It’s not just the fall itself. Sometimes, it’s the fear of falling that holds people back even more.

Picture seeing someone you care for hesitate on their way to the kitchen, or skip their favourite activity: just in case. That constant worry? It chips away at independence, at confidence, at the spark that makes us who we are. And for care teams, that fear leads to extra stress, ongoing concern, and never quite knowing what’s around the corner.

At Spark Care, we understand. Our human-centred technology doesn’t just detect falls: it helps prevent them and, just as importantly, brings real peace of mind. Silver Shield’s discreet monitoring means residents know support is always close by, even before they might need it. Families feel reassured. Staff can put their energy into caring instead of crisis management.

It’s not just about spotting what’s happened. It’s about giving people the safety and confidence to keep enjoying life, without fear holding anyone back.

We plan for fires.
We lock up cleaning products.
We keep plasters in the drawer and paracetamol in the cupboard.

But choking?
That’s one of the most sudden and silent emergencies - and most homes aren’t ready for it.

A bite of food.
A child laughing mid-mouthful.
A parent on medication that affects their swallow.
A grandparent with reduced muscle tone or dementia.
It happens fast.
And in those first 30 seconds, panic takes over - unless you’re prepared.

💡 LifeVac is the emergency device every home should have:
✅ Non-invasive and easy to use
✅ Requires no training
✅ Works when back blows or abdominal thrusts fail
✅ Can be used on someone who’s bedbound, seated, or unconscious
✅ Already credited with saving over 2,000 lives worldwide

You don’t have to be a first aider.
You just need to have the right tool within reach.

🔒 One device.
📦 Kept in the drawer, beside the plasters.
👨‍👩‍👧 Peace of mind for every family.

Because when choking happens, there’s no time to Google what to do.

It’s the one thought that keeps families awake.
Not the paperwork.
Not the policies.
Just that quiet, anxious question:
“Is she okay when no one’s watching?”

That’s why more care homes are choosing Nobi Smart Lights - the intelligent ceiling light that does more than illuminate.

It watches gently.
It never sleeps.
It doesn’t film. It doesn’t listen.
It just knows.

💡 One light.
👵 One room.
✅ Bed-exit alerts when Mum starts to get up
✅ A soft light that guides her safely to the toilet
✅ Fall detection in real-time
✅ Automatic alerts to care staff
✅ No footage. No invasion. Just an unidentifiable stick figure, if needed, to show where help is required.

🔒 100% privacy protected
⚙️ Fully integrated with the care team’s existing systems
💤 Night reports to help staff spot patterns or problems early
Because safety and dignity should never be a trade-off.

📍 If Mum can’t tell you what happened last night - Nobi can.

You’ve got the policy.
You’ve done the training.

But when an inspector asks:
🗣️ “Can you evidence what happened?”
🗣️ “What was the response time?”
🗣️ “Have you noticed any patterns?”
Most providers still reach for scribbled notes, scattered logs, or guesswork.

That’s no longer enough.
Silver Shield changes the game.
It’s not just fall detection - it’s a compliance tool.

✅ Verified fall incident logs - timestamped, objective, and traceable
✅ Bed and chair exit reports - with exact timings and alerts
✅ Sleep, movement, and vitals trends - to inform care planning
✅ Audit trails of staff response times - showing how quickly help arrived
✅ Digital reports for reviews, handovers, and inspections

💡 All from a privacy-first, non-camera system that’s always on.

Whether you’re preparing for your next CQC inspection, supporting a safeguarding enquiry, or improving internal governance, Silver Shield gives you what policies alone can’t:
Clear, consistent, accountable data.

📍 Care that’s not just good - but provable.

It can happen in a recliner.
In a wheelchair.
Lying in bed.
And when it does - traditional first aid techniques like back blows or abdominal thrusts may not be possible.

💔 For bedbound residents, choking becomes even more dangerous.
They can’t be sat up quickly.
They might have limited mobility, fragile bones, or spinal injuries.
And care staff often face the impossible task of trying to help without hurting them.

