Care Software Solutions

Purpose-built digital tools for managing domiciliary care, supported living, and day centre services, designed with care providers, for care providers.

Managing a care service means juggling care plans, staff rotas, compliance documentation, medication records, incident reports, and financial records, all while ensuring the people you support receive outstanding care. The right software can transform how you run your service, saving hours of administrative time and giving you a clear, real-time picture of your operations.

At Caring Alliance, we help care providers select, implement, and get the most from care management software. We understand that different care settings have different needs, so we focus on software that fits the way you work, not the other way round.

Our Software Products

Purpose-built management systems, developed for specific care and support settings. Explore each product below.

Why Our Software Is Different

We build care management software as WordPress plugins, not locked-down SaaS subscriptions. That fundamental difference changes everything for you.

Built on WordPress: A Platform Trusted by Billions

WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet, from small community blogs to global enterprise platforms. By building our care software as WordPress plugins, we tap into a platform that is mature, secure, constantly updated, and supported by a worldwide developer community. You are not relying on a small startup or a single company that could disappear tomorrow. Your software runs on the most widely used content management system in the world.

Your Data, Your Control

Most care software providers host your data on their servers and charge you every month for the privilege of accessing it. If they increase their prices, change their terms, or shut down, your data is held hostage. Our approach is different. Because our software runs as WordPress plugins on your own hosting, you own your data. You decide where it is stored, who can access it, and what happens to it. You are never dependent on a third party to access your own care records.

One-Off Payment, Not a Subscription Trap

Care software subscriptions typically cost between £50 and £300 per month, every month, forever. Over three years, that adds up to thousands of pounds. Our software is a one-off payment. You buy it, you install it, and it is yours. No monthly fees, no per-user charges, no surprise price hikes. This makes it ideal for providers working with a tight budget, start-up services, and organisations that want to control their long-term costs.

User-Friendly

Our software runs entirely from the front end of your website. Staff and managers never need to touch the WordPress admin area. If you can use a website, you can use our software. No technical knowledge required.

Promoting Independence

Because you own the software and the data, you are not tied to us for the life of your service. You can manage your system independently, make changes as your service evolves, and grow without asking permission or paying more.

Empowering Providers

Other software solutions lock you into their ecosystem and their way of doing things. Our plugins put you in control. You can customise forms, adjust workflows, and configure the system to match how your service actually works, not how a software company thinks it should work.

Privacy by Design

Your data stays on your hosting, under your control. We do not have access to your care records, your staff data, or your service users' information. There is no third-party data harvesting and no advertising tracking. GDPR compliance is built in, with audit trails, consent management, and data retention controls.

Built-In Backups

WordPress has a mature ecosystem of backup solutions. We help you set up automated backups so your data is always safe. If anything goes wrong, you can restore your system in minutes. No relying on a SaaS provider to recover your data for you.

Continuous Updates

WordPress core is updated regularly by a global community of developers, meaning the platform your software runs on is always improving in security and performance. We also release updates to our plugins as new features are developed and regulatory requirements change.

UK-Based Support

Our team is based in Cheadle, Staffordshire. When you need help, you speak to people who understand the UK care sector, CQC and Ofsted requirements, and the realities of running a care service. No overseas call centres, no ticket queues, no jargon.

Implementation Support Included

We do not just hand you a download link and walk away. We support you every step of the way: installing the software on your hosting, configuring it for your service, migrating your existing data, training your staff, and being on hand for go-live. We want you to succeed with the software, not just buy it.

Who Benefits Most: Start-up care providers watching every penny · Existing providers tired of rising subscription costs · Services that want to own their data rather than rent it · Providers who value independence and control over their systems · Care organisations that want UK-based support from people who understand the sector

Software for Domiciliary Care

Manage care in the community with confidence, from scheduling visits to tracking outcomes.

The Challenge

Domiciliary care providers face unique logistical challenges: staff travelling between multiple service users' homes, complex rota management, varying care packages, and the need to evidence care delivery in real time. Paper-based systems lead to missed visits, incomplete records, and compliance gaps.

