Les Bourgs Hospice at Andrew Mitchell House, was founded in 1991 for the people of Bailiwick of Gurnsey. All residents of Bailiwick are able to come to the hospice as an in-patient, as well as for respite or day care. There is no charge for the services provided. Following substantial redevelopment and expansion in 2011, the property opened to offer a purpose-built hospice to meet the needs of Bailiwick. After many years of service, the hospice recently asked G4S to take over the maintenance of the ‘Entro’ access control system as originally installed. At G4S we realised the age of the system was becoming no longer supportable due to rising costs and difficulty in obtaining access cards. As a well-respected charity, providing critical services to Bailiwick, G4S recognised and acknowledged the contributions Les Bourgs Hospice make to the local community, and realised an upgrade to the security access systems would not only improve day-to-day security, but would also bring the facility up to today’s standards for access control and security. A Free-of-Charge upgrade was made possible by G4S with support from its partners Grosvenor Technology (Access Control) Third Millennium (Reader Technology) and Assa Abloy (Locking Solutions) – all market leaders. Compared to many systems, access control to the hospice is modest, but still needed to provide safety and security to its residents, visitors, and staff. After discussing reader options with Steve Greenaway, from Third Millennium, the RX2 advanced OSDP access control reader was chosen for its elegant and slimline profile, and easy configuration. As a replacement to the existing installation, the RX2 reader also provided a slightly larger footprint, removing the need for redecoration. Grosvenor Technology’s Bradley Cohen recommended the Janus C4 access platform, running on their supplied mini PC, would be the ideal solution, offering a fully featured access control system, easily configurable and very intuitive for the user. The hospice also had need of an additional access controlled door. But due to its location and recent decoration a cabled solution would be difficult. Pat Jefferies of Assa Abloy suggested their Aperio wireless locking solution would be ideal to solve problem. Following order and receipt of all equipment required, the complete system was test-bench assembled, and all doors and readers configured to site requirements. Finally, Third Millennium access credentials were programmed and issued to staff prior to the changeover of systems. The project highlights the value of collaborative partnerships between businesses and charities, demonstrating how businesses can make a significant impact on non-profit organisations. “We have received superb service from Keith and his team, and partners throughout the entire process” said Rob Jones, Chief Executive Officer. “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.” For more information about the services provided by Les Bourgs Hospice, please visit their website at: www.lesbourgshospice.org.gg
