Integrated Protection Maintenance Services (IPL), an Amthal Group company, is pleased to work with WCS Care, for the ongoing safety of staff, residents, and visitors.
WCS
WCS is a registered charity and runs 13 care homes across Warwickshire, UK, eleven offering residential and short-term respite care and a further two for younger adults with physical disabilities or long-term conditions.
IPL currently provides maintenance to three of WCS’s homes for their biometric access solution, Castle Brook, Woodside Care Village, and Fairfield.
Robust security measures
Care home security is important as we need robust security measures that don’t affect the ambiance"
Trudi Harrow, Head of ICT at WCS Care, said “Care home security is really important to us as we need robust security measures that don’t affect the ambiance of the setting, or residents’ independence."
Trudi Harrow adds, “We rely on our partners to work with us continuously to assess and maintain our security measures. IPL is a professional partner we trust, as they go above and beyond on a 24/7 basis. We are very grateful to the team, and there’s the potential to work together on other projects going forward.”
Paxton access control solution
On three sites, IPL has installed and now maintains an integrated Paxton access control solution to operate through its dedicated building management system.
The system is simple to operate and seamlessly blends with its surroundings to ensure staff and residents can operate everyday routines.
Need for security systems
Ally Keating, IPL Senior Technical Engineer, said “Care homes have unique requirements when it comes to security. By their very nature, they want to create a welcoming environment, yet at the same time, it is where dependent and often very frail individuals live."
She adds, "Keeping them safe, without impacting their everyday requirements, or their carers and visitors, is paramount."
Fit-for-purpose solution
We work in partnership to ensure all aspects of the access control and biometric systems will respond quickly"
Ally Keating continues, “For us, as part of our commitment to customer excellence, we create a scheduled maintenance programme with charities such as WCS, who provide exemplary good care."
She adds, "We work in partnership to ensure all aspects of the access control and biometric systems are fit for purpose and will respond quickly as and when required. This is all without disturbing the care home facilities or the essential services they offer.”
