“They take care of you every step of the way, from understanding our initial needs, creating a customised quote specific to the venue in question and implementing it to the highest standards. We look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship with them.”

The Brief

With an already longstanding relationship spanning over 15 years, we work daily with Care UK for supplying, maintaining, and installing a whole host of audio and visual solutions, alongside small domestic appliances and white goods in both new build properties and their existing homes.

At Oat Hill Mews, Care UK’s new care home launching in Leicestershire, and following specific site technical specifications in other UK homes, we were asked to provide a complete range of Smart TVs to be installed in Oat Hill Mews’ luxurious bedrooms, lounge areas and cafes.

Finally, in the reception area, alongside a large Smart TV screen, we have provided the Oat Hill Mews site with an industry-leading commercial digital signage media player.

The Delivery

As soon as you head into the reception area, you are immediately greeted by a stunning Mitchell & Brown 43” Full HD Android Smart TV that is powered by MySign’s exceptional digital signage software and commercial grade media player.

A leader in the digital signage industry, MySign’s software has the capacity to display a wide range of information on the screen at once thanks to their incredible digital signage templates.

Whether it is showing where residents are situated for their incoming guests, displaying trips, showing on-site staff and activities that are upcoming or simply showing current events around the world, MySign’s intuitive digital signage has all the capabilities to accomplish this in a clear and concise fashion.

The benefits don’t stop there, as the cloud-based software has the functionality for members of staff to easily schedule, modify or update the content with minimal fuss.

Dependent on the time of day, MySign's flexible templated software is able to provide up-to-date weather forecasts for current and a future five-day forecast.

Looking into all of the bedrooms, lounges and reception area at Oat Hill Mews, we have installed a Mitchell & Brown’s 43” Full HD Android Smart TV.

When speaking to Care UK, we found out their non-negotiables for selecting a TV, and the 43” Smart TV was the perfect solution for all of their requirements.

Another great feature of the specified Mitchell & Brown TVs, and one that was highly appealing to Care UK, is the seven-year warranty that comes with each screen.

Equipped with Freeview Play, residents have access to the past seven days of on-demand programming from channels like BBC, ITV and Channel 4. This is perfect for people who want to rewatch or catchup on the latest series dramas who missed it going out live.

With over 60,000 hours of TV available on demand for free, Freeview Play also gives suggestions to each user, which residents can use to potentially find a new series to enjoy at their own leisure.

Combined with state-of-the-art Smart TVs is the installation of Peerless’ Articulating Display Wall Mount in each of the lounge areas and selected bedrooms. These mounts combine both viewing flexibility and installation ease. Peerless’ innovative Hook-and-Hang system allows for the easiest installation of the TV onto the bracket. Securing the TV in position has never been simpler as well, with a ratcheting handle providing locking tilt capabilities to allow for quick adjustments when reducing glare on the TV and optimizing the viewing angle, which is key in the lounge areas in particular.

In the remaining bedrooms, we have installed B-Tech’s seamless Flat Screen Wall Mount with Tilt and Swivel capabilities.

Along with impressive full screen rotation that allows for quick and easy repositioning, B-Tech’s flat screen wall mount has integrated cable management to help keep all of Oat Hill Mews’ bedrooms free of loose cables and contribute to the clean aesthetic.
