Home Instead Senior Care Franchises Test Electronic Locks For Clients
Home Instead Senior Care franchises in Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando County have opted to test digital locking technology from the Swedish company, Phoniro, to improve users’ experience along with enhancing security and safety. Phoniro Lock is installed in over 110,000 doors in different countries and used by over 200 public corporations and private home care companies.
Phoniro is part of Assa Abloy Hospitality, which provides trusted security solutions throughout the US and the world for healthcare, hotel and cruise industry. Assa Abloy has been featured in Forbes Magazine for several years as one of the ‘World’s most innovative companies.’
With the Phoniro Lock, clients no longer have to risk their security by leaving a key out or hidden under the doormat. With the electronic lock, the caregiver will digitally enter the home via an app installed on their smartphone. The app is protected by the highest level of security through an IT platform known as Phoniro Care.
The lock is not visible from the outside and clients and their relatives can still use the physical key. It is aesthetically pleasing and easy to install and remove. The electronic lock will not interfere with any other security solutions the client may have.
“Client safety is a priority at Home Instead Senior Care, and this new technology will allow us to give reassurance to both our seniors and their family members who may live 1,000 miles away that the door isn’t left unlocked and that the ‘key under the mat’ falls into the wrong hands,” said Kristi Campbell, owner at Home Instead Senior Care of Tampa and Brandon.
Home Instead Senior Care is planning to test the solution during the spring. The test involves around 20 locks in each county. After the pilot, additional users will soon be able to benefit from the solution. Call 684-1972.
