The transmitters will notify headquarters around the clock if the user falls or is shaken by someone. In the case of an untoward event, Yad Sarah volunteers can call for medical assistance or other help.

The decision followed reports of physical abuse of elderly residents at Haifa’s Nave Kipat Hazahav private geriatric nursing hospital.
