Average Response Time of 2-Minutes, 54-Seconds Nets Silver for 6thStraight Quarter
TYRONE, Pa. – Colonial Courtyard at Tyrone earned IntegraCare’s Silver Level Award for its prompt handling of residents’ callbell requests during the fourth quarter of 2025.
When a resident needs assistance, whether it’s for routine help or an emergency, they can push a pendant they carry on them. During the quarter, Colonial Courtyard at Tyrone’s team responded in person to each call in an average of 2 minutes, 54 seconds to attain Silver Level status for a sixth consecutive quarter.
“When a resident presses the callbell, it’s a moment of connection,” said Larry Rouvelas, CEO of IntegraCare, which operates Colonial Courtyard at Tyrone. “It tells us someone needs support, comfort or simply a helping hand. Our responsibility is to respond promptly and compassionately, because consistent, caring responses are what make residents feel secure and truly supported every day.”

“A callbell is a simple way for residents to let us know they need something, and our job is to be there without hesitation,” Rouvelas said. “That steady, dependable response builds confidence for residents and reassurance for families, and it’s a daily reflection of the care we’re committed to providing.”
