Smart Living Solutions are our suite of digital assisted living services that integrate both safety and wellbeing technologies into your customer’s homes - replacing analogue telecare with services that will empower people to lead independent, engaged lives for longer.
These solutions create a digital environment that enables audio and video communication, along with valuable data insights, to flow between properties, individual’s homes, site support staff, and your Monitoring Centre.
This means businesses can make better decisions, employees can be more effective and most importantly, residents can have better living experiences.

Improved Wellbeing
We bring people together through the use of assisted living technology, reducing social isolation and delivering a community environment. Integrated video on the LivingHub enables face to face calling between apartments, communal areas and site staff.
The ‘I’m OK’ function and video calling supports greater independence. Residents can have flexibility over their level of care, whilst those responsible for care delivery are able to prioritise and visually check a resident without the need for a physical visit.

Housing & Care 21 partners with Appello to deliver a digital transformation of care and security.
Housing & Care 21 wanted to ensure that all residents not only benefited from the highest standards in telecare systems in their homes, but also that they were modern, easy to use, and most importantly, reliable. See How We Can Help
- Housing & Care 21’s journey to digital began in 2016, when the issue of the digital switchover was highlighted by Appello. Beyond improving functionality associated with traditional monitoring, it was the potential of digital and what it would mean for the future delivery of care that Housing & Care 21 found really compelling,
- The first digital installation was completed in 2016 at Housing & Care’s Walton Court development in Durham. Following this success, the company committed to an extensive programme of digital upgrades to all of its 430 developments over the next few years.
- Housing & Care 21 is investing around £2 million per year to digital transformation.
- Appello and Housing & Care 21 is also able to continuously innovate, making improvements based on resident and staff feedback and ensuring that the latest technologies are embraced.
“When we began to look at what was on the market we found that, while there were a few suppliers offering modern end user devices, there was a lack of providers delivering a complete digital package”
"Over the course of our long term installation project, Appello has been able to accommodate pulling sites forward or moving sites back depending on our operational or commercial considerations at the time."
