Device management
Keep staff devices secure, available and focused on care.
Staff phones that are misconfigured, out of date or used for the wrong things undermine the alert system they are supposed to carry.
Photography brief: Charging dock of identical staff mobile phones at a nurses' station, each showing the same lock screen. Tidy, ready for shift. Optional tablet at the manager's desk in the background.
What changes
The outcome for the people who run the home, the team on shift and the residents they care for.
Management benefit
Central control of every staff phone: consistent setup, security policies, app deployment and visibility of which devices are in service.
Staff workflow benefit
A phone that works the same on every shift, with the CareBell app ready and fewer distractions.
Resident benefit
Alerts reach a working device — a small detail that decides whether a call for help is answered.
How it connects to CareBell
Device management keeps every staff device configured for CareBell: the app installed and up to date, notifications enabled, and policies that keep the device available for care.

Illustrative use
A 60-bed home issues shared mobile phones to each shift. Before device management, notifications were silenced on some phones and the app was out of date on others. With central control, every phone runs the same configuration and the manager can see at a glance which devices are ready for the shift.
Illustrative scenario. Verified client results are published on the Results page.
Pricing approach
£1,000 initial setup, then £1.99 per device per month. Devices themselves can be supplied or you can use your own.
Frequently asked questions
We recommend dedicated managed devices so the alert app is always available and notifications cannot be silenced. We can discuss options during discovery.
It is optional, but it is the simplest way to make sure the alert app is installed, up to date and ready on every device on every shift.
