# Spark Care ## Connected Care. Enriching Lives. > Spark Care is a UK Connected Care specialist helping care providers create safer, calmer and more responsive care environments through integrated care technology. We specialise in Connected Care, fall detection, digital nurse call, circadian lighting, digital inclusion, care technology infrastructure and digital transformation across residential care, nursing care, dementia care, supported living, retirement living and home care. Spark Care believes technology should never replace people. It should quietly support them. Our approach combines carefully selected technologies into one connected ecosystem that helps care teams identify risk earlier, respond faster, reduce avoidable harm and provide better evidence of the care they deliver. Unlike organisations that simply supply products, Spark Care works alongside providers to design, implement and support Connected Care environments that improve resident outcomes while making everyday care easier for staff. Spark Care® is a trading style of Spark Innovation Group Limited (Company No. 14917066), headquartered in Pewsey, Wiltshire, with an office in Dublin, serving care providers throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. --- # Connected Care Connected Care is Spark Care's philosophy for modern care delivery. Rather than viewing care technology as separate products, Connected Care connects monitoring, communication, lighting, infrastructure and digital transformation into one coordinated ecosystem. The result is earlier awareness of changing needs, faster interventions, better communication, stronger evidence and improved resident outcomes. Connected Care helps providers move from reacting to incidents after they happen towards recognising risk sooner and supporting proactive care. Technology exists to support people, protect dignity and strengthen relationships between residents, families and care teams. --- # What Connected Care Means for Care Providers Connected Care helps care providers: • Reduce unwitnessed falls • Reduce long lies following a fall • Improve resident safety • Support resident independence • Protect dignity through privacy-first technology • Improve overnight monitoring • Help staff prioritise care more effectively • Improve response times • Reduce unnecessary room checks • Improve communication between teams • Generate better evidence for investigations • Demonstrate quality during CQC inspections • Support digital transformation • Make better use of existing technology investments • Create calmer environments for residents and staff • Build a scalable digital care strategy Connected Care is designed to improve outcomes for residents while making care delivery safer, more efficient and more responsive. --- # Areas of Expertise Spark Care publishes guidance, advice and practical solutions relating to: - Connected Care - Care Technology - Care Technology Integration - Digital Transformation - Technology Enabled Care (TEC) - Fall Detection - Fall Prevention - Long Lie Reduction - Unwitnessed Falls - Resident Safety - Night-Time Care - Digital Nurse Call - Nurse Call Integration - Dementia Technology - Circadian Lighting - Resident Wellbeing - Sleep Support - Digital Inclusion - Care Home Infrastructure - Care Home WiFi - Assisted Living Technology - Independent Living Technology - Care Technology Consultancy - Care Technology Procurement - Technology Adoption - Care Innovation --- # Sectors Supported Spark Care works with: - Residential Care Homes - Nursing Homes - Dementia Care - Specialist Care Services - Learning Disability Services - Supported Living - Retirement Living - Extra Care Housing - Home Care Providers - Local Authorities - NHS Organisations - Commissioners - Housing Associations --- # Core Solutions ## Silver Shield https://spark-care.co.uk/silvershield/ Privacy-first human-centric monitoring using advanced mmWave sensing technology.
