Akari Care and North East and Cumbria ICB embrace ALM

Princes Court is an intermediate care facility offering Residential, Nursing, Dementia and Respite care.

In 2022, with support from North Tyneside CCG, Princes Court were supplied with state-of-the-art Assistive Living Monitoring Technology (ALM) to further enhance care delivery.

Assistive Living Monitoring is a non-invasive monitoring system promoting quality and safety whilst supporting independence. The ALM components installed at Princes Court are:

• Microwave and thermographic mapping to see inside a room without the need for invasive CCTV
• Audio mapping to alert staff if there is a distressed or agitated service user
• Sensory lighting to enhance mood

Since the deployment of the technology and subsequent onboarding of staff, the following positive feedback has been received.

Martin Holmes, regional manager of Akari Care comments:

"Princes Court is a home that seeks to embrace new ways of working for the benefit of residents, so welcomed the chance to implement the ALM non-invasive monitoring system.  Of course, any new system takes time to implement and embed, however, I am massively grateful for the support of North Tyneside CCG and colleagues from the MyQoL team.  This support has ensured that colleagues have developed their confidence in using the system which has already positively impacted on the well-being of people in our care."
