Franklin, NC, July 22, 2016 --(PR.com)-- TekTone®’s Tek-CARE®500 wireless emergency call system received the UL® 2560 listing for use by assisted and independent living facilities. The listing provides a further layer of safety and security for those facilities that require a more flexible system for mobile and permanent residents.

Systems carrying the UL® 2560 listing are tested to high standards specifically created for the senior living industry. Residents and care providers alike can be confident that the system installed at their facility will include the features that they need and the quality of product required to meet those needs.

The Tek-CARE®500 wireless emergency call system uses the Tek-CARE® software and integration platform, and wireless devices provided by Inovonics.
