Free guide to protecting your care home with the right standby power

What are your emergency power options for patient care?

Care and nursing homes have critical power needs over and above day to day operational requirements. In addition to power supply for heat, light and catering, residential care homes often have more critical special care requirements. Equipment such as ventilators and nebulisers all need a guaranteed power supply. You may not be able to install a standby generator due to cost or space issues. What are the other options?

Power Call customer Annette Forster, Services Manager for Wilsmere House Care Home comments “We lost power recently due to work being carried out by a third party on underground cabling. Loss of power is a huge issue for us. We have 2 residents on mains powered ventilators and, although our backup processes are excellent, the back-up ventilators are battery powered with around 4 hours life. Getting emergency power is critical. We were relieved to have the back-up power, peace of mind from Power Call until our mains power was restored.”
