Skilled nursing and long-term care communities face constant pressure to manage costs, support limited staff, and meet the daily needs of residents with varying levels of ability. Small inefficiencies—like confusing, hard-to-use, or unreliable TV—can quickly add up to lost time and added strain on staff.
The OnStream entertainment platform from DISH Business helps simplify in-room entertainment for patients and residents, while supporting more efficient operations.
Here's how:
1. Reduce staff interruptions
TV-related questions and technical issues are a common but avoidable drain on staff time. OnStream combines live TV, streaming, and casting into a single, intuitive interface so residents can watch their favorite content with ease. Plus, 99% signal reliability helps to minimize disruptions, so teams can stay focused on care versus fixing TV issues.*
2. Make navigation easier for residents
OnStream is designed by industry experts, and features an interactive channel guide, 40% larger on-screen text, familiar channel logos, and senior-friendly programming. Residents can more easily access content on their own, reducing confusion and the need for assistance.
3. Deliver cost-effective service
Our solutions are designed to work with your existing TVs and infrastructure, helping communities provide quality entertainment without costly upgrades or downtime. Plus, our live TV solution, SMARTBOX2, boasts an energy-efficient design that can save each property up to $4K on utility costs per year.**
By simplifying a system used every day, communities can reduce friction, improve efficiency, and better support both residents and staff.
And it's more affordable than you might expect.
