Why should care homes consider managed IT services?

Craig Atkins • August 26, 2024

Considering outsourcing your IT services for your care home business? We've put together this blog to outline some of the key benefits your care home can see with managed IT services from 1-Fix.

If you run a care home, you know how important it is to provide quality care and support to your residents. You also know how challenging it can be to manage the day-to-day operations of your business, especially when it comes to IT. You need reliable, secure, and efficient IT systems to run your care home smoothly and safely. But how can you achieve that without spending a fortune or hiring a full-time IT staff?


That's where managed IT services come in. Managed IT services are a cost-effective and hassle-free way to outsource your IT needs to a professional and experienced provider. Managed IT services can help you with everything from setting up and maintaining your network, devices, and software, to providing technical support, backup, and security solutions. By choosing managed IT services, you can benefit from:

  • Reduced IT costs: You only pay one set fee per user per month, and you avoid the expenses of hiring, training, and retaining IT staff.
  • Improved IT performance: You get access to the latest technology and best practices, and you can rely on a team of experts to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimise your IT systems.
  • Enhanced IT security: You can protect your data and your residents' privacy with advanced security measures, such as encryption, firewall, antivirus, and backup.
  • Increased IT flexibility: You can scale your IT services up or down as your business grows or changes, and you can choose the level of service that suits your needs and budget.
  • More IT peace of mind: You can focus on your core business and leave the IT worries to the professionals. You can also enjoy the convenience of having a single point of contact for all your IT issues.

Here's what our clients have to say:

"Always always on the ball, very approachable no matter how big or small your issue may be and never do the team at 1Fix make you feel as though "you should of known that". Being from the pre-computerised office generation, understanding PC terminology can be confusing but the 1Fix team manage to understand my ramblings and patiently guide me remotely through the issue so I can see, understand & learn as I go along."
