Deaf guests get better reception at Red Carnation hotels thanks to Deafgard
The Red Carnation Group‘s four and five star luxury boutique hotels are located in some of London’s most prestigious locations.
Alerted to the special needs of deaf or hard of hearing guests who may be in danger of not hearing a fire alarm whilst asleep, Red Carnation Group has recently bought Deafgards for use in their hotels.
Deafgard is a moveable wireless acoustically triggered bedside unit that incorporates a high intensity strobe LEDs and a connected vibrator pad, that when placed under the pillow, vibrates to wake the sleeper upon the fire alarm sounding. The flashing LEDs and LCD provide visual indication that the fire alarm is sounding, allowing the individual to leave their room to a place of safety.
Deafgard’s unique advantage is its cost-effectiveness and flexibility. When a deaf or hard of hearing guest checks in, the Receptionist checks and shows the guest how to operate the Deafgard unit. The Deafgard unit accompanies the guest to his/her hotel room giving peace of mind should there be a fire emergency.
Deafgard assists in complying with elements of the DDA, and it is designed to respond to a fire alarm installed in conformity with the British Standard 5839
Part 1.
