The grant provided wi-fi controlled thermostats in every resident's apartment and in all common areas. All residents can now use their voice to control their individual thermostat without having to get up to adjust it. Staff can now control functions and help set individual thermostats to adjust temperatures remotely using software that tracks utility usage and monitors the equipment for malfunctions. When residents leave common areas or their apartments the temperature automatically sets to "economy mode".founded in 1979, the Christian Care companies began with 96 units of subsidized housing and a 60-bed nursing center on the phoenix campus.
