Employ your own carers or personal assistants? Give them one place for daily notes, medication, the rota and handovers, and see it all yourself on your phone. Half price for direct payment employers, for good.
Half price: 5 PAs on the Supported Living edition is £30 + VAT a month instead of £60. A free month to try it first.
Real screens from our demo service (every name is invented).
On their own phones, so nothing gets lost in notebooks, texts or WhatsApp.
Write or dictate a note at the end of each shift, so the next PA knows how the day went.
Record each dose as given, refused or missed, with stock counts. A missed dose is flagged straight away.
Clock in and out from the phone. The hours become timesheets, so there is no arguing over who worked when.
See the rota on their phone, ask for holiday and offer to swap shifts.
Food and fluid, sleep, bowel, seizures and vital signs, if you want them recorded.
Handover notes for the next PA, a team chat for everyone, and private messages to one person.
Run your team from your phone or a computer. A family member can do it with you or for you.
Who is working when, gaps that need cover, and holiday requests to approve.
Timesheets from the clock-ins, ready to send to you or your payroll service each month.
Notes, medication and incidents in one place, ready to show at your care review or to your direct payments team.
Right to work checks, training certificates and DBS details, with reminders before anything runs out.
Anyone employing their own carers, rather than buying care from an agency.
You receive a direct payment from your council and employ your own personal assistants.
A parent, partner or adult child employs the carers and runs the team on their behalf.
Your NHS personal health budget pays for carers you employ yourself.
From one or two PAs to a team covering 24 hours. Each PA has their own login.
Care App is an installable web app: carers add it to their home screen from the browser, and it opens like any other app. No app store, no updates to install.
Half price, permanently. Tick "I employ my own carers" when you sign up and every bill is half price: for example, 5 PAs on the Supported Living edition is £30 + VAT a month instead of £60. The discount covers one person receiving care. Already signed up? Email hello@care-app.uk and we will apply it. How it works.
It depends on your council and your support plan. Some direct payments teams agree to costs that help you manage your support; ask yours. If they will not, the half price discount still applies.
No. Care App records the hours your PAs work and turns them into timesheets you can send to your payroll service or use yourself. It does not pay wages or send anything to HMRC.
Yes. The person who signs up manages the account and can give other family members a manager login, so you can share the job.
No app store download. PAs open app.care-app.uk on their phone, sign in and add it to their home screen, where it works like any other app on iPhone or Android.
Only the people you give a login to. You decide who has access and can remove a PA's login when they leave. Private messages can only be read by the two people in them.
Add your PAs and use it on real shifts. Tick "I employ my own carers" when you sign up for half price. No setup fee, no contract.
