Out of Bed Calls (Memory Care System)

Out of Bed Calls are generated by the Vigil Memory Care System. The Out of Bed Rule is used to monitor when a resident either gets out of bed or does not return to bed within a specified time. This rule requires a Bed Exit Sensor placed on top of the resident’s mattress under the fitted sheet and plugged into the socket on the wall.

 

 

 

Setting an Out of Bed Room Rule

  1. Log into Vigil Remote and go to Resident/Room Settings
  2. Search for the room you would like to set up and click Find
  3. Click on Memory Care Room Settings

  5. Leave the Timer Minutes at zero so an alert would go to notification devices as soon as the resident gets out of bed.
  6. Click in the ON field under Period 1. Use the arrows to adjust the time of day you want the rule to start being monitored. Use the 24-hour clock. E.g. 19:00 is 7pm, 6:00 is 6am etc.

  8. Click Save.
  9. Test the sensor in the room.

Tips

  • If you want the rule on for 24 hours a day, make the ON and OFF times match. E.g. 1:00 – 1:00.
  • Setting the time to 00:00 will clear the time. Do not set any time to 00:00 (midnight).
  • Use double sided Velcro to keep the bed sensor in place on the bed.
