Partnership arrangement with Sky, here are the following benefits to our Members
Sky has developed tailored packages for the care home sector, enabling operators to offer a home-from-home experience for both residents and visitors, by providing Sky in communal areas and in rooms, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, powered by The Cloud. This bespoke package has been produced after discovering over 65’s view more TV on Sky than any other age group*.
January 2015 sees the launch of an exciting new partnership between Sky and a activity provider Oomph! (Our Organisation Makes People Happy!). As part of this, new Care Home Subscribers to the Sky Lounge package will receive a £500Oomph! voucher to put towards bringing some more Oomph! into your home every day.
With a Sky+ box^ activity co-ordinators and planners can pause, rewind and record live TV, – turning residents’ favourite programmes into a truly interactive experience. The combination of TV and WiFi access can also be of benefit to residents’ families, encouraging them to visit more, stay longer and make the care home experience really feel like a “home from home” for residents and loved ones alike.
