CareCall Emergency Response

The INS Group currently incorporates INS LifeGuard, provider of next generation SmartHome Medical Alarm and TeleHealth Systems, and INS Technologies, developer of health-related technologies. The new INS CareCall division will handle the supply and maintenance of your existing alarm hardware, whilst monitoring of any alarms will be provided through INS LifeGuard’s unique Emergency Response Centre, which is staffed by qualified nurses.

BaptistCare has come to the decision that whilst the organisation continues to provide services that support people to live independently at home, the CareCall service is outside the direct range of services which we intend to directly provide in the long term. We decided that the INS Group (INS LifeGuard) who are specialists in this area, could provide our valued customers with additional value and support

There is no change in your current CareCall cost or payment structure. The fortnightly recurrent charge that BaptistCare direct debit from your bank account will continue to cover the cost of your current CareCall service.

No action is required by you, your package will cover the cost of CareCall as it currently does. There is no change for the service for at least the next 12 months.

No, your service will continue as per usual, we encourage you to wear your pendant at all times (even in the shower) and push the pendant if you need any assistance. INS would like you to send a test alarm at least once a month. Simply push your pendant and when the nurse answers, just tell them you are testing.

Yes, when your pendant is pressed in an emergency or health related issue your call will now be handled by a qualifed nurse who will:

1. Be able to give you medical advice
2. Dispatch emergency services if required, while staying in constant communication with you
3. Notify your family and other caregivers at your request
4. You will have access to a free health information line and Chat line. The INS Group also have a range of additional services which we’d encourage you to explore on their website www.theinsgroup.com.au
