Oakleigh Park Care Home – Barnet

As mobile phones become more common and landlines phase out, many older adults are adapting to new ways of staying connected. 

As the UK moves from analogue to digital phone lines, many older adults’ personal alarm systems may stop working — especially during power cuts. Families and care providers should check whether alarms are compatible with the new system and consider upgrading to mobile-based devices to ensure ongoing safety.

With listings now covering every region of the country, Wiserr offers one of the most comprehensive and accessible directories in the care sector. For care providers, this expanded reach means more opportunities than ever to be discovered by families seeking support.

Moving into full time care is a major life change and one of the most common concerns for older adults is whether the place will feel like home. While care homes often provide fully furnished rooms, many offer the option for residents to bring their own furniture, helping to create a more familiar and comfortable environment.