That’s why LifeVac is essential in care environments.
🛡️ A non-invasive airway clearance device, LifeVac is designed for exactly these scenarios:

✅ It can be used safely in any position
✅ It works without the need to move or lift the person
✅ It’s effective even if the person is unconscious or has limited muscle tone
✅ It doesn’t require force - just a simple push and pull

No pain. No repositioning. No panic.
Just fast, reliable airway clearance when it matters most.

Every care home should have a plan for choking.
LifeVac makes that plan stronger - especially for the most vulnerable.

So she stayed there.
On the cold floor.
In pain.
For over an hour.

Not because no one cared.
But because no one knew.
And because she didn’t want to bother anyone.

💔 This is more common than most people realise.
Residents often minimise their needs.
They don’t want to be “a nuisance.”
They forget how to use a pendant.
They’re confused, disoriented, or simply… silent.

Silver Shield changes that.
It doesn’t wait to be pressed.
It doesn’t rely on sound.
It doesn’t need anyone to ask for help.
💡 It just knows.
And it acts.

✅ Real-time fall detection
✅ Alerts care staff immediately
✅ Detects even slow or chair-based collapses
✅ No wearables, no pendants, no cameras
✅ Just always-on protection that respects dignity

Because help should never depend on someone asking for it.
And no one should ever be left on the floor because they didn’t want to cause a fuss.

📍Silver Shield - fall detection with compassion built in.

Care homes today rely on dozens of different systems to keep residents safe and operations running:

🔹 Nurse call
🔹 Digital care plans
🔹 Electronic medical records
🔹 Smart lighting
🔹 Alarm systems

But here’s the truth - when these systems don’t talk to each other, things fall through the cracks.
Alerts get missed.
Information is duplicated.
Staff time is wasted.

That’s why Nobi Smart Lights are designed to integrate seamlessly with the platforms you already use.

➡️ Nurse Call - Nobi sends real-time alerts directly into your existing call system
➡️ Digital Care Planning - Insights and incidents can flow straight into your care notes
➡️ Resident Records - Trends in sleep, activity and falls help personalise care
➡️ Smart Lighting - Nobi supports dynamic, circadian lighting to boost wellbeing

💡 It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about strengthening what you already have.

One system. One light. Endless possibilities.

Because when your technology works together, your care team can too.

📩 Message us today to see how Nobi Smart Lights can plug into your care environment and elevate it - without disruption.

It can happen without warning.
No noise.
No time.
No chance to ask for help.

For older adults - especially those living with dementia, mobility challenges, or who are bedbound - choking is a silent killer.

🧓 A piece of food.
🛏️ A reclined position.
💊 A tablet taken too quickly.

It only takes seconds to become life-threatening.
That’s why LifeVac exists.

✔️ Over 2,000 lives saved (and counting)
✔️ Used by care homes, families, schools, and emergency responders worldwide
✔️ Works in seconds - even when someone is unconscious
✔️ No training required
✔️ No prescription needed

Because when choking happens, there’s no time to panic.

She hadn’t complained.
Said she felt fine.
But something was off - and Silver Shield at Home picked it up before we could.

➡️ Her usual daily routine? Gone.
➡️ Fewer trips to the kitchen.
➡️ Barely any time spent in the lounge.
➡️ Less movement during the night.
She was slowing down. Quietly. Gradually.

And if we hadn’t seen the data, we would’ve missed it.
Turns out she was coming down with a urinary tract infection.
We got her checked, treated, and back to herself - before it turned into a hospital visit.

💡 That’s the power of behavioural trend monitoring.
Silver Shield at Home doesn’t just detect falls.
It notices the tiny changes that signal when something’s not right.

✅ Reduced movement
✅ Restlessness at night
✅ Skipped routines
✅ Missed chair or bed time
✅ Unusual periods of stillness
All of it adds up - and helps families act before a crisis.

🧠 Think of it as a safety net with insight built in.
👁️ And it does all this without cameras or wearables.
🔧 Just a discreet sensor and real-time updates, right to your phone.

💙 Safety. Insight. Respect.
That’s what Silver Shield at Home delivers.
