De-Escalation Room Intercom Systems: Supporting Safe Communication in Crisis Situations
A de-escalation room is a carefully designed safe space intended to calm and support individuals in distress, reducing the risk of harm to themselves or others. These rooms are thoughtfully equipped with features like comfortable seating, soft lighting, and calming decor to create a soothing and non-threatening environment.
Effective Communication for Crisis Management
Communication between the individual in the de-escalation room and healthcare staff is essential for ensuring safety and providing support. This is achieved through our De-Escalation Room Intercom System, which facilitates clear and secure communication without compromising the room’s calming environment.
Key Features of the De-Escalation Room Intercom System
- Anti-Ligature Communication Setup
- Ceiling-Mounted Speaker and Microphone: Ensures safe, effective communication between the individual in the room and staff outside.
- Corridor Intercom Station: Available in flush-mounted or surface-mounted options, the station allows staff to listen and speak to the patient by simply pressing the “Press to Talk” button.
