Care & Living

Familiar TV for residents. Centrally managed, with suitable existing cabling reused.

  • Centrally managed TV
  • Familiar channel order
  • Works over coax and IP

What it gives you

Simple for residents

A fixed, familiar channel order, straightforward controls and subtitles where needed — in apartments and shared lounges.

Central management for every room

RIAN manages channel changes, connections and faults from one environment, across multiple buildings or locations.

Works over existing coax and IP

We test what is already in place and reuse good cabling, allowing a phased upgrade without opening up the whole building.

Fewer TV questions for care staff

We handle installation, explanation, monitoring and faults, leaving your staff free to focus on residents.

Challenges you face

Select a topic for more detail.

Residents must operate it without explanation

The situation

An unfamiliar channel order, complex menu or second remote control immediately creates uncertainty and questions for care staff.

What RIAN does

We configure a fixed, familiar channel order and keep controls simple. Subtitles can be enabled by default where residents need them.

How it works for you

Three steps. One point of contact.

  1. 01

    TV and cabling survey

    We map rooms, shared spaces, required channels, televisions and the existing coax or IP cabling per building.

  2. 02

    Installation per room or wing

    We migrate in phases and at quiet times. Every television is connected, tested and set up in a familiar way.

  3. 03

    Central management and support

    After handover, we manage channels and connections remotely, with one point of contact for questions or faults.

Primary solution

Television for residents

RIAN delivers the complete TV service: signal, channel package, equipment, room-by-room installation, central channel changes, monitoring and support. Residents get a familiar channel order and simple controls, while your organisation retains visibility across every connection. The solution works over existing coax and IP, so upgrades can be phased by wing or building.

Supporting

Network for the TV service

Internet supports the location. Where television, resident Wi-Fi and care applications share infrastructure, we configure separate networks and appropriate priorities.

Managed television for care locations

Everything covered, from signal to support

We tailor the solution to your residents, buildings and existing infrastructure. You retain one point of contact for the complete TV service.

  • Channel package and fixed channel order
  • Equipment and setup per room
  • Use of existing coax or IP
  • Central management, monitoring and support

point of contact for TV, installation, management and faults

“A familiar TV experience for residents, without care staff having to configure channels or investigate faults.”

RIAN's TV approach for Care & Living
Short answer

How do I arrange television for residents of a care facility?

With one outlet per room or apartment, a familiar channel package in a fixed order and equipment configured and tested in advance. It works on existing coax as well as over IP, switching happens wing by wing, and your staff have one number for every TV question.

In practice

TV and internet per resident on one connection

One outlet per room, separate networks for care systems and residents, and residents activating their own connection without staff involvement.

Read this case
What you get

What the solution includes

Television per room or apartment

A familiar channel package in a fixed order, so residents keep the channels where they expect them.

Equipment and setup

Receivers or screens per room, configured and tested before the resident uses them.

Works over coax and IP

We use the infrastructure that is already there, including existing coax in older buildings.

Management and monitoring

We monitor the connection continuously, update remotely and act before you notice a problem.

One point of contact

Signal, hardware, installation and incidents all run through RIAN. One number to call.

Costs consist of a one-off amount for equipment and installation, plus a fixed monthly fee per room or apartment for the channel package, management and support. You receive a fixed quotation based on the number of rooms.

Preparation

Checklist for your location

What we assess for a suitable proposal.

Preparation
  • Number of rooms, apartments and communal areas with a TV
  • Which channels residents are used to and the order you want to keep
  • What is already in place: coax, UTP, fibre or mobile coverage only
  • Space and power in the meter cupboard or technical room
  • Access to the building and any working hours or safety rules
  • Existing contracts and notice periods with your current supplier

Frequently asked questions

Will residents notice the switch?+

As little as possible. We keep the familiar channels and order and switch over per wing or building, at a moment that suits care staff.

Does new cabling have to be installed?+

Usually not. Existing coax is often perfectly usable. Where it is not, we deliver TV over the IP network.

Who helps a resident who has lost their picture?+

Your staff have one number for every TV question. We see centrally which room has a problem and resolve it remotely wherever possible.

How long does installation take?+

That depends on the size of the location and what is already in place. After the site visit you receive a schedule with the work and the moments we are on site.

Can we expand later?+

Yes. The setup is modular: extra rooms, units, screens or locations can be added without redoing the existing installation.

What lead time should I allow for?+

A standard internet package arrives pre-configured in one box. For a full installation the proposal states an installation date, based on the size of the location, the delivery time of the equipment and the availability of the line.

What happens if something fails outside office hours?+

Monitoring runs 24/7 and keeps raising alerts in the evening and at weekends too. Which alerts are picked up straight away and which wait until the next working day is agreed per location in the service agreement, so you know in advance what to expect.

What is the contract term and notice period?+

We work with clear terms per location; the term and notice period are stated in the proposal before you sign. If a location moves or closes, the package can in most cases move with you instead of being written off.
