Providing the best care in a group living environment

A group living environment, such as a retirement village or a care home, can be a great way for people to maintain independence while never being too far away from healthcare support.

Whether you’re an older person enjoying all that retirement has to offer in a share home, or a younger person needing some additional support due to a disability or illness, your lifestyle should be active and full of enrichment.

Our retirement and supported living technology solutions help over 55s and younger people with support needs to live life to the full.

Tunstall has been working with group living organisations for many years to develop solutions that enable them to deliver the best possible care in group environments. Our solutions are designed with healthcare workers and their patients at the centre. We also know that group living facilities can vary greatly across the globe and so our solutions are fully scalable.



Here’s an overview of just some of our solutions…

Communicall Vi

Communicall Vi is designed to support efficient care delivery by providing real-time information, bespoke management reporting and a flexible platform to offer needs-based telecare solutions for group living residents with diverse, changing requirements.

Communicall Vi is suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including sheltered housing and extra care schemes, for the delivery and management of communications, telecare, door entry and access control. It supports residents without limiting their independence and provides healthcare managers with concise information to enable the delivery of effective care.

The Communicall Vi technology offers flexibility, choice, and a wealth of new functionality in a single system, adaptable for a wide range of housing and care models. It supports people with diverse needs, including dementia, learning disabilities and physical and sensory impairments.


The Communicall Vi IP Digital Warden Call System

Communicall Vi IP is a scalable communication system designed to provide video door entry, onsite communication and needs-based telecare. It is suitable for use in various group living environments and each Communicall Vi IP installation can be tailored to the specific needs of each site and its residents.

Digital solutions, like the Communicall Vi IP provides safety and security and a range of services that meet the varying and multiple needs of residents. It enables health care managers and professionals to provide high quality, outcomes-focussed support, while allowing them to carry out the more routine tasks remotely.

The system works by installing stylish, contemporary, internet-enabled phones in each dwelling that are linked to a central control unit. The phones can be used to make free on-site calls to other residents and on-site services, as well as providing video door entry and speech communication in the event of an alarm call. The system is managed by Housing Services Portal or local System Control Panel and supports a wide range of telecare devices.
