The challenge

What care homes are up against.

Residents like to know what's happening today, and families want to feel connected. Paper notices are small and easily missed.

What the screens need to do

  • Today's date, activities and menu in large, readable text
  • Visiting times and family information
  • Birthdays, celebrations and photos

Where the screens go

Three screens, three jobs.

Each screen gets its own playlist, so the message fits the spot it's in. Add more whenever you like.

In the lounge

Today's date, weather and activities.

In the dining room

Today's menu.

At reception

Visiting information and news for families.

A day on the screens

Schedules do the changing, not you.

An example week for care homes. Each row is a playlist and when it plays; the screens switch on their own.
