Addressable vs Non-Addressable Systems

There are two broad categories. Non-addressable systems (sometimes called “wandering call”) simply alert staff that a call has been made somewhere on a zone — suitable for smaller sheltered schemes where the call point itself is easy to find. Addressable systems identify the exact call point by room or location, usually with date/time stamping, call duration logging, and response reporting — essential for any setting where evidencing response times is part of your regulated care quality record.
For new builds and major refurbishments across Leicestershire, we design systems from scratch — call points in every bedroom and ensuite, ceiling pull cords where appropriate, staff location and assistance-call functions, and display units or pagers configured around how your home actually runs on a night shift. For existing homes, we carry out upgrades and wire-free (radio) extensions where running fresh cabling isn’t practical without disruption to residents.
All installations are commissioned with written handover documentation, and our service contracts include annual function testing, battery replacement, and remote support — plus fast call-out response across Leicester and the surrounding county.
