Established in 1923, Solheim Lutheran Home in Los Angeles, U.S. is a nonprofit nursing home that provides assisted living for seniors. Solheim Lutheran Home spans more than two and one half acres and is home to residents from all walks of life, from former teachers to a World War II fighter pilot.
Solheim Lutheran Home is a busy place. Licensed charge nurses are on duty 24/7 here and look after nearly 200 residents. They required a surveillance camera to help keep an eye on the residents. They had several requirements that had to be met. First, images had to be high quality, day or night. Staff had to be able to quickly identify a person. The cameras had to be easy to use. Nurses needed to be able to do a quick playback and take snap shots with little training. The parking lot had to be monitored. Car make and model, license plate and the surrounding areas all needed to be obtained.
Four Messoa cameras were handpicked for this job. They were chosen for their specific abilities.
After installation was complete, the nurses got to test out the new system. It was so simple that they hardly needed any additional training to learn how to operate the cameras. "It is simple to use the camera video management. I learned how to play back videos and take snap shots in less than five minutes. Most of it is common sense," said one nurse.
Nurses are satisfied with the ease of use. Management felt like they got the most bang for their buck and residents feel more comfortable knowing that their care has been given the utmost priority.
