Domiciliary Care Software
Domiciliary Care Software needs to support domiciliary care agencies to improve the quality of care they provide, whilst maximising the use of valuable resources. It needs to do this all at as low a cost as possible, so care budgets can stretch further and deliver more care to those who need it.
At CarePlanner, we have worked closely with domiciliary care managers and care workers to understand exactly how this should be done.
As a result, we believe we have built the best domiciliary care software available today.
What does Domiciliary Care Software need to do?
Domiciliary care software needs to support both domiciliary care managers and care workers. These two roles have quite different requirements, we list out the main points below.
If you have a specific need, which isn’t mentioned below, feel free to contact our sales team directly and discuss your needs.

One Solution for all your Domiciliary Care requirements
CarePlanner covers all of the above needs and far more besides. With a centralised roster of all appointments and carers, new appointments can be assigned to the best suited carer with ease. CarePlanner holds information about each domiciliary care worker’s skills and certifications, enabling you to quickly see who is available to meet the appointment time and skills/certification requirements.
Training requirements and holiday bookings can be scheduled in via the same system, keeping everything in one place. This removes the risk of conflicting bookings.
Generating invoices from the same system used to schedule and track appointments removes human error. This enables exact calculations of appointment timings and even travel costs.
Consequently, timesheets can easily be generated for each care worker, detailing calls attended, training, holidays and travel. These can then easily flow into payroll calculations, via Sage Cloud 50 or other accounting systems utilising one of our integrations.
CarePlanner becomes the central, easy-to-use system for each aspect of your home care management.
Setting up Domiciliary Care Software
At CarePlanner we make sure that the set up of your domiciliary care software is painless and fast. We arrange free training for users within days of requesting a license and can help you to integrate with Everylife’s PASSsystem, Birdie, CM2000 (if you are required to use this), Sage Line 50 and other accounting systems as part of the setup process.
Additionally, we provide guidance on transferring over existing carers and other details from your old system.

CarePlanner Licensing
CarePlanner is licensed per concurrent administrator – meaning there is no extra cost when you add more care workers, or service users, to the system. Concurrent licensing means a single license can be used by multiple people – just not at the same time.
Furthermore, CarePlanner is licensed on a pay-as-you-go basis.
All contracts are rolling 30-day contracts, so you can scale up and down as and when you need to. No awkward year-long contracts or contractual lock-ins here.
For more information about licensing, see our licensing page. Or get in touch directly, we’d love to talk you through it.
