Embracing Technology to Enhance Homecare Services
The Role of Technology in Modern Homecare
Technology is revolutionising homecare, offering innovative solutions that improve care quality and efficiency. At Oakwell Homecare, we integrate technology wherever it is helpful to provide superior and convenient care services.
How Technology Enhances Homecare
Access to the home: Electronic keypads or fobs can help to alleviate the anxiety of having to get to the door to let in carers and visitors.
CCTV and Smart doorbells: Cameras can enhance the security of a vulnerable person’s home, and smart devices can vet visitors remotely and increase ease of communication.
Medication Management: Automated reminders and dispensers can help ensure that prescribed treatments are taken correctly and on time.
Remote Monitoring: Devices within the home, where appropriate, can allow family and friends to monitor service users’ health and wellbeing in real-time, ensuring prompt responses to any issues.
Oakwell Homecare’s Technological Measures
Digital Care Plans: Customisable care plans are accessible via a secure online portal for both carers and family members.
Electronic logins: Our software electronically stamps each care visit to guarantee it happened on time and at the location agreed.
Smart Home Integration: Devices like smart lights and voice assistants enhance safety and convenience.
Most importantly, an attitude of openness and willingness to embrace new technology that makes a positive difference in the lives of our service users.
Safety and wellbeing is the priority
Incorporating technology into homecare services enhances both the quality and safety of care. Oakwell Homecare is committed to leveraging these innovations to provide the best possible care for our service users.
We’re always willing to have conversations about the technology you want to see or use within your home, and how we can accommodate those solutions to make sure that your care is enhanced. Contact us to learn more about our tech-driven homecare solutions in Birmingham.
