Digital signage software for care homes and day centres
Pantarix is digital signage software for care homes, day centres and social-care facilities: it manages the dining-room, common-room and reception screens from the cloud. Schedule the daily greeting with the date and the weather, the activities calendar, the menu, birthdays and photos from activities, with large text and high contrast, and without anyone having to touch the screen. Families see in reception what is happening in the home.

A day with Pantarix
How it is used in care homes and day centres
- 9:00 · Good morning
The dining-room screen says good morning with the date, the weather and today’s activities. It switches on by itself at 8:30.
- 16:30 · Bingo
The common room announces the afternoon bingo and the photos from last week’s outing. The activities coordinator uploaded them from her phone.
- Sunday · Families
In reception, the week’s programme and the notice about the families’ meeting. It changes by itself every Monday with the new schedule.
Examples
Example content for care homes and day centres
Boards made with Pantarix templates and AI Studio. Yours will carry your logo, your colours and your prices.
Features
What a business like yours uses every day
Different content by time of day
Breakfast, lunch, afternoon and evening: each slot plays its playlist without anyone changing it. By weekday and by date too.
Updated from your phone
A price, a photo or a notice changes from the phone and is on every screen in seconds.
Works offline
The player stores the content locally. If the internet drops, the screen keeps playing the last thing it downloaded.
Several sites, one account
Group screens by site or area and publish to all at once, or to each its own. Each manager sees only their part.
Videos, images and live
MP4, JPG and PNG, plus HLS or RTSP channels: the match at the bar or a corporate channel in the waiting room.
Landscape or portrait
TVs in landscape, totems in portrait: the same playlist adapted to each orientation.
Automatic power on and off
Screens switch on and off with your opening hours over HDMI-CEC.
AI-generated posters
Write what you want to promote and AI Studio composes the poster with your logo, colours and typography, scheduled at the right time.

Common questions from care homes and day centres
Can I play music or TV?
Yes. A live channel or a streaming radio station in the playlist, and background music while the boards are on screen.
Can I use large-type templates?
You design the boards (or we prepare them with you) and upload them as images. We recommend large text and high contrast.
What if the Internet goes down at the home?
The screen keeps playing the stored content and updates when the connection returns.
Is it easy for the home’s staff to use?
Yes. The dashboard is a simple website on a computer or phone: upload a photo or type the notice, pick the screen and you are done. No technical skills needed.
Can I show the date and a daily greeting?
Yes. Schedule a welcome poster per weekday, or generate it with AI Studio with the date and the day’s activities.
What content suits older people?
Large text, high contrast, few elements per screen and long reading times. Pantarix lets you set each poster’s duration; we recommend 20 seconds or more.
