A complete digital care management system for adult day centres, delivering role-aware staff and management portals without ever needing access to the WordPress admin area.
Adult Day Centre Manager (ADCM) is a modular WordPress plugin that brings every part of running an adult day centre into one place: care records, quality assurance, HR, training, and risk management. It gives care staff and managers two dedicated frontend portals, so nobody needs WordPress admin skills to use it day to day.
Because ADCM is built to be extended, new modules can be added over time as self-contained files without touching the core plugin, so the system can grow alongside a centre's needs.
The scale of what comes built in.
A role-aware quick-action grid. Staff only see the tiles their role permits, and every form stays on the frontend.
| Module | Key Features | Minimum Role |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Notes | Structured records covering mood, food, medication, and transportation observations, with a required staff signature. | Support Worker |
| Support Plans | View access for support workers, edit access for care coordinators and above, all via frontend forms. | Support Worker |
| Care Reviews | Structured review records, with clear separation between viewing and editing permissions. | Support Worker |
| Incidents | Report accidents with a reporter signature and an interactive body map. | All staff |
| Safeguarding | A six-section report form covering the body map, witness details, and reporter signature. | All staff |
| Gallery | Drag-and-drop photo and video upload with a staging queue and lightbox viewer. | Support Worker |
| Key Documents | View and download shared organisational documents. | Support Worker |
| Policies | A read-only library grouped by category, with a reading progress bar and an acknowledgement button that records date and time. | All staff |

| My Profile | Profile photo upload and a personal signature (drawn or uploaded) that pre-fills report forms automatically. | All staff |

ADCM is a WordPress plugin, not a subscription SaaS product. That changes what you own, what you pay, and who controls your data.
ADCM runs on your own WordPress hosting. Your care records, staff data, and service user information stay on your server, under your control. No third party can hold your data hostage or cut off your access.
No monthly subscription, no per-user fees, no price hikes. You buy ADCM once and it is yours. Ideal for day centres working with a tight budget that need to control long-term costs.
WordPress powers over 40% of the internet. ADCM taps into a mature, secure, constantly updated platform with a worldwide developer community. You are not relying on a small startup that could disappear.
Staff and managers never see the WordPress admin area. Both portals run entirely from the front end. If you can use a website, you can use ADCM. No technical knowledge required.
Your data stays on your hosting. We do not have access to your care records or service users' information. No data harvesting, no advertising tracking. GDPR compliance is built in with audit trails and consent management.
You are not tied to us for the life of your service. You can manage your system independently, customise forms to match your centre's needs, and grow without asking permission or paying more.
WordPress has a mature backup ecosystem. We help you set up automated backups so your data is always safe and restorable in minutes. No relying on a SaaS provider to recover your data for you.
Our team in Cheadle, Staffordshire, installs and configures ADCM for your centre, migrates your existing data, trains your staff, and is on hand for go-live. Ongoing support from people who understand the UK care sector.
