Motivus and Zodiac Lightwaves Announce Senior Care Technology Partnership

Motivus Technologies and Zodiac Lightwaves Join Forces to Provide World-Class Support for Senior Care Organizations Across North America

One trusted partnership now covers IT, nurse call, and phone systems for senior and long-term care.

TORONTO, ON — July 16, 2026 — Senior and long-term care operators have long faced a gap in technology support, caught between the cost of in-house IT staff and general providers who don't know the sector. A new partnership between Zodiac Lightwaves and Motivus Technologies aims to close it, pairing Zodiac's nurse call and telephony expertise with Motivus's managed IT services and decades of combined experience in senior care.

Senior and long-term care depends on technology that cannot fail. Nurse call, telephony, networks, devices, and security all have to run around the clock. Yet most operators face a hard choice. Building an in-house IT team is costly and still leaves coverage gaps. Bringing in a general IT provider usually means a team with little experience in care settings. Nurse call and telephony, which sit at the center of resident safety, add a layer most providers are not built to handle.

The partnership closes that gap by putting each specialist where it belongs. Zodiac Lightwaves brings deep experience in nurse call and telephony. Motivus brings managed IT, security, and device management, with a team whose work in senior and long-term care spans more than 25 years. Each company refers clients to the other for the work it knows best.

For operators, the result is a full technology bench built around senior care, without the cost of staffing one internally. Between them, the two companies cover the technology a community depends on, from the systems that keep residents safe to the IT that keeps daily operations running.

“I started in long-term care IT more than 25 years ago, and the lesson has never changed: technology should never get between a caregiver and a resident. Motivus was built on everything those years taught me,” said Steve Robertson, CEO of Motivus Technologies. “We handle the systems, take the technology stress off the table, and treat every home with the planning, execution, professionalism, and empathy their staff and residents deserve. Partnerships like this one let us deliver on that promise across the entire spectrum of care, not just the server room.”

“Over the past three to five years, Zodiac Light Waves has established itself as a trusted Total IT solution provider to senior care communities across North America, delivering end-to-end design, implementation, and support for over 50 communities. Our work has spanned nurse call systems, enterprise telephony, and integrated IT infrastructure, giving operators a single, dependable partner for the technologies that keep their communities safe and connected. We have helped standardize solutions across several of the industry's leading chains, including Omni, Signature, Riverstone, and many others, building robust, unified IT ecosystems across their entire portfolios rather than one-off, site-by-site deployments,” added Hesam Mahdavi, CEO and Co-Founder of Zodiac Lightwaves.

On what this means for long-term care operators, Mahdavi said: “This consistency has allowed our partners to simplify vendor management, improve staff response times, and scale confidently as they grow, reinforcing Zodiac's reputation as a long-term technology partner rather than just a vendor.”

For long-term and post-acute care operators, the partnership means two specialists working from one connected relationship. Zodiac Lightwaves remains the nurse call and telephony expert, while Motivus covers managed IT, security, and device management, both focused on senior care.
