TECHNOLOGY IN READING CARE HOME Maintaining socialisation Communication technology has come on leaps and bounds again in recent years, especially when it comes to staying in touch visually with our friends, family and colleagues. Our team are always looking at ways in which we can enhance, simplify and improve our communications and residents regularly enjoy some facetime with relatives and even enjoy a Zoom quiz with our sister homes around the country. SELF-SANITISING CARE LODGE Keeping people in touch, always Due to the events of 2020, we have taken great care to ensure that socialisation and visiting can continue and that things are able to carry on as normally as possible. Our care lodge, 'Little Shinfield' is the same luxury standard you'll find inside the home, but is situated in our lovely gardens. It is self-cleaning and allows people the much-loved social time with their friends and family, during a period of social restriction. IN-ROOM TECHNOLOGY Using tech to improve systems Technology in our care home allows us to improve our already stringent processes and systems, meaning that less time is spent on admin and more is spent on care. Acoustic monitoring and pressure sensing are just two of the many ways in which we can now use technology to provide better care through prevention and planning. Speak to us to find out how else we are using tech to improve the lives of everyone at Shinfield View. EXPLORING SHINFIELD AND BEYOND A central point in the community Shinfield View sits overlooking the green in the village, next to a house which long ago belonged to Catherine of Aragon - you can now see her depicted in our logo and also in Aragon's bar and bistro within the home. Our residents have enjoyed rich lives, often deeply involved with their local communities, so enabling them to continue those traditions is very important to them. It may be as simple as waving to the school children as they pass each morning, or visiting the lawn bowls club on a sunny afternoon. Often we will go further afield, to a historic site, or a place of worship in one of the Shinfield fleet, but wherever we do and whatever we do, we always want our residents to continue to be and feel part of the wider community they have enjoyed for so long.
