Reliable Wi-Fi for retirement homes and care facilities
Wi-Fi in nursing homes – secure, eligible Internet solutions for retirement and nursing homes
Digital participation, modern care and connection to the outside world
In care facilities, assisted living and retirement homes, stable Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the norm. This is because digital participation is now more than ever an important part of quality of life – especially for older people. Easy access to the internet enables residents to stay in touch with family and friends, use online services or enjoy entertainment. At the same time, care staff benefit from more efficient work processes when, for example, digital documentation or mobile visits run smoothly via the internal specialist network.
With HOTSPLOTS’ Wi-Fi solutions, you can create the technical basis for a modern, networked facility – secure, flexible and tailored to your needs.
Digital participation in retirement homes: Improved quality of life through stable Wi-Fi
Reliable Wi-Fi opens up new freedoms for older people. They can easily communicate with relatives, make video calls, write emails, or consume digital content. Especially in care facilities, where everyday life is often characterized by routines, digital offerings provide a welcome change. Access to the internet also means participation: in society, in information – and in family life.
In 2025, around 87% of people over the age of 60 were already using the internet – among 80-year-olds, the figure was 62%. This makes Wi-Fi the basis for social contacts, entertainment, and mental stimulation in old age.
Internet in retirement homes: video calls, entertainment, and social participation
Nowadays, access to the internet means more than just information:
- Video calls with family and grandchildren
- Streaming and entertainment (video and audio)
- Digital games and learning opportunities
With stable Wi-Fi access, you can contribute to the activation, well-being, and mental health of your residents. At the same time, you create a modern environment that is also natural for younger generations—for example, when children and grandchildren visit.
Wi-Fi for nursing staff and administration – GDPR-compliant networks
Care and administrative staff also benefit from a stable Wi-Fi structure:
- Mobile documentation via tablet
- Access to electronic patient records
- Real-time internal communication
Hotsplots ensures that resident Wi-Fi and specialist networks are separated from each other in accordance with GDPR. VLAN and multi-SSID-enabled access points ensure maximum security. Medically approved hardware (e.g., DIN EN 60601–1‑2) can also be easily integrated.
WLAN login models for nursing homes: direct access, user login, or ticket login
With HOTSPLOTS, you can design access to suit your facility:
- Direct login: immediate, free Internet access without registration
- User login: registration required, access may be subject to a fee – including billing by HOTSPLOTS
- Ticket login: access codes (Wi-Fi vouchers) for visitors or temporary stays.
Optional: Limitation of data volume and usage time. A youth protection filter ensures a safe surfing experience – particularly important in multi-generational households.
WLAN costs in nursing homes – participation models and refinancing
As the operator, you retain full control over your WLAN offering – both technically and financially. HOTSPLOTS offers you a participation model in which your investments are partially refinanced:
- Full cost control
- Flexible financing models
- Optional revenue sharing
Your advantage: Wi-Fi costs become calculable and can partially pay for themselves.
