Care homes have unique maintenance needs – and need to balance simple, effective operational efficiencies with consistent, high levels of care. At Voltix Services, we use IoT sensors for live building monitoring and smart maintenance processes to ensure staff and residents are safe and comfortable and all compliance requirements are met.

Facilities managers in care homes have the dual task of maintaining operational integrity and ensuring the safety of residents in care homes. While this moral imperative runs to the core of assisted living businesses, there is also a statutory responsibility here. To add an extra layer of protection for the elderly, disabled, and vulnerable, care homeowners and operators can expect to face heavy penalties for failure to meet their obligations.

While maintenance routines will differ from one facility to the next, there are a few core maintenance areas managers can use as a checklist for compliance, general safety, and achieving high-performance operations.
