Orbital Care Webinar – The Ultimate Guide To Wi-Fi For Care Homes

Join Orbital for a Free Webinar

Wi-Fi within a care home setting isn’t just vital for staff, but can also be a lifeline for residents who rely on the internet to speak with relatives and GP’s.

Ensuring Wi-Fi reaches even the furthest point of your building will enable your staff members to carry an iPad or tablet from room to room to do care checks or update care records without the concern that the connection will drop. You can use laptops or desktops anywhere within the home without being restricted where you can work.

By having a suitable Wi-Fi connection that reaches every room in your care home, your residents will be able to use any devices they have (laptop, mobile, tablet etc.) to stay connected to the outside world, which is vital for morale and reducing isolation.

Topics:

• What is the difference between your internet connection and Wi-Fi.
• Factors which can affect Wi-Fi within your Care Home including Interference and channels.
