Signature was delighted to win Best for Use of Technology and Digital Care Strategy for using Safety Monitoring in our care homes. Following a successful six-month pilot project, in 2023, Signature began a group-wide rollout of Safety Monitoring technology which saw CCTV cameras installed in bedrooms in each dementia community at Signature’s 10 homes. This enabled residents with dementia care needs and loved ones to be offered to ‘opt in’ to 24/7 independent video and audio monitoring. We are incredibly proud of this industry-first partnership with Careprotect, Care Campaign For The Vulnerable, where, to date, 100% of residents offered the technology have opted in, with their loved ones feeling reassured by its use and carers valuing its use as a coaching and mentoring tool.
