Majesticare Luxury Care Homes has become one of the first care groups in the UK to integrate a specialist Alexa virtual solution into its properties.

The Alex Smart Properties for Senior Living solution, which is provided by the Ascom Group, has been launched at Cavendish Park in Evesham, Worcestershire.

Angela Boxall, chief executive of Majesticare, said: “We’re so proud to be one of the UK’s first care groups to introduce Alexa Smart Properties into our care homes. Majesticare are dedicated to innovation in care, enhancing efficiency and providing independence and choice to our residents.

It’s so important when a loved one moves into a care home, that friendships remain, and families stay connected which is why the introduction of Alexa Smart Properties for Senior Living at our Evesham home is so wonderful.”

Alexa Smart Properties has been developed to enable care home residents to feel more informed, independent and connected. Through simple voice commands, residents can use Alexa to easily connect with family, friends and those who care for them.

Empowered through independence, residents can keep up to date with local and international news, research hobbies and interests, listen to the radio and fundamentally, enjoy an easy way to call family and friends, enquire what upcoming activities are in the home and even ask what’s on today’s menu.

Nicolas Vanden Abeele, chief executive of Ascom Group, said: “We are excited to bring together Alexa Smart Properties and Ascom’s state-of-the art Ofelia software to offer a game-changing solution for senior living. With Alexa Smart Properties we see the potential to further optimise operations and to reduce costs, ensuring that resident experience remains front and centre of care homes.”
