, care staff can intervene specifically where it is really needed. This reduces the workload on staff and improves the quality of care.

2. Cost reduction and sustainability

  • Material savings: Precise notifications reduce the consumption of incontinence products by up to 23%. At the same time, costs for laundry and cleaning are reduced as leaks are prevented.
  • Less waste: alea helps to optimise material consumption – this conserves resources and protects the environment.

3. Improved quality of care and safety

  • Pressure ulcer prevention: alea reminds carers of necessary repositioning and documents this automatically. This reduces pressure on immobile residents, thereby lowering the risk of pressure ulcers.
  • Safety for dementia patients: For residents with a tendency to wander, alea issues a warning as soon as they leave safe areas – without restricting their freedom of movement. This enhances safety and provides greater peace of mind for care staff and relatives.

4. Automated and comprehensive documentation

  • Digital care documentation: alea automatically records all relevant data (e.g. incontinence pad changes, repositioning) and transfers it to existing care documentation systems. This saves time, reduces errors and meets legal requirements.
  • Easy to use: Additional information can be entered directly on site via smartphone or tablet – this reduces the risk of anything being forgotten.

5. Reducing the burden on care staff

  • More time for residents: With fewer administrative tasks, there is more scope for individual attention and person-centred care.
  • Improved working conditions: alea enhances job satisfaction (lower staff turnover, fewer sick days) and strengthens the facility’s image as an attractive employer.

Conclusion

alea is a scientifically sound, tried-and-tested assistance system that helps care homes to compensate for the shortage of skilled staff, improve the quality of care and save costs at the same time. It is a key technology for sustainable, humane and affordable care.
