As care homes become increasingly digital, strong WiFi is crucial for safe, efficient and well led care. Systems such as care records, EMAR, and nursecall are all essential for delivering high quality care…and they all rely on stable connectivity to ensure accuracy, speed of response and continuity of care.
For residents, reliable WiFi means staying connected with loved ones, enjoying online entertainment and accessing other digital resources. Consistent coverage throughout the entire care home, including outdoor areas, supports choice, independence and wellbeing.
Visitors can also benefit from guest WiFi, enabling them to share experiences and information with their loved ones and carers.
Ensuring your care home has the best WiFi is pivotal in creating a supportive, modern care environment so it’s worth getting it absolutely right.
Our specialist design approach to care home WiFi
Our care home WiFi solutions are tailored to address the unique challenges and requirements of care homes. Working with leading technology partners, we deliver secure and scalable connectivity that performs consistently across the entire home.
Our WiFi systems always consider the structure and layout of the individual care home. Whether it’s a new build at design stage or an existing home upgrading, we use our experience and expertise to optimise coverage and minimise hardware requirements.
We use what’s called a WiFi ‘heatmap’, which considers the build materials, layout, and wall thickness of a building to carefully plot each access point for optimum coverage. There will never be any dead spots with our WiFi.
We also use integrated antennas to ensure full WiFi coverage in outdoor spaces so whether residents are enjoying leisure time in the garden or staff are moving from building to building, they will always be connected.
And of course, throughout the design and implementation process, we work closely with your care home to ensure your new WiFi supports your buildings, operations, future plans and positive outcomes for residents.
