Flag-Raising at Care Homes
Flags help mark birthdays, national holidays, commemorative days and other special occasions. They create visibility, strengthen a sense of community and contribute to meaningful moments for residents, relatives and staff.
Uptimast® is welfare technology in practice – a fully automatic flagpole that enables care homes, elderly centres and residential facilities to ensure consistent and timely flagging without requiring staff involvement.
With intelligent technology and app control, the flag is raised and lowered completely automatically – correctly, with dignity and on time, every time.

Make Flag-Raising at Care Homes Simple and Reliable with Uptimast®
Save Time and Staff Resources
In elderly care, time is precious, and staff should be focused on residents – not on manually raising and lowering flags in all kinds of weather.
With Uptimast®, flag-raising becomes fully automated. The system can be scheduled to raise and lower the flag automatically, helping care homes maintain traditions and mark important occasions without requiring staff involvement.
Create Meaningful Moments for Residents
Flags are often used to mark birthdays, national holidays, commemorative days and other special occasions. These visible gestures help create a sense of recognition, celebration and community for residents, relatives and staff.
By ensuring that the flag is always displayed at the right time, Uptimast® helps care homes maintain meaningful traditions and memorable moments throughout the year.
Safe and Reliable Automatic Flag-Raising
With Uptimast®, you avoid missed flag-raising occasions, manual handling and everyday practical challenges. The system is designed for reliable outdoor operation and can be controlled through an app and online calendar.
The flag is raised and lowered automatically, consistently and on time – every time.
A Flexible and Future-Proof Solution
Uptimast® can be programmed for recurring flag days as well as individual events. These may include birthdays, anniversaries, memorial occasions, official visits or other important dates specific to your organisation.
The result is a flexible solution that adapts to your needs while ensuring consistent and dignified flagging throughout the year.
How Uptimast® Works – The Automatic Flagpole
Uptimast® is a fully automatic and intelligent flagpole that raises and lowers the flag entirely on its own. The patented system is controlled via mobile phone or PC, allowing users to create, edit and manage flagging schedules with ease.
Everything is controlled wirelessly, eliminating the need for manual flag handling. The flag remains permanently attached to the flagline and is automatically stored in the discreet equipment box beneath the flagpole when not in use.
Key Features
- Scheduled flagging on selected dates and occasions
- Instant raising or lowering of the flag via mobile phone or PC
- Full-mast and half-mast flagging
- Real-time monitoring and status updates showing whether the flag is raised or lowered
- Easy administration through both mobile devices and desktop computers
A Complete Flagging Solution
Uptimast® is delivered as a complete solution and can either replace an existing flagpole or be installed in a new location to maximise visibility and impact.
The result is reliable, consistent and dignified flagging – automatically and on time, every time.
