Care Home Technology: How Courtney Thorne Innovates Care

As one of the UK’s foremost innovators of nurse call systems, Courtney Thorne has a great deal of experience in dealing with the healthcare industry – and among our audience base, one of our most important customer groups are those in the care home industry. With our range of different nurse call systems centred on supporting the care home industry, we have been creating innovative care home technology for many years now, supporting carers in providing the best level of care they possibly can. In this article, we’ll be exploring some of the many different ways that our care home technology has innovated care and supported nurses and residents alike.

What is Care Home Technology?

Care home technology can be loosely defined as any digital, mechanical, or technological innovations that serve the purpose of improving the standard of living for residents in care homes, and also the standard of care that nurses can provide for their residents. Care home technology can take the form of anything, from providing powerful WiFi access throughout all communal spaces and living quarters for residents, to extensive digital care records that allow nurses and carers to easily and reliably keep track of their residents’ health. 

Our Care Technology Solutions

At Courtney Thorne, the care home technology that we provide the industry with is our range of modern, high-tech nurse call systems for care homes. As a form of care technology, our nurse call systems for care homes bring several benefits to residents and nurses both – with a whole range of different solutions available. We innovate care home technology through the manufacture and installation of the following systems:

Altra Care System

The Altra Care nurse call system for care homes is just one of the examples of innovative care technology in our catalogue. The Altra Care system is a solution specifically for the needs of a care home environment, and comes equipped with a wide variety of different assistive technologies and softwares to help your nurses provide residents with the care they need. The Altra Care system innovates care by providing a full-stack solution for responding to resident’s calls. With mini touch screens, wearables, and a simple and seamless installation process, the Altra Care system combines intuitive smartphone technology and real-time reporting – allowing nurses to respond to resident’s needs quicker and more efficiently.

Connect System

The Connect nurse call system is Courtney Thorne’s latest nurse call system for care homes, having just launched earlier this year in 2024. At Courtney Thorne, we are always looking to expand our product offering for the care home market, and the Connect system is simply the most recent example of our innovative care home technology in action. With our Connect system, we took on a greater approach of customer led development. Research is always at

the forefront of our organisation, and this  solution was developed in conjunction with our customers – ensuring they meet the exact needs of residents, staff and managers alike. 

The Connect system was designed to innovate care for all of these people; built to be an all-in-one solution, the system is designed to integrate easily with most care planning software applications, while also coming equipped with the latest in fall detection and reporting technology. The modular nature of the Connect system also means that it can be reconfigured and added to with ease, allowing it to be built bespoke to the needs of any care home environment. 

CT Cloud: Remote Reporting

We understand that the time and focus of care home operators is valuable, and not to be misused. The final piece of care home technology we’ll be discussing allows care staff to better focus their time and energy by taking the admin work out of their hands, automating and optimising the process of analytics and reporting within one easy-to use and intuitive solution. 

CT Cloud is our remote reporting solution, offering a variety of features such as remote nurse call reporting, data automation, staff performance monitoring, and the ability to easily generate customisable reports covering all areas of your care home’s performance; from call types, response times, shift patterns, comparison of sites, and much more. The CT Cloud also utilises ultra-secure and reliable cloud-based technology, automatically backing up all of this data to make sure that it’s safe and easy to access at all times. 

With all of the previously alluded to products in our range of nurse call systems for care homes, we at Courtney Thorne aim to innovate the landscape of care for care home operators, staff, and residents. Our care technology, systems, and solutions work in tandem with your talented teams of carers and nurses to provide safe, secure, and welcoming environments for residents, whilst simultaneously providing them with all the tools they need to monitor, optimise, and improve their services. For more direct evidence of this, you can visit our case studies section to have a read of some of the many success stories we’ve had; from care homes benefiting from the installation of our nurse call system solutions.
