Since 1978, Database Systems Corp. (DSC) has been providing the latest telecommunications products and services for thousands of clients in the United States and throughout the world.

DSC provides a calling service called eCARE. This online program contacts senior citizens at home to ensure they are OK. DSC now offers our eCARE service world-wide.

eCARE is ideally suited for small to medium communities where there are a limited number of seniors enrolled. For larger communities and service organizations, DSC offers affordable CARE Phone Systems.

Senior Community Groups can benefit from this service. Instead of managing computer systems, modems and telephone lines, administrators can focus on the enrollment and management of seniors within the community. Administration can be performed on any device that has internet access from virtually any location.

Senior citizens can enroll in this program through local community organizations such as their police department. Enrollment is easy, yet it provides the senior with flexible calling schedules and multiple contacts in the event of an emergency.

DSC has prepared a comparison between CARE Systems vs eCARE services. Rather than using a dedicated phone line attached to your computer, eCARE calls are made from a bank of phone lines maintained at our call center. Considering the cost of today's phone lines, several seniors could be called with just that savings alone.

• No phone line(s) or monthly phone bills.
  
• No software licensing or maintenance.
  
• No computer and telecom need be purchased and maintained.
  

eCARE is a service that uses our technology and software to place calls to seniors living at home alone. The senior is instructed to acknowledge the call using the "Press 1" option on the phone keypad. If the call is not answered or the senior does not acknowledge the call, an alert sequence is initiated that calls or emails family or friends of the senior.

The senior can also call our toll-free number and check in using our I'M OK eCARE feature. If the senior has no one to check in on them, the calls and alerts can be sent to the eCARE management center which is typically the local police or sheriff's office. An alert is also posted online informing the center that the senior did not respond.
