Perran Bay Care Home boosting companionship with technology
British Red Cross research highlights the huge impact of the pandemic on loneliness – it states, “41% of UK adults feel lonelier since the start of lockdown and millions are going a fortnight without having a meaningful conversation”.
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened loneliness and isolation for the most vulnerable in our communities and sharpened the focus on how we can and must use independent-living technology.
The need for a future-proof solution is increasing
It is paramount that we create compelling solutions to plug the gaps we face to connect homes for independent living, increase digital inclusion and manage the increased demand on social care.
Perran Bay launched the GenieConnect® service on 28th July 2021 to help combat loneliness by delivering more and better quality-care to their residents.
