SEDCO products and systems are robust, reliable and cost effective while providing access to the latest technologies and innovations.
Our systems are simple and intuitive to use. As too much technology can worry elderly patients, SEDCO systems have been designed to seamlessly integrate into any living environment.
Aged Care Facilities using SEDCO systems benefit from; a cost effective upgrade path, significant management benefits and the lowest total cost of ownership
SedCARE Systems
SedCARE systems can be combined to provide a site wide solution for Aged Care sites.
The range of SedCARE systems incorporates our three core platforms;
• SedCARE Call Systems
• SedCARE Control Centre
• SedCARE Phones
SEDCO systems are equally suited for both high care facilities and independent living and can be used individually or incorporated into one reporting system. This flexibility allows Age Care facilities to specify the ideal SedCARE system for their organisation and to update and expand that system over time.
Because SEDCO systems are modular, our clients can also choose to purchase components separately. In a staged roll out, the most critical components can be upgraded first and then others as required.
SEDCO can upgrade our legacy systems such as the 3000, 6000 and other hard wired communication systems.
