Location: Weybridge, Surrey
Property Type: Residential nursing home with private rooms and shared lounges
Requirements: Separate secure networks for staff and residents, stable Wi-Fi for Smart TVs, and wireless audio in communal areas
Key Outcome: Full coverage throughout, seamless streaming, and better resident experiences
The Challenge
This family-run nursing home in Weybridge had been gradually modernising its facilities, but Wi-Fi was holding them back. Coverage was patchy, especially in bedrooms and communal lounges, and the existing network couldn’t cope with the increasing demand from both residents and staff.
Staff required a secure and reliable connection for accessing medical records, reporting care, and conducting video calls with families. Meanwhile, residents wanted to use Smart TVs, access video calls with loved ones, and enjoy wireless music in lounges, without frustrating delays or buffering.
With no structured cabling and minimal technical infrastructure in place, the home required a robust and carefully planned solution that wouldn’t disrupt daily care or necessitate extensive building work.
Our Solution
We designed and installed a professional-grade Wi-Fi network that delivers a strong, stable signal across the entire building, with separate, secure access for staff and residents, and full support for innovative entertainment systems.
What We Did:
- Zoned Wi-Fi coverage: We installed hardwired TriFi units across all floors to ensure seamless coverage for private bedrooms, corridors, and shared spaces.
- Network separation: Residents and guests access a dedicated, filtered Wi-Fi network, while staff operate on a private, secure network for care documentation and admin tasks.
- Smart entertainment support: Smart TVs in each bedroom are now connected to stable Wi-Fi, allowing residents to stream their favourite shows or enjoy video calls with family without interruptions.
- Sonos speaker setup: We installed Sonos speakers in both lounges and connected them to the resident network. Now, carers can easily play music throughout the day, including popular wartime hits that bring comfort and joy to many of the residents.
The Result
The care home now has a reliable, secure, and future-ready network—with happier residents, more efficient staff, and far fewer tech headaches.
| Location | Speed Before | Speed After |
