What Should You Do With Your Parents’ Home If They Are Put Into Care?

Putting a loved one into care is an incredibly emotional and stressful experience; I know, we had to do make the decision on behalf of my mum when dad was suffering with Parkinsons and dementia.

In mum’s case we were lucky, she could still afford to stay in their home even when paying for dad to be in a special care home. As mum’s home was big enough to create a bedroom downstairs and we had a loo on the same level, eventually as dad’s illness progressed, we were able to bring him home for the last few months.

What Should You Look For In A Home Intercom System?

All call Intercom systems distribute the voice throughout the room stations all at once. This is done by activating the talk button from the room station. These systems usually do not allow the end user to select the room station to communicate. The only way to select a room station for private call will be from the master unit only.

Selective Call or Automatic Selective Call

Home Theater System

A selective call Home Intercom system allows the end user to selective a room station to communicate privately between room stations. This is done by dialing the room station by number. Some programming maybe required. An automatic selective call Home Intercom system allows the end user to talk privately between room stations. But the end user does not dial a selected room station. The automatic selective call initiates as an All Call once the talk button pressed. Once the call is answered from another room stations all the other room stations will go back to original settings and the call is now private.
