Dudbrook House with Nobi: A New Standard in Care

Falls are one of the greatest risks in senior living, especially for residents living with dementia.

To address this challenge, Dudbrook House in Essex partnered with the County Council to equip 150 rooms with Nobi Smart Lights, keeping residents safe while protecting their independence.

The results with Nobi Smart Lights speak for themselves:

41% fewer falls

70% faster interventions*

0 long lie falls

_{*Average response time now under 4 minutes}

“ Nobi makes us feel more in control. I don’t know how we managed before.” Jo Moss, Team Leader, Dudbrook House

The story behind the results

A long lie — being left on the floor for more than an hour — raises mortality risk by over 50%. Before Nobi, staff at Dudbrook House relied on mats and hourly checks: reactive measures that often led to late interventions, unnecessary hospital transfers, and added pressure on carers.

With Nobi Smart Lights installed in every room, long lies have been eliminated completely. The system integrates seamlessly into daily routines, giving staff confidence, safeguarding residents’ independence, and reassuring families.

"We didn’t see how this kind of technology would work within a care home environment. We had a resident who was a high risk of falls and were always ending up in A&E. That particular night the paramedic was able to come out, see the video and see that they would be OK to stay within our care. For me that was a resident not having to sit in A&E for 6 to 8 hrs, distressing for the resident and the family. Even the paramedic said ‘I can’t believe this sort of technology exists’. That was a gold moment for Nobi for me.” Sean Watson, Director, St Michaels Homes Ltd

Voices from the floor & family

“ I never have to worry about my mum now. I know that she’s safe with Nobi.” Beverley Buckingham, Family Member

“ Staffing pressure is reduced dramatically.” Claire Watson, Director, St Michaels Homes Ltd

Dudbrook House proves that safety and independence can go hand in hand. With Nobi, residents live with confidence, families feel reassured, and staff are free to focus on what matters most: delivering truly dignified care.
