The straightforward set-up
One remote for the living room. Lighting that comes on when it should. A cinema that works first time. Simple, done well, with nothing you won’t use.
Assisted living
Control4 for assisted living
Technology that helps someone live independently at home, designed around the person and the people who support them. From one simple remote to a whole house that quietly looks after its occupant.
Designed around one person
Start with the person, not the product
The best automation for someone who needs support is the kind they never have to think about. So we start with the person: how their day runs, what’s difficult, what they’d like to do for themselves again.
Then we design the controls around that. Sometimes it’s a single remote with four large buttons. Sometimes it’s lighting, heating, door entry and blinds working together so the house does the routine work by itself.
We involve family, carers and any professionals supporting the person, and we keep the person in charge of their own home throughout.
What a set-up can include
- Large-button remotes and simplified touchscreens
- Voice control for lights, heating, blinds and TV
- Lighting that follows the day, including gentle night paths
- Door entry and intercom that can be answered from a chair or bed
- Heating, blinds and curtains that look after themselves
- Discreet alerts to family or carers, set up with the person’s agreement
Simple to complex
From a simple set-up to a complex assisted-living home.We can make it happen.
The house that does everything
Lighting, shades, multi-room audio, video, heating, gates, CCTV and intercom on one system, often alongside Loxone or KNX. We build the logic that makes it all feel like one house.
A home built around one person
Large-button control, voice, routines that prompt and reassure, discreet alerts to family or carers, and automation that quietly removes daily friction. Designed with the person and the people who look after them.
Reliability
Reliability isn’t a feature here. It’s the point.
When someone relies on their home to help them through the day, a system that works most of the time isn’t good enough. We build for reliability first and features second.
Control4 runs locally, so core control of lights, heating and door entry carries on if the internet drops. And we stay involved afterwards, with remote support and regular checks, so small problems are caught before they matter.
How we keep it dependable
- Core control runs locally in the house, not from the cloud
- Remote support so small problems are fixed without a visit
- Scheduled health checks and firmware updates
- Everything documented, so nothing depends on one person’s memory
FAQ
Common questions
Does this replace a care alarm or telecare service?
No, and it shouldn’t. Home automation works alongside telecare and care services; it doesn’t replace them. We’re happy to work with whatever equipment and services are already in place.
Who do you involve in the design?
The person who’ll be living with it first, then the family, carers and any professionals supporting them. Good assisted-living automation starts with how someone’s day actually works.
Can family or carers be alerted if something isn’t right?
Yes. With the person’s agreement we can set up discreet notifications, for example a door left open at night, and send them to the people who need to know.
Can you add this to an existing Control4 system?
Usually, yes. Many assisted-living projects start with a system that’s already in the house; we adapt the controls, scenes and alerts around the person.
What if a device we need doesn’t work with Control4?
We write our own Control4 drivers, so specialist equipment can often be brought into the same system rather than sitting on its own.
