CARE SECTOR OPERATIONAL EXPOSURE

The 3 Hidden Risks in Residential Care Facility Contracts

1. Soaring Commercial Energy Bills

Care homes cannot simply turn off heating or lights. With 24/7 power consumption, outdated fluorescent tubes, and inflated broker commissions embedded in gas and electricity contracts, energy overhead consumes an alarming proportion of bed fees.

2. Critical Fall Alarm PSTN Disconnection

Most care home lift autodiallers, warden-call terminals, and intruder alarms still run on analogue copper telephone lines. When BT turns off the PSTN network, these life-critical circuits will cease operating unless upgraded to cellular IoT bridges.

3. CQC Scrutiny on eMAR & Resident Wi-Fi

Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors actively evaluate digital care records (eMAR). Unmanaged Wi-Fi with dead spots leaves carers unable to log medication dosages, while mixing resident and clinical traffic breaches NHS data protection standards.
