Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Our Building and Facilities

Brynhyfryd House opened as a nursing home in January 1987. The original house was built 1863 in the popular Tudor style. As you go around our home you can still see many of the original features although we have adapted the use to be easy for everyone who stays and visits us. We are near the seafront within the Mumbles/West Cross area, around two miles to the south of the main centre, where we enjoy extensive views of the Bay as well as the local retail facilities, pub and restaurants.
