Small care homes lose staff time to paper notes, rota gaps, chasing small payments and keying in bills, while families compare homes online. Care records apps, rota software and accounting tools take on much of that, with residents' health information kept in systems built for it. The manager stays responsible to CQC for care records, staffing and what is shared with families.
