Oakland Care Group Reduce Risks From Power Cuts With ‘Powercall Power Within The Hour’
Dedicated to providing high quality care and for the residents at its care homes on the South Coast, Oakland Care Group has contracted with shentongroup’s Powercall generator callout service to ensure it has standby power during a power outage. Now, thanks to the unique Powercall service, residents and staff have peace of mind knowing that when a powercut occurs they will have a standby generator in situ and connected up within an hour.
Oakland Care is a family owned business with 25 years experience in caring for the elderly. The company operates care homes, in Littlehampton and Bognor Regis, providing luxurious accommodation and care facilities. Always looking for ways of ensuring that residents have every possible care and facility, Chief Executive, Penny Eggebrecht, decided to investigate the Powercall generator service after reading about it in a magazine.

“Our residents could be vulnerable when a power outage occurs and Oakland Care Group is keen to minimise any risk”, said Penny Eggebrecht. “As a company that is dedicated to providing high quality care for all our residents we wanted to ensure that all essential facilities such as heating and light could be provided in the event of a prolonged powercut.”

Powercall’s nationwide service is able to despatch a generator from a local depot with a target of 1-hour delivery time, and a guaranteed maximum of 3 hours. The network is serviced by a 24/7 call centre, which despatches a generator from the nearest local depot.

“By contracting with Powercall, Oakland Care Group’s management and residents are assured that when a powercut occurs they will not be subjected to any prolonged inconvenience or discomfort,” concluded Penny Eggebrecht.

Since it was launched in 2005, shentongroup’s Powercall service has won a large number of contracts from a wide range of companies including healthcare organisations, universities, local authorities, care homes, retail businesses and organisations with multi-site applications. With the demand for emergency power set to grow at 7% per annum over the next five years, and with predictions of a more unstable and less secure mains power supply Powercall is finding a high demand for this unique service.
