JanusC4 Secures Les Bourgs Hospice in Community-Driven Upgrade

Les Bourgs Hospice, a vital non-profit organisation providing hospice care in Guernsey, needed to upgrade its ageing access control system. A well-known security firm spearheaded a collaborative effort with Grosvenor Technology and other industry partners to provide a modern, secure solution for the hospice's staff and residents.

The Challenges of out-dated Access Control Systems

The hospice’s existing access control system was outdated and becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Rising component costs and limited availability of access cards posed challenges for the facility. A modern, reliable solution was needed to ensure the safety and security of residents, visitors and staff.

The Power of Collaboration

The security firm, in partnership with Grosvenor Technology and others, designed and implemented a comprehensive access control upgrade for Les Bourgs Hospice.

Grosvenor Technology provided the core of the new system with its powerful yet easy-to-use JanusC4 access control platform. Running on a Grosvenor Technology mini PC, JanusC4 offered a fully featured solution that was simple to configure and manage for hospice staff.

A card reader manufacturer recognised the need for a user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing solution and recommended their RX2 advanced OSDP access control reader. This slimline reader offered a seamless transition without requiring redecoration.

The entire system was pre-configured and tested before installation to minimise disruption to the hospice. The hospice was also supplied with pre-programmed credentials, and these were issued to all staff to ensure a smooth transition.

A More Secure Future For Les Bourgs

The upgraded access control system provides enhanced security for residents, visitors, and staff, offering peace of mind for all. JanusC4’s intuitive interface simplifies system management, giving hospice staff greater control over site access without the need to navigate complex or multiple systems.

“We have received superb service from the team and partners throughout the entire process,” said Rob Jones, Chief Executive Officer at Les Bourgs Hospice. “The work they have done has not only provided us with cutting-edge security but has also significantly reduced the financial burden on the hospice. We are deeply grateful for their generosity and expertise.”
