Enterprise Grade WiFi for Care
- Connected Care Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade WiFi,built for modern care
Full-coverage, healthcare-grade wireless networks that everything else in your home depends on.
Nurse call alerts, fall detection, digital care planning, telephony, and family video calls all rely on one thing working properly in the background: your WiFi. We design, install, and manage networks built for the way care homes actually run.
- Why this matters now
The invisible foundation every connected care system depends on
Care homes have quietly become some of the most connected environments around. Nurse call alerts, fall detection sensors, digital care planning, medication systems, staff phones, and video calls between residents and their families all rely on a wireless network that simply does not drop out.
The trouble is, most care homes are still running on domestic-grade routers never designed to cover a large building, let alone carry safety-critical alerts. When WiFi is unreliable, everything built on top of it becomes unreliable too.
- Coverage
Healthcare-grade hardware, with no dead zones
Built on wireless hardware designed for demanding environments, not domestic use. Access points are suited to both indoor and outdoor placement, giving full coverage across the home with fewer devices needed overall.
- Purpose-built access points for large, multi-room buildings
- Coverage across bedrooms, communal areas, gardens, and staff-only spaces
- Discreet hardware that blends into the care environment
A network built for the size and shape of your home, not a domestic router stretched too far.

- Management
Managed centrally, fixed remotely
Every access point and switch is managed through a secure cloud platform, so most issues can be diagnosed and resolved without an engineer setting foot on site. Passwords, device access, and network settings can be updated quickly, whenever they need to be.
- Remote monitoring and troubleshooting as standard
- Quick changes to passwords, access, and settings without waiting for a callout
- No expensive on-site controllers to install or maintain
Fewer engineer visits, faster fixes, and a network your team can trust.
- Site surveys
Designed properly, before a single access point goes up
Every installation starts with a proper site survey and heatmapping, using industry-standard tools to work out exactly how many access points are needed and precisely where they should go.
- Full voice and video coverage mapped out before installation
- No guesswork on placement, and no gaps discovered after the event
- Saves money on retrofitting, extra cabling, or additional hardware later
Getting it right the first time means fewer surprises and lower costs down the line.
- Roaming
Staff stay connected as they move around the building
Care staff rarely stay in one place, and their devices shouldn’t lose connection every time they walk between rooms. Seamless roaming keeps phones, tablets, and alert devices connected as staff move around the home, so nurse call alerts, care planning apps, and calls are never interrupted.
One connection that follows your team, not one they have to keep reconnecting to.
- Scalability
Grows with your home, without licence fees getting in the way
Whether you’re opening a new site or expanding into a new part of the building, more access points can be added from the cloud portal whenever you need them, without upgrading hardware or paying additional software licence fees.
- Start with the coverage you need now, and add more as you grow
- No forced upgrades or licence charges to add devices
- Predictable costs as your estate expands
A network that scales at the pace of your business, not the other way round.

The network everything else in your home relies on
A care home’s WiFi isn’t just for browsing anymore. It’s the foundation that Charis Nurse Call, the Nursecall Messaging System (NMS), Silver Shield fall detection, digital care planning, and telephony all sit on top of. Get the network right, and everything built on it becomes more reliable too.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about care home WiFi
Our WiFi already covers most of the building, do we need this?
Most homes have some coverage, but general coverage and reliable, healthcare-grade coverage are different things. If nurse call alerts, care planning apps, or calls ever drop out in certain rooms or corridors, that’s usually a sign the network wasn’t designed to carry safety-critical systems in the first place.
How long does installation take?
It starts with a site survey to map out exactly what your building needs, so timelines vary by size and layout. We’ll give you a clear plan and schedule before any work begins, designed to minimise disruption to residents and staff.
Will this disrupt residents or day-to-day care while it's installed?
Access points are installed with care taken to avoid disruption to residents and daily routines. Most of the work happens quietly in the background, and we’ll always agree timings with your team in advance.
Can this network support Silver Shield and Charis at the same time?
Yes. The network is designed to carry the connected care systems your home relies on, including fall detection, nurse call alerts, care planning, and telephony, all running reliably alongside each other.
What happens if something goes wrong after installation?
The network is centrally managed, so most issues can be diagnosed and fixed remotely, often before your team even notices. If a site visit is ever needed, our support team will arrange it.
