Microsoft Copilot for Business: What It Does and Is It Worth It?
5 Jan, 2026
Reliable phone systems supporting care delivery and family communication.
We understand the specific telephony requirements and communication workflows of elderly care businesses — ensuring every handset, call flow and integration is tailored to how your team works.
Bespoke VoIP and phone system packages designed specifically for the elderly care sector, aligned with your team size, call volumes and integration needs.
Centrally located in the City of London, providing hands-on VoIP deployment, network configuration and face-to-face support for elderly care firms.
Three routes to modern business telephony. We recommend the right one based on how your team actually works — not what generates the biggest commission.
Full cloud phone system
A complete business phone system hosted in the cloud — no PBX hardware on your premises. Calls route through secure data centres with automatic failover, giving you enterprise-grade reliability with zero maintenance. Scales from 2 users to 2,000.
Calling inside Teams
Already using Microsoft Teams for chat and meetings? Add external calling directly inside Teams — one app for everything. Your team makes and receives calls from their existing Teams interface on desktop, mobile or IP handsets. No separate phone system needed.
IP connectivity for existing PBX
Already have a PBX you're happy with? SIP trunking connects it to the internet instead of traditional ISDN lines — slashing your call costs while adding disaster recovery and flexible call routing. Keep your existing investment, modernise the connection.
Care homes need reliable phone systems for family enquiries, GP and NHS communications, staff coordination, and emergency contacts. Poor phone handling frustrates families, and unreliable systems compromise care delivery.
Cloudswitched provides reliable VoIP phone systems for UK care homes. We ensure family calls are handled warmly, staff can communicate across the home, and critical healthcare contacts are always reachable.
Establishing a Elderly Care presence in Northampton connects you with a well-connected town. Northampton is a large county town with a diverse economy rooted in shoe manufacturing heritage and expanding into logistics, technology, and professional services. The town's central England location and excellent road connections via the M1 make it a strategic hub for distribution and warehousing operations. The concentration of businesses in logistics, footwear, technology, professional services, distribution, manufacturing creates a natural market for Elderly Care services and fosters productive commercial relationships.
The combination of commercial opportunity and location makes Northampton compelling for Elderly Care firms. Travel access includes Approximately 65 minutes by London Northwestern Railway from Euston, then Northern line to Bank. Notable landmarks such as Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, Delapre Abbey, Royal and Derngate Theatre contribute to a distinctive business environment that Elderly Care & Nursing Homes firms value.
The economic landscape of Northampton spans logistics, footwear, technology, professional services, distribution, manufacturing, providing a robust environment for Elderly Care operations.

We've partnered with Fidelity Group — an award-winning UK hosted telephony provider — to deliver enterprise-grade VoIP solutions to businesses of all sizes. Their Horizon platform and our IT expertise means you get a phone system that's properly configured, integrated and supported.
Professional call handling with warm greetings, direct-to-unit routing, and voicemail ensuring family members can always reach or leave messages for their loved ones.
Internal extensions across all units, nurses stations, and offices enabling quick staff communication without leaving residents.
From hosted VoIP and Microsoft Teams Voice to SIP trunking and CRM integration, we cover every aspect of business telephony — ensuring your elderly care business communicates efficiently across every channel.
From first conversation to live phone system, we manage the entire process so the switch is seamless for your team.
We assess your current phone setup, call volumes, team structure and remote working requirements. We check your broadband is suitable for VoIP and recommend the right system — hosted VoIP, Teams Voice or SIP trunking.
We configure your entire phone system — call flows, auto-attendant menus, hunt groups, voicemail, user permissions and CRM integrations. We port your existing numbers so customers call the same number as before.
We pre-configure IP handsets, install softphone apps on laptops and mobiles, and provide hands-on training for your team. Everyone knows how to use the new system before we switch it on.
We manage the cutover to minimise disruption, monitor the system post-launch and provide ongoing technical support. Need a new user added, a call flow changed or a handset replaced? One call to us.

IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.
We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.
Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.
We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.
If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.
We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.
VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.
We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.
Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.
