For home care teams

Every visit matters. So does every carer.

Your carers work in different homes, often on their own. Bring their good work into view, share recognition across the team and keep managers connected to everyday care.

Between visits

Recognition that travels with your carers.

Your carers rarely share a shift. CareKudos gives them a team they can feel, wherever the next visit is.

  • Post from the phone between visits, in about 30 seconds
  • Colleagues send Peer Stars from wherever they are
  • Managers recognise good work without being on site
  • A Respite tab for short breathing moments on busy rounds

Families

Thank-yous you can trust.

In home care, families are often the only other people who see the care. In domiciliary mode, a relative confirms that a visit took place before giving a Family Star. That keeps recognition fair, and evidence credible.

  • Visit confirmed before every Family Star
  • A Family Star is worth five Peer Stars
  • Up to two Family Stars per relative each month

Family features are part of the Advance and Enterprise plans.

For registered managers

See your team, even when you can't see the visits.

When carers work alone, problems show late. Staff Voice and recognition patterns show you who is thriving and who needs a conversation.

  • Monthly anonymous Staff Voice survey
  • Signals when someone may be at risk of leaving
  • Well-led evidence report, sorted under the CQC's key questions

Leaving-risk signals are part of the Advance and Enterprise plans.
