TVC Technology Solutions, has just released details of a successful completion of a comprehensive audio-visual installation at Cheadle Grange Care Home.
The project reinforces TVC’s position as a go-to expert in AV solutions for care homes that are seeking to enhance resident engagement, safety and staff efficiency. The project also underlines the potential that exists on the care home sector for the smart home and AV sector. Projects are being completed that range hugely, but there is definitely an increase in jobs that ad a pleasing amount of performance and technology reach.
However, the care home sector presents unique challenges for AV systems, including the simplicity of resident use, integrated safety features and screen viewing and audio accessibility for people with disabilities or impairments. TVC’s experience in AV installation in the care sector and other hospitality venues provides the company with a unique expertise that helps care home managers make informed choices.
“We really understand the unique requirements of the care home environment and bring that experience to managers and specifiers in the sector who may not appreciate the range of solutions available, all of which we can provide,” says Andy Greaves, Sales Director at TVC Technology Solutions. “Our goal is to provide AV systems that are not only seamless and reliable but also aligned to the needs of both residents and staff. The Cheadle Grange project exemplifies our commitment to creating audio visual installations that enrich daily life, support care teams, and provide lasting value.”
The project
Starting with an in-depth design consultation to understand Cheadle Grange’s specific needs from their partners Hiedi Lazenby Design, TVC assessed the site and drew up structured plans to budget and developed an installation strategy to minimise day-to-day disruption.
Central to the installation are seven 75in 4K LG commercial displays for Cheadle Grange’s popular lounges and an impressive 86in 4K LG commercial display in the dedicated cinema room. Further 65in and 75in 4K LG screens are installed in shared lounges and group communal areas, all mounted on Peerless AV professional flush-fit wall brackets for safety and clean aesthetics. These commercial-grade screens offer longer ‘always on’ operation life than typical consumer TV screens, delivering long-term value to the care home.
For the Cheadle Grange’s 75 guest bedrooms, TVC installed Mitchell & Brown JB-32FH1811BL Full HD Smart TVs throughout. This popular 32in model, known for its user-friendly design and full range of smart TV services, comes with a seven-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
Neat and tidy
To ensure a seamless installation, all cabling was hidden and aesthetics maintained. Furthermore, TVC addressed the need for safe, wheelchair-friendly viewing by fitting all wall-mounted screens on low-height brackets, ensuring cable management and wall-hardware installation were fully compliant with care home safety standards.
As part of ongoing service, TVC is now delivering proactive maintenance visits, system health checks, and technical training for Cheadle Grange staff to ensure the system remains easy to operate and fully supported.
“We believe that every care home should benefit from reliable, intuitive AV systems that bring the community together and aid routines,” adds Andy Greaves. “Our approach combines first-class products, sector insight, and long-term value with full support – a formula that care providers across the UK already trust.”
