Majesticare Luxury Care Homes are one of the first care groups in the UK to introduce Alexa Smart Properties for Senior Living in to Cavendish Park, their award winning care home in Evesham.
Collaborating with leading healthcare technology provider, the Ascom Group the integration of Alexa Smart Properties is a pioneering advancement to improve service levels and the resident experience.
Alexa Smart Properties has been developed to enable care home residents to feel more informed, independent and connected. Through simple voice commands, residents can use Alexa to easily connect with family, friends and those who care for them. Empowered through independence, residents can keep up to date with local and international news, research hobbies and interests, listen to the radio and fundamentally, enjoy an easy way to call family and friends, enquire what upcoming activities are in the home and even ask what’s on today’s menu!
Angela Boxall, CEO of Majesticare commented. “We’re so proud to be one of the UK’s first care groups to introduce Alexa Smart Properties into our care homes. Majesticare are dedicated to innovation in care, enhancing efficiency and providing independence and choice to our residents.
It’s so important when a loved one moves into a care home, that friendships remain, and families stay connected which is why the introduction of Alexa Smart Properties for Senior Living at our Evesham home is so wonderful!”
Nicolas Vanden Abeele, CEO of Ascom Group said: “We are excited to bring together Alexa Smart Properties and Ascom’s state-of-the art Ofelia software to offer a game-changing solution for senior living. With Alexa Smart Properties we see the potential to further optimize operations and to reduce costs, ensuring that resident experience remains front and centre of care homes.”
The integration of Alexa Smart Properties with Ascom’s orchestration platform for alert management and digital workflow design is pioneering. The solution can help care operators further improve the service they provide. Alexa Smart Properties for Senior Living also enables residents to stay in touch with their loved ones outside the property thanks to Alexa-to-Alexa calling. Family members can easily get in touch and see their loved ones via video calling, bringing them peace of mind. Alexa Smart Properties can also help home managers to tailor resident experiences and support engagement by displaying activities, menus, and reminders.
“We believe the intuitive and accessible nature of voice and Alexa has the potential to help and delight customers in many scenarios, in and outside of the home,” said Meryem Tom, Director Alexa Enterprise EU, Amazon. “We’re excited to extend the experiences that customers already love to European care homes and assisted living facilities and give providers new ways to support their staff while delivering personalized care for their residents.”
