Technical support

You will have access to technology and applications to streamline your daily operations and cut down paperwork while ensuring care procedures, medications and wellbeing notes are recorded more accurately, saving time for carers and yourself, and helping ensure compliance. The system allows you to communicate with carers, clients and their families, and their GPs, so it boosts safety and monitoring. It also allows you to access franchisee support quickly.
