Care home digital signage that keeps residents, families and staff connected

Show care home activities, dining menus and welcome messages on the TVs you already have. Your team updates them from a phone, and every screen in the home changes.

No credit card required. Cancel anytime. From £10/TV/month ex VAT.

Your paper schedule was right on Monday

By Friday the art group has moved rooms and the singer has cancelled. The noticeboard still shows both. Residents wait in the lounge for an activity that isn't happening, and a family visiting at the weekend sees nothing of the week your team ran.

A screen fixes that. Your activity coordinator changes the schedule from their phone, and every TV in the home shows the new plan.

Ready-made care home Boards

These are real Boards. Pick one, add your activities and colours, and your lounge screen is ready.

What care homes put on their screens

Activity schedules

Show today's activities with the time and room for each. If bingo moves to the conservatory, your coordinator changes it from their phone while setting out chairs. Between activities, the same screen can show a large dementia day clock with the time, day and date.

Dining menus

Put the main course, the alternative, dessert and dietary notes outside the dining room. When fish pie becomes battered cod, the cook updates it from the kitchen tablet.

Reception and family photos

Welcome visitors with today's activities, visiting hours and photos from this week's sessions. Take a photo during gardening club, add it, and families see it when they arrive on Sunday.

Dementia-friendly displays

Show the day, date, time and next activity in large text on a calm background. No scrolling text or animation, so residents can check without having to ask.

Care groups

Run several homes from one account. Staff in each home update their own schedules, and you can check every home from your desk.

Common questions about care home digital signage

Do we need to buy new screens?

No. Use the TVs already in your lounge, dining room or reception. You need a NowBoard Player (£149 ex VAT, UK only) or Player Pro (£199 ex VAT) for each TV.

Can different staff manage different screens?

Yes, as Admins, and an Admin can change any screen. Roles that limit someone to certain screens are coming.

Is it suitable for residents living with dementia?

Yes. You choose large text, high contrast and calm colours, and you can leave out scrolling text and animation.

Can we add photos from activities?

Yes. Take a photo on your phone during a session and add it to a screen straight away.

What happens if our wifi goes down?

The screen keeps showing the last Board it loaded.

Will it help with CQC inspections?

Inspectors can see your current schedule and recent activity photos on the wall. What counts as evidence is their call, and the screen doesn't replace your care records.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. You pay month to month from £10 ex VAT per TV, and you can add or remove TVs whenever you like.
