Question 1

What nurse call systems does Nexus install in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Nexus is an authorized distributor and installer for Jeron (P700 and P790 series, UL 1069 wired nurse call) and RCare (wireless nurse call and resident monitoring) systems throughout Illinois and the Chicagoland area, serving hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and memory care units.

Question 2

What is UL 1069 nurse call compliance?

Accepted Answer

UL 1069 is the Underwriters Laboratories standard for hospital signaling and nurse call equipment. UL 1069 certification ensures the nurse call system meets patient safety requirements and is required for Joint Commission accreditation and most healthcare facility licensing in Illinois.

Question 3

Does Nexus offer wireless nurse call systems for assisted living?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nexus installs RCare wireless nurse call systems — ideal for assisted living, independent living, and memory care communities where wired installations are impractical. RCare provides resident pendants, mobile caregiver apps, and real-time response-time reporting.

Question 4

What is the Nexus Nurse Call System Builder?

Accepted Answer

The Nexus Nurse Call Experience Builder is a free interactive design tool at nexusct.base44.app/nurse-call-builder. It walks healthcare operators through 7 steps — facility type, scope, pain points, workflow simulation, and generates a preliminary system recommendation (Jeron or RCare), fit score, scope summary, and budget tiers.

Question 5

How much does a nurse call system cost in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Nurse call system costs vary significantly by facility size, system type (wired vs wireless), and feature requirements. A small assisted living community may start around $15,000-$40,000 while a large skilled nursing facility can range from $80,000-$300,000+. Nexus offers a free interactive Nurse Call Builder tool to generate preliminary budget tiers for your specific facility.
