Know when a resident is out of bed, before it becomes a fall
Every fall-risk bed shows on one board, and the right aide’s watch buzzes the moment it matters. Nothing for the resident to wear, no wiring, no monthly fees.
One-time purchase · no subscription · no monthly fees · trusted since 2009.
How it works
A fall-risk resident gets out of bed. Here is exactly what your system does next, without waking the hall or waiting for the next round.
1. Detect
A thin sensor pad lies on the bed, under the sheet, and senses the instant her weight leaves it. Nothing worn, pressed, or charged.
2. Wait smartly
Her tile starts a timer. A normal bathroom trip clears itself, silently. No buzzer, no woken hallway, no alarm fatigue.
3. Alert
Still up past the wait you set for her (here, 5 minutes), the tile turns red and the aide’s watch buzzes: “Room 205, up 5 min.” It follows staff anywhere.
4. Respond & log
The aide walks straight to 205 and helps her safely back. The whole event is timestamped for your records.
You set the wait. Choose any wait you want, from an immediate alert for a resident who should never get up alone, to several minutes for someone who just needs the bathroom. Set it for the whole floor or per bed, and change it anytime from the station in a few taps.
Your whole floor on one board
One screen shows every monitored bed as a tile. Green means in bed, red means up too long. You see the whole floor at a glance, without opening a single door or waking anyone.
See every bed at a glance
No more room-by-room rounds just to check who’s safe. One look tells you the whole floor is fine, or exactly which room isn’t.
Smart timeout, far fewer false alarms
Set any wait per resident, immediate to several minutes. Normal bathroom trips stay silent; only real risk pages your team.
Alerts follow staff anywhere
The right aide’s watch buzzes the instant a bed turns red, so no one is chained to the desk.
See exactly what happened overnight
The Monitoring Station logs every bed exit, timestamped. Weeks later, see who got up, when, how long, and whether it rose to an alert.
- Review what happened before a fall, or spot residents up often at night
- Print or export any report to PDF or CSV, right on the station
- All logs stay on-site, nothing in the cloud, no internet needed

Not just another cheap alarm pad
Most facilities try a cheap buzzer pad first, then watch staff quietly switch it off after the tenth false alarm. Here’s the honest difference.

What’s in the system
The station and one pad for each bed you want to monitor are what every system is built on, and most buildings need a signal repeater as well, sized off your floor plan. Add watches or beepers, pull cords, or the station on your phones only if you want them.
What most facilities start with
recommended
Monitoring Station
A pre-configured touchscreen running the MMCall software. It receives from every bed sensor pad wirelessly and shows every monitored bed as a tile: green in bed, red when up too long. It can also page staff watches or beepers if you add them.
Specifications
| Screen | single 15.6 in touchscreen |
|---|---|
| Computer | Intel Core i5 · 8 GB RAM · 128 GB drive |
| Transmitter | built in, connected by USB |
| Receives from the pads | 433.500 MHz |
| Pages the wearables | 462.750 MHz · up to 3/4 mile |
| Capacity | as many pads, watches and beepers as needed |
| Data | stored on the station, no cloud |
| Reports | print or export to PDF or CSV |
Bed Sensor Pad
A thin pressure pad that sits on the bed, under the sheet. It senses the resident’s weight and starts a per-resident timeout the moment they get up. Nothing to wear, press, or charge.
Specifications
| Senses | the resident’s weight, under the sheet |
|---|---|
| Timeout | set per resident |
| Radio | 433.500 MHz |
| Range to station | 260 ft clear · plan 100–150 ft |
| Battery | one 12V 23AE |
| Fits | standard, hospital and adjustable beds |
Signal Repeaters
A bed pad only reaches so far. It’s rated at 260 ft in the open, but you plan on 100 to 150 ft once there are walls between the bed and the station. A repeater sits in between and carries the signal the rest of the way, so a room at the far end pages the same as the one next door. It plugs into an outlet, and that’s the whole install. Most buildings take at least one, and a long wing or a second floor takes more. Send us your floor plan and we’ll mark where they go before you buy.

optional
Watch Pager or Beeper
The same alert on the person: a watch on the wrist, or a beeper that clips to a belt or pocket. It buzzes with the room the moment a bed stays red, so it reaches whoever is away from the station. Both arrive paired to your station, so you just hand them out.
Specifications
| Receives | 462.750 MHz |
|---|---|
| Battery | 3–4 days per charge |
| Recharge | 4 hours · one charger does 5 at once |
| Alert | vibrate + on-screen text |

| Beeper | water resistant · 1.5 × 2 × 1 in |
Pull Cords, Call Buttons & Lights
Add bathroom pull cords and bedside call buttons to grow into a full nurse call system, or corridor and door lights for a visual cue at the room, all on the same watches and station.
The monitoring station, on a phone
The same board on the phone of whoever is on nights: every bed that has stayed red, which room, how long the resident has been up, and whether anybody has been in yet. Nothing reaches a phone until that bed passes the wait you set for it, so a normal bathroom trip stays silent here too. It works from the next hall or from home. Plain texts and email are still there for anyone who prefers them.
Set up in an afternoon, not a work order
It ships pre-configured to your facility. No electrician, no wiring, and no Wi-Fi or internet needed.
1. Unbox the station
The Monitoring Station arrives pre-configured to your rooms. Power it on and the board is live.
2. Place the sensors
Lay a thin sensor pad on each fall-risk bed, under the sheet where the resident’s back and hips rest. Nothing to wire, screw in, or mount.
3. Set the wait
Choose how long each resident can be up before it alerts, right on the station. Change it any time in a few taps.
That’s it. Most facilities are up and running the same afternoon the box arrives.
The questions every administrator asks first
Not if you add watch pagers. The board is your at-a-glance overview at the station, and a bed that stays red past its timeout also pages the assigned aide on the wrist, instead of waiting for someone to look at the screen.
No. You set a bed-exit timeout per resident, so a normal bathroom trip clears itself silently. Staff are only paged if the resident is up longer than you allow: genuine risk, not ordinary movement. That’s the whole difference from a cheap pad that buzzes on every move until someone quietly switches it off.
Yes. The sensor is a thin pad that sits on top of the mattress, under the sheet, and it works with standard, hospital, and adjustable beds alike. Nothing to bolt on and no new furniture to buy; you keep the beds you already have.
What care teams tell us
“We had the cheap alarm pads that beeped every time someone shifted, so my aides quietly turned them off. This is different. The per-resident timeout means only real bed exits page us, so the alarms stay on and the halls stay quiet at night.”
“I was skeptical when they said we'd get fewer nuisance alarms, but once we set timeouts per resident they genuinely dropped. What sold me is the log: when a family or surveyor asks what happened overnight, I can print exactly when a resident was up and for how long.”
