Improving Outcomes & Reducing Costs : A Medway Council & Kyndi Success Story

0​8 July 2025

Date: April 2025

Overview:

Ian, a dementia patient living at home with his wife and primary caregiver, experiences heightened behavioural issues, particularly aggression during the evening hours. This has strained his wife's ability to provide care and negatively impacted their daily lives. Moving Ian into a residential care home was being considered.

Intervention:

Following a panel assessment, Circadacare was installed into Ian’s home. This technology aimed to stabilize Ian’s circadian rhythm, addressing his sundowning behaviours.

Results:

Within 4 weeks, a significant reduction in Ian's aggressive behaviours was observed, leading to a calmer environment for both him and his wife. This prevented a caregiver breakdown and has enabled Ian to remain in his own home, with his wife as the primary carer. This single intervention has saved Medway Council £35,000.

‘ Medway Council needs to achieve significant cost savings in year, and we are actively looking to deploy Technology Enabled Care solutions which enable people to live in their own homes for longer, whist saving money. Using Circadacare is helping us to achieve these cost savings, which is improving the quality-of-care provision in the Medway area.’ - Robert Kennedy, Head of Operations, Kyndi
