Care App for phones and tablets

The home care app your carers will actually use

Each carer sees today's visits in order, with the address, a map link and what to do at each one. Managers see who has arrived, who is running late and which visits are done.

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 home care

Built for the way your service works.

Visits in order

The day as a list of visits with the gap between each, a "depart by" time and a running late warning.

Visit verification

GPS clock-in checked against the client's address, or a QR code in the home.

Travel time and pay

Travel and waiting time worked out between calls, with National Minimum Wage checks on effective pay.

Report a problem at the door

A missed visit or no answer is reported from the visit card, straight to the office.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best app for home care in the UK?

It depends on your agency. Care App puts the carer app, rota, eMAR, timesheets, pay preparation and invoicing in one system with published prices. See our honest comparison of UK care software, including Birdie and CareLineLive.

Does the home care app have GPS check-in?

Yes. Carers clock in from the phone and the location is checked against the visit; you can also put a QR code in the home for carers to scan on arrival.

Does it work in areas with poor signal?

Yes. If the signal drops, clock-ins, care notes and health records are saved on the phone and sent automatically when the signal returns.

How much does it cost for a home care agency?

The Domiciliary Care edition is £12 per user per month for the first 10 users and less for each user after that, with no setup fee and a free month. See the packages page.
