Besides providing Latchkey Children calling services, Database Systems Corp. (DSC) offers an affordable and expandable telephone reassurance system called CARE (Call Reassurance). CARE systems have been installed at many police and sheriff's departments throughout the U.S. These systems are capable of calling seniors to check on their well-being. CARE systems also can check in on latchkey kids and remind seniors to take take their medications.

Our CARE program is a voice broadcasting service that automatically calls a resident and plays a recorded prompt, asking "Are You OK?". If the resident answers the call, the system knows automatically that resident is OK. The CARE recipient can optionally press a phone key to acknowledge that they are OK as well or request emergency or non emergency contact.

The entry level CARE phone system is called the WIZARD phone system and is configured with 4 analog phone lines, capable of calling up to 4 individuals at a time. There are two types of CARE phone systems that DSC provides. Although the Basic CARE system is limited to the call reassurance program only, it can be upgraded in the future if your telephone reassurance needs expand or if you elect to use this system for emergency broadcasting.

Since our advanced PRO CARE system is capable of performing emergency broadcasting, it is important that this system can grow. Our CARE application and database can be easily ported to our PACER Phone system which supports multiple T1 digital phone lines.
