Care App for phones and tablets

The care home app for staff and managers

Staff record care, medication rounds and observations on a phone or tablet as they go. Managers see every resident's record live, with the rota, timesheets and invoicing in the same system.

Works on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers. No app store download. From £10 per user per month.

What carers do in the app

Everything a carer needs on shift, on their own phone.

Today's visits in order

Each visit with the time, address, a map link and the care actions for that person, plus a "running late" warning and their own hours, shifts and miles for the week and month.

Care notes in seconds

Write or dictate a care note on the phone; voice dictation turns speech into text.

Medication with a MAR

Record each dose as given, refused or missed, with stock counts; missed doses alert the manager.

Clock in by GPS or QR

Clock in and out from the phone, checked against the visit location or a QR code at the door.

Observations

Vital signs, food and fluid, sleep, bowel, seizures and catheter records from one screen.

Handover and messages

Handover notes for the next shift, staff chat and the noticeboard.

What managers see

The same records, live, on a computer or a phone.

Live visits

Who is on shift, who they are with and which visits are done, refreshed every minute.

Alerts that matter

Missed doses, missed clock-ins, overdue reviews and incidents raised straight to the manager.

Rota and timesheets

Build the rota, see clock-ins become timesheets and prepare pay from them.

CQC evidence

Care plans, risk assessments, incidents and audits in one place, plus a CQC mock inspection and PIR figures worked out from your records.

Made for care homes

Built for the way your service works.

eMAR rounds

Medication recorded dose by dose, with PRN protocols, controlled drugs and missed-dose alerts.

Rooms and beds

Occupancy at a glance, with residents linked to their rooms.

Observations and clinical scores

Vital signs, food and fluid, NEWS2, Waterlow, MUST and falls risk, with alerts when scores cross a threshold.

Handover and families

Shift handover notes, and a family portal for updates and messages.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a nursing home app for staff?

Yes. Care App's Nursing Home edition runs on staff phones and tablets, with eMAR, clinical scores such as NEWS2 and Waterlow, observations and handover.

Can care home staff share tablets?

Yes. Each staff member signs in with their own account, so every record shows who wrote it; the app runs on shared tablets as well as personal phones.

How much does the care home app cost?

The Residential and Nursing Home editions start at £14 per user per month for the first 10 users and cost less for each user after that, with no setup fee and a free month. See the packages page.

Does it work if the Wi-Fi drops?

Yes. Care notes, observations and clock-ins are saved on the device and sent automatically when the connection returns.
