With so many features and just some items that need just a little more tweaking this could be the best program I came across in my 15 years of senior living experience with the use of technology for the communities. Pros great source and information to be placed on residents' phones and computers. Cons Announcements sent to residents' emails could just show the announcement no matter how many have been posted instead of having to wait 30min - an hour in between posts of announcements.

Wellness and Resident Services Hospital & Health Care ### "It's everything we need" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 17, 2023 Customer service is wonderful. I have made suggestions of something that I think would be useful and they take that information to their team and have incorporated or made the changes. They listen. And they are very timely in their responses. Pros Icon captures everything our organization needs and it is so easy. I really like that I am able to retrieve so much information once I schedule an activity on the calendar. I can take attendance, assign dementions of wellness, retrieve data and run reports. It is extremely efficient and very user friendly. Cons I can't think of a thing I don't like. It does it all. Reasons for choosing Icon It did everything we needed.

Life Enrichment Director Hospital & Health Care ### "Good if you have the equipment for it." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 16, 2023 It has had it's ups and it's downs. Mostly since just having to play with the program to learn it on our own, we have been able to do this and are doing fine now. Pros It took us about 18 months to get all things in order and up and running with Caremerge who we started with which in turn was connected to Screencloud which icon took over a few months ago. When icon took over we lost a lot of our templates that we had set up and now we loose media that we pull up for usage . It has been challenging switching but we have learned the ropes and are handling the screens and process good now. We are able to do what we are needing to do now which is to inform our residents of activities. Cons When talking with the robot helper you can't get them to understand what you are requesting. It takes several times to get to the root of your problem. Sometimes I just give up and email my contact at caremerge. Reasons for choosing Icon I guess they thought it was the best for the money they wanted to spend Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Resident Services Director Hospital & Health Care ### "Icon review from Maggi Blizzard, Trinity Oaks" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 13, 2023 Our residents are happy overall with the product. it is easy to navigate. Am having problems with deleting folks that have moved or died. After taking them out with the transition timeline, they still appear when you scroll through the directory. need help with that. Pros Product is fairly easy to use. We do not integrate with other systems at this time. Help desk is extremely helpful. Management team is hard to get ahold of. Do not get back to you in a timely manner. Cons Having to delete and reload a document is time consuming and inconvenient. Having all kinds of issues with the Alexa portion of this program. Still not able to get them up and running. Very disappointing. Not happy with the maintenance potion of the program and the cost to integrate with another program is very costly. Reasons for choosing Icon Overall presentation, similarity to our previous product, cost.

Activities Director Hospital & Health Care ### "Caremerge (Icon) Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 13, 2023 Very straightforward and user-friendly (both from a resident standpoint and admin) Pros I love how easy it is to use, not only from an administrations standpoint, but from a resident standpoint as well. Not to mention, the staff is extremely accessible and helpful as questions arise! Cons Sometimes it makes accessible information that only administrators should have access to (like religious preferences, relationship status, etc.) Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 8, 2023 Pros It is easy to add new users, it is easy to send out mass communication, and we received high marks for communication throughout the pandemic. Cons There are little nuances that need tweaking. For example, when I add a new staff member, it says I am not authorized to view their profile. I have to log off and then log back in to be able to add their cell number in their profile.

Life Enrichment Director Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Basic use is fine, missing opportunity for higher quality product" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 March 8, 2023 Nice people. Product seems to be underdeveloped prior to being rolled out. Changes as so slow to take place. Pros Offers different calendars. Does not have any major bugs. I like the groups and community engagement. Cons Print formatting limited and comes out terribly for weekly and daily. We have to copy and paste into a different document and format EVERYTHING. No customizable options to meet our community's needs. Its a boxed program with limitations for improvement. Unable to avoid residents signing up for activities in future months. No easy way to view calendars and staffing scheduling - color calendars differently to help would be great but not an option. The app is terrible. Residents deeply dislike the dining reservation option. Also there is no easy way to view attendance on the app. You can easily take attendance, but cannot view the people that signed up. Also, the app and website both time out and log you out within 5-10 minutes causing you to log in and start over going through the many screens. Minor things include where the save button is. It is easy to miss and often things don't get saved because it is not visible.

Pros i like the fact that i can communicate with the staff about important meeting reminders, scheduling, and many other key topics when i cannot get them all in the building at once. Cons i wish they had a mobile app feature that could be utilized for remote purposes.

The ability to instantly notify all parties of any pertinent information has been streamlined due to VoiceFriend. We do all family, patient and staff notifications through VoiceFriend. Pros Our facility uses VoiceFriend daily to communicate staffing openings for our nursing department. We are able to instantly contact all staff in a seamless manner to alert them for availability to work. Cons The formatting is all screwed up when you cut/paste from a Word doc into Voicefriend. Groups could be easier to format. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor February 28, 2022 Hi Jacqueline -- Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Much appreciated! I will share your insight on challenges related to cutting and pasting from Word with our product team so they can develop a solution.
