Catherine Grove

Boutique Care Homes · Deal, Kent

ProgrammeLate 2027Source checked28 Sept 2026Contract availabilityTo be qualified
RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE

Use Apex’s published routing contact, steph.harris@apexcontractors.co.uk, to request Catherine Grove’s nurse-call/M&E package lead. Ask that team to identify who at Boutique approves the care-team alert layout; use Boutique’s development route if operator input is needed.

Why this belongs in your brief

The Deal development is in Kent and offers a reason to qualify the operational call layout before any package enquiry.

TARGET SCOPE

Nurse-call installation with bedroom/bathroom call zoning, staff alert displays and training if still procurable.

RELEVANT CAPABILITY

Fire-Tech’s published zone mapping and training can make the enquiry about day-to-day operation rather than only hardware price.

Timing and buying window

Late-2027 target; confirm the current design freeze and package award rather than deriving them from the opening date.

Questions that determine whether to pursue

Tick once established; record the answer in working notes below.

Approach draft

Subject: Catherine Grove: nurse-call zoning and procurement

Hello,

Fire-Tech Systems designs, installs and maintains wired and wireless nurse-call systems in Kent, including zone mapping and staff training.

For Catherine Grove, who is coordinating the call-system package with Apex and the future care team? We would like to establish whether the specification and installer are already fixed, and who signs off the room zones and staff alert routing. If that stage is still to come, we can send a concise outline of our approach.

Kind regards,
Fire-Tech Systems Ltd

Privacy or contact preferences: reply to this email. Please let us know if you would prefer no further contact.

Next trigger: M&E buyer confirmation or an operator review of the call-zone layout.

Cliffton Croft · Ramsgate

Crystal Care Collection | Pre-opening | Early 2027

Target scope

Nurse-call maintenance, staff familiarisation or a verified training gap, subject to the appointed supplier’s responsibilities.

The Ramsgate opening gives Fire-Tech a local operational handover conversation; monitoring technology has already been named.

First move

Ask Crystal’s development/estates team who owns nurse-call handover and whether it is separate from Sensio RoomMate.

Qualification questions

  • Who will supply the final nurse-call zone map?
  • Which staff groups receive training before residents arrive?
  • Is RoomMate administered separately from the call system?
  • Who receives faults after the commissioning contractor leaves?

Subject: Cliffton Croft: nurse-call handover and staff training

Hello,

We are Fire-Tech Systems, a Kent nurse-call installer and maintenance provider. With Cliffton Croft targeting early 2027, could you point us to the person coordinating nurse-call handover, zone records and staff training?

We have seen the separate RoomMate reference and would first need to understand the nurse-call platform and the incumbent contractor’s scope. If an additional support or refresher-training requirement is identified, we would be pleased to discuss it.

Kind regards,
Fire-Tech Systems Ltd

Malling Grange · West Malling

Avante Care & Support | Pre-opening | Autumn 2026

Target scope

A future support introduction focused on the new building’s call zones and operator fault escalation.

The Pilgrims View transfer creates a concrete staff familiarisation topic within Fire-Tech’s Kent coverage.

First move

Use Avante’s property route to establish the commissioning contractor and new-home training owner.

Qualification questions

  • Are transferring staff being trained on different call points or alert priorities?
  • Who holds the final device/zone list and service manual?
  • What is the fault escalation route during the move and warranty period?

Approach draft

Subject: Malling Grange: nurse-call support during the transition

Hello,

Fire-Tech Systems provides nurse-call installation, maintenance and staff training across Kent. As Malling Grange prepares for the move from Pilgrims View, who is coordinating the call-system handover and fault escalation arrangements?

We would welcome the appropriate contact for any future support review. Before discussing a service, we would check the installed platform, existing warranty and the training already included by the commissioning contractor.

Kind regards,

Next trigger: A confirmed training/support gap or future service-review date.
