Ally Cares

We're looking forward to attending the Care Innovation Summit and catching up with familiar faces as well as meeting new people from across the sector.

Thomas Tredinnick and Marie Hawkes-Smith from Ally Cares will be there throughout the event and would be delighted to chat about the challenges providers are facing, the opportunities emerging across care, and what homes are doing to improve outcomes for residents and staff alike.

If you're planning to attend and would like to arrange a time to meet, please get in touch. It would be great to connect. https://www.allycares.com/book-a-virtual-demo/

Within the Dorset programme, improving overnight visibility contributed to:

• 49% reduction in overall falls
• 58% reduction in unwitnessed bedroom falls
• 64% reduction in ambulance callouts

What homes are increasingly discovering is that the opportunity often sits in the hours before an incident, where smaller overnight changes can now be identified much earlier.

Many care homes are beginning to realise that residents are often not experiencing the night in the way teams originally believed, simply because historically there has been very little visibility into what was happening between routine checks.

Across homes using Ally, this clearer understanding has contributed towards:
• up to 63% fewer bedroom falls
• around 50% improvement in sleep continuity
• calmer overnight environments

What if the most important part of night-time care actually happens before residents go to sleep?

More providers are beginning to rethink evening routines, lighting, observation practices and overnight support once they properly understand how residents experience the transition into night.

The conversation around sleep in care homes has traditionally focused on comfort and wellbeing, yet emerging evidence suggests the consequences of persistent sleep disruption may extend much further into long-term health, resilience and quality of life.

That raises an important question about whether protecting sleep should be considered just as important as protecting nutrition, hydration and mobility for older people.

This short animation explores why sleep is becoming an increasingly important topic across care.

Many care homes are beginning to realise that some residents thought to be “unsettled overnight” were actually sleeping far more peacefully than expected.

At The Lawns, understanding overnight sleep and movement patterns contributed towards:
• 88% fewer high-risk falls
• 61% fewer physical checks
• 5 staff hours released overnight

The biggest surprise was not the technology. It was how much unnecessary disruption had quietly become normal overnight.

There is a growing feeling across care that we may have underestimated the impact sleep has on everything else.

Because when residents rest better, many homes are seeing wider changes in wellbeing, stability and quality of life.

This short animation explores why better nights are becoming such an important conversation in care.

As part of Dementia Action Week, we are shining a light on the role sleep and reassurance can play within dementia care.

Because when somebody living with dementia experiences repeated disruption overnight, the impact rarely stays contained to the night itself.

This article explores why calmer nights matter so much.
