Apps for Manchester care providers working across Greater Manchester.

Plan rounds that move between Manchester, Salford, Trafford and Stockport with realistic travel time between each call. Coordinators see where a round crosses the city centre at rush hour and can rebalance it before the week starts, rather than discovering late calls on Monday morning. Double handed calls are planned so both carers can arrive together, and a round's total travel time is visible before it is published to staff.

Carers without a car can be given rounds that follow tram lines and bus corridors, with walking time between stops included. When a tram line is disrupted, coordinators can see whose visits are affected and reassign the nearest available carer. Coordinators can also mark walking routes carers prefer after dark.

The tasks agreed in each person's care plan, from personal care to meal preparation, appear as a short checklist with space for notes. Carers record what was done, what was declined and anything that looked different from usual, with timestamps added automatically. Notes can be read by the next carer before they arrive, so a change spotted at breakfast is known by teatime.

For home visits and care home rounds, a record of each medicine given, refused or out of stock, matched to the list your trained staff keep from the prescription. The office is alerted to gaps, and the app never suggests or alters a dose. Managers can review a client's medication history in one screen when a pharmacy or GP surgery asks a question about what was given.

Schemes where residents live in their own flats with care on site need short, frequent visits and quick logging. We build a scheme view showing every flat, planned and unplanned calls, and responses to alarms recorded by staff on duty. Handover notes pass between day and evening teams so nothing reported by a resident is lost between shifts.

Relatives approved by the client, or holding the correct legal authority, see visit confirmations, short notes and upcoming changes. They can send messages to the office, which keeps carers' personal numbers private and every exchange on the client's record. Relatives living away from Manchester often say this is the update they look for each evening.

Reports grouped by borough, private payer or other funder, matching the formats each commissioner expects. Coordinators export visit data for invoices and monitoring returns without rebuilding spreadsheets for every council they work with. Visits missing a note or a check out are listed first, so they can be fixed before any invoice leaves the office.

When a client returns from hospital, coordinators record the restart date, any changes to the care plan made by the professionals involved, and the revised visit pattern. Carers are notified before their first visit so nobody arrives with outdated instructions, and the office can see that each one has opened the update.

Training certificates, refresher dates and right to work checks held per carer, with reminders before anything expires, sent to both the carer and their coordinator. Coordinators are warned before they place a carer whose required training has lapsed on a visit that needs it. Supervision dates sit alongside training.

One view of visits, missed calls, incidents and training across branches in different boroughs, with filters for each branch manager and a group view for directors and nominated individuals. Each figure links straight to the records behind it. Branch managers can schedule a weekly summary by email, and the same data feeds quality meetings without extra preparation.
