Acoustic Monitoring at WCS Care: Acoustic Monitoring
WCS Care
12th Apr 2024
Welcome to this first piece of a two-part case study to discover how we helped WCS Care successfully reduce falls by an incredible 55% per year during night and day, with the use of our industry leading CLB Acoustic Monitoring!
WCS Care is a not-for-profit care home provider in Warwickshire with 13 care homes. They are known for implementing new technology which has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of their residents. Adaptive Care’s CLB Acoustic Monitoring system has been installed at three new-build homes and the Wi-Fi enabled version was retrofitted at an older home, where minimising disruption to residents already living there was a primary aim. This was the first home in the UK to have the Wi-Fi enabled version of CLB acoustic monitoring and it was a great success.
Reduce falls, improve care & efficiency
WCS Care’s motivation for the installation of Acoustic Monitoring from CLB was based on the improved quality of night-time care the system offered to their residents. The system was retro-fitted at their first home in 2016 where residents benefited from the system on the first night with carers able to give emotional support to a distressed resident promptly. In the first year of use, this home saw a reduction in falls at night of 34%. WCS has also evidenced a reduction in falls at another home of 55% at night and during the day, demonstrating that improved sleep contributes to a reduction in falls during the day too.
Soon after installation; over a period of 4 months the same home recorded no night-time falls. A clear demonstration that the system, alongside WCS’s approach, is embedded and delivering care quality and health improvements to residents.
