TVC Brings Innovative AV Solutions to Care UK’s Long Stone Manor Care Home

TVC, a leader in providing advanced audio-visual solutions, is proud to announce the successful installation of cutting-edge technology at Long Stone Manor, a new 60-bed care home by Care UK in Wilmslow. With a focus on enhancing both resident experience and operational efficiency, TVC has delivered a comprehensive AV solution that integrates seamlessly into the home’s design and ethos of high-quality care.

Andy Greaves, Sales Director of TVC, commented, “Long Stone Manor’s commitment to top-tier communication and high-quality care aligns with our ethos of the highest quality customer service, and we are very proud to have completed the installation and furthered our longstanding relationship with them. Their sophisticated digital signage system will enhance the visitor experience and support the care home’s operational efficiency.” 

Upon entering Long Stone Manor’s reception area, visitors are immediately welcomed by a striking Mitchell & Brown 43” Full HD Android Smart TV, powered by MySign’s innovative digital signage software. This system is a standout feature, providing dynamic, real-time information to both staff and visitors. MySign’s advanced software delivers a range of essential updates, such as information on resident locations for visiting family members, upcoming activities, employee highlights, and live news. The system is cloud-based, allowing staff to easily manage and update content, ensuring that information is always current and relevant.

For resident entertainment and comfort, TVC installed 60 Mitchell & Brown 43” Full HD Android Smart TVs across all bedrooms. These TVs were selected after careful consultation with Care UK to meet their specific requirements for ease of use, durability, and functionality. The 43” Smart TVs, equipped with Freeview Play, offer residents easy access to on-demand content from major channels such as BBC, ITV, and Channel 4. This feature is particularly valuable for residents who wish to catch up on their favourite shows or explore new programming, with personalised recommendations to enhance their viewing experience. The addition of a seven-year warranty on each TV provides peace of mind, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance for Care UK.

In the communal lounge areas, TVC installed five Mitchell & Brown JB-55BL1811 4K Ultra HD Linux Smart TVs. These stunning 55” models offer exceptional 4K picture quality, making them ideal for shared entertainment experiences. Residents can enjoy their favourite films, shows, and live events in breath-taking visual clarity. To enhance viewing flexibility and comfort, TVC complemented the installation with B-Tech’s Flat Screen Wall Mounts, which feature tilt and swivel functionality. These mounts, strategically placed in all lounge areas, bedrooms, and the reception, provide easy adjustments to optimise viewing angles, minimise glare, and ensure a comfortable experience for all. The B-Tech ‘hook-on’ system ensures a quick and secure installation, while integrated cable management maintains a clean and organised environment throughout the care home.

Terry Milne, FF&E Delivery Manager at Care UK, expressed satisfaction with the project, saying: “We are pleased to continue our strong partnership with TVC Technology Solutions. They consistently provide outstanding service, from understanding our initial requirements to delivering and implementing tailored AV solutions to the highest standards. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with them.”

The AV systems installed by TVC at Long Stone Manor ensures that Care UK continues to provide world-class care in an innovative, tech-forward environment.

Editors notes

Founded in 1996 by Jim Brown and his sons Matthew and Daniel, the TVD Group started from humble beginnings in a shop in Leigh and has now become a leading UK provider in audio visual solutions. Putting the customer at the heart of everything it does and offering unrivalled service and quality products has acted as a catalyst for growth, which has seen the group go from strength to strength.

In 2016, to celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary and pay tribute to their late father, the two brothers decided to develop their very own exclusive TV brand, names 'Mitchell & Brown' using their father's surname and Jim's mother's maiden name.

Built by Europe’s largest TV manufacturer, who design and manufacture TV’s for almost every major brand around the world, each television undergoes rigorous control processes and testing.

Mitchell & Brown TV sets come in various sizes, including LED TVs from 20” to 75” with build in features such as Freeview Play, Smart TV apps, 4K UHD, WIFI, Hotel Mode and DVD Combi.

The Mitchell & Brown TV range comes with an industry-leading 7-year warranty, so its products have a reputation for client satisfaction and reliability.
