Tech-led Yorkshire luxury care group opens third home

Fisher Care group has opened its third Yorkshire luxury care home. The self-styled ‘tech-first’ provider worked with Spark Care to equip the Maltings Care home in Bridlington with AI-powered remote monitoring across its 59 bedrooms, designed to detect falls and ‘early changes in risk.’

The new purpose-built facility’s technology equipment, which also includes Spark Care’s digital nurse call platform Charis,  reflects a ‘growing shift across the care sector toward designing digitally connected care environments from the outset, rather than layering technology into buildings later,’  according to Spark.