What the Software Does

  • Visit Scheduling & Rostering: Drag-and-drop scheduling with optimised travel routes, ensuring carers arrive on time and visits are allocated efficiently.
  • Electronic Call Monitoring (ECM): Real-time visit tracking with GPS check-in/check-out, proving visits were completed and alerting office staff to missed or late visits.
  • Mobile Carer App: Carers access care plans, record notes, log medications, and complete assessments on their phone or tablet, with no paperwork to bring back to the office.
  • Electronic Care Plans: Person-centred care plans that can be updated in real time, with risk assessments, daily notes, and outcome tracking all in one place.
  • Medication Management: Digital MAR charts with prompts, alerts for missed medications, and full audit trails for inspection.
  • Family & Service User Portal: Secure online access for families to view visit logs, care notes, and updates, building trust and transparency.
  • Invoicing & Financial Management: Automated invoicing based on completed visits, with integration to local authority payment systems and private client billing.
  • Compliance Reporting: One-click reports for CQC inspections, including staff training compliance, safeguarding logs, and care delivery evidence.
Who It's For: New domiciliary care agencies setting up systems · Existing providers moving from paper to digital · Services wanting to improve visit reliability and evidencing · Providers preparing for CQC inspection who need reliable documentation

Software for Supported Living

Coordinate care, support independence, and manage multiple properties and tenancies with ease.

The Challenge

Supported living services support individuals with learning disabilities, mental health needs, autism, or physical disabilities to live as independently as possible. Providers often manage multiple properties, complex tenancy arrangements, varying support levels per individual, and a mix of care and housing responsibilities. Software that works for residential care often doesn't fit the supported living model.

What the Software Does

  • Person-Centred Support Plans: Individual support plans focused on goals, independence, and outcomes, not just care needs. Track progress against personal objectives and aspirations.
  • Staff Rostering & Shift Management: Shift-based scheduling for 24/7 support, including sleep-ins and waking nights, with staff qualification matching to individual needs.
  • Multi-Property Management: Manage support across multiple properties and tenancies from a single dashboard, with clear visibility of each location and the individuals living there.
  • Risk & Behaviour Support: Digital behaviour support plans, positive behaviour support (PBS) tracking, and incident/accident recording with pattern analysis.
  • Outcome Tracking: Measure and evidence individual progress against agreed outcomes, essential for commissioner reviews and CQC inspections.
  • Medication & Health Appointments: Track medications, health appointments, and hospital visits with reminders and full history.
  • Tenancy & Housing Management: Link support records to tenancy information, rent tracking, and property maintenance schedules.
  • Family & Advocate Access: Secure portals for families, advocates, and commissioners to view progress and updates as appropriate.
  • Commissioner Reporting: Generate reports tailored to local authority requirements, showing outcomes achieved and value for money.
Who It's For: Supported living providers managing multiple properties · Services supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs · Providers transitioning from paper or generic care software · Services needing to evidence outcomes to commissioners

Software for Day Centres

Manage attendance, activities, transport, and outcomes for day service provision.

The Challenge

Day centres support individuals who live independently or with family but attend a day service for social interaction, activities, meals, and personal care. Managing attendance, transport, activity planning, individual goals, and multi-source funding requires a different approach from residential or domiciliary care software.

What the Software Does

  • Attendance Tracking: Digital sign-in/sign-out for service users, with planned vs. actual attendance comparison and absence alerts.
  • Activity & Session Management: Plan and schedule activities, assign staff, and record which service users participated, with outcome tracking for each session.
  • Individual Goal Tracking: Set and review personal goals for each service user: social, physical, cognitive, or emotional, and track progress over time.
  • Transport Coordination: Manage transport routes, vehicle scheduling, and driver allocation for service users who need help getting to and from the centre.
  • Meal & Dietary Management: Track dietary requirements, allergies, and meal preferences for each service user attending on any given day.
  • Staff Rostering: Schedule staff and volunteers by session, ensuring appropriate staffing ratios for each activity and attendance level.
  • Personal Care & Medication: Record any personal care provided during the day, including medication administration for service users who require it.
  • Funding & Billing: Manage multiple funding sources (local authority, self-funded, direct payments, or mixed), with per-session or per-day billing.
  • Outcome & Wellbeing Reporting: Evidence the impact of your day service using outcome reports, wellbeing measures, and service user feedback.
  • Family Communication: Share updates, photos, and activity summaries with families to keep them informed and engaged.
Who It's For: Day centres moving from paper registers to digital systems · Services managing mixed funding (LA, self-funded, direct payments) · Providers needing to evidence outcomes and impact to commissioners · Day services wanting to improve communication with families
