Adaptive Care are delighted to offer a unique opportunity to see, first hand, the contribution technology can make to enhancing the quality of night-time care.
WCS Care is a not-for-profit care home operator based in Warwickshire, with 13 homes across the county – three new-builds and 10 older buildings. WCS are the UK’s first care provider that follow the centralised monitoring model for their night-time care.
They introduced acoustic monitoring to one of their new-build homes, Drovers House in Rugby, in 2016 to see how it could support residents and staff. Following the success of this trial, it was included in the development of two new-build homes, including their flagship home Woodside Care Village in Warwick, which is designed using principles from De Hogeweyk in the Netherlands.
The system has since been extended to include cameras and has been installed in one of their older homes, using the wi-fi system to avoid disruptive building work. More recently, they have trialled multi-site monitoring across two locations and, based on the success of this approach, centralised monitoring from a single hub for all four homes in August 2025.
They are now introducing acoustics to a fifth home and plan to complete rollout of the system across the group by the end of 2026. For more information on WCS, visit their website https://www.wcs-care.co.uk/
