Supported by a full fiber optic backbone, Duke of Devonshire is wired for secure high speed data access throughout. High Speed Internet Access is available in all suites, and amenity spaces.

Several systems leverage the capacity of the network in order to offer residents the highest levels of security and comfort. Complete with a full service back-up generator our residents can be assured of an uninterrupted experience in the event of power failure.

The eMeds Network allows our nursing staff real-time access to the resident�s full and current medication profile. Displaying the resident�s picture and description, the eMeds Network ensures that the right resident is receiving the right dose, at the right time, by the right method, and with the right amount of inventory on hand. This allows us to offer our residents the highest level of care.

The Nurse Alert network covers every floor of the residence and offers help only a press of a button away. Wireless receivers allow our nursing staff to precisely locate residents who require timely response. Resident pendants, along with strategically located alert stations throughout the residence allow the residents a safe and secure environment throughout, and will alert staff of any required response.

In addition to the 72 channels of TV access, the HD LCD flat panels that are standard in all of our rooms offer residents options to benefit from our tranquil TV viewing, that broadcasts the calming effects of the sights and sounds of a saltwater aquarium to each room. InRoom Theatre offers residents scheduled movie broadcasts, along with access to an in-house Events, Dining Menu & Activities Channel to keep all of our residents advised of the array of events, excursions and activities!

Our very own luxury large screen theatre features a 12� screen, Rogers HD television programming for broadcasting major sporting events, Blu-Ray high definition disc player, DVD video player, full surround sound, along with a premium Sennheiser Direct to Ear IR headphone based audio system � a state-of-the-art wireless system that allows users to adjust their individual volume level for a more natural listening experience for those with or without hearing loss.

All rooms feature a secured and authenticated Electronic In-room Safe, with an American Disabilities Act approved keypad, along with a convenient magnetic stripe reader.

Security throughout the facility is a top priority in order to allow our residents free access throughout.
