overview-icon Client Overview

Larchfield House is a Berkshire-based healthcare centre that specialises in catering to patients with dementia and other complicated needs. It is well-known for its personalised and sympathetic care approach, which is backed up by a devoted team of professionals committed to improving residents' quality of life via innovative care techniques.

overview-icon2 The Challenge

Larchfield House needed highly-reliable, wired and wireless IT infrastructure, distributed across a large-scale care home setting. It needed to handle highly confidential data in accordance with UK healthcare regulations and guidance, and their existing system was struggling to meet the growing technological demands of the facility, such as network capacity and data security.
