BIRA Care Group has grown to seven homes across South Wales and Herefordshire. As the group expanded, having reliable, consistent technology became increasingly important.
Working alongside BIRA, H2o Networks helped address connectivity challenges, improve Wi-Fi and communications, and establish a stronger technology foundation across its homes and head office.
But the real value isn’t the technology itself.
It’s staff being able to use their care-planning devices without disruption. It’s dependable communications between homes. And it’s managers spending less time dealing with problems and more time supporting their teams.
Technology should make running a care home easier, not more complicated.
The next step: The AI-Powered Connected Care Group
Now imagine taking this further.
What if the technology across your homes could work together?
- Care planning: AI helps reduce repetitive administration and makes information easier for staff to access.
- Communications: Important calls are automatically summarised, with relevant alerts brought to management’s attention.
- Nurse call: Critical events and escalations become visible alongside other operational information.
- Compliance: A central dashboard highlights issues requiring attention across multiple homes.
- AI assistance: Staff can increasingly speak to technology instead of navigating multiple systems.
These are the kinds of capabilities we are developing towards, building on reliable infrastructure and integrating with existing care systems where possible.
Less complexity. Greater certainty. More time for care.
For care operators, the opportunity isn’t simply adopting more AI or buying another software package.
It’s connecting the technology they already depend on, reducing unnecessary administration and giving management a clearer picture across their organisation.
BIRA’s experience demonstrates why getting the foundations right matters.
The next opportunity is to build on those foundations with intelligent systems that help people work more effectively.
One Connected Care Group. One Clearer Picture.
If you’re operating multiple care homes, perhaps it’s time to ask: Could our existing technology work harder for us, rather than our staff having to work harder because of it?
