816 care homes closed since 2011.

Your care planning system handles daily records. Nobody handles the governance evidence the CQC actually rates you on. SAF quality statements, MAR charts, safeguarding logs, DoLS applications, staff supervision. CarePad handles all of it.

816

Care homes closed involuntarily since 2011. Not because of bad care. Because of documentation failures the CQC found on inspection.

34

Quality statements in the CQC Single Assessment Framework. Continuous evidence collection expected by end of 2026. Most providers have not started.

30%

Of care homes still use paper medication administration records. Gaps go unnoticed until the inspector arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace our care planning system?

No. Your care planning system handles daily care records. CarePad handles the governance documentation your care planning system does not touch: SAF evidence, MAR charts, safeguarding, DoLS, supervision, and CQC prep.

What is the Single Assessment Framework?

The CQC Single Assessment Framework (SAF) expects continuous evidence collection against 34 quality statements. CarePad tracks your evidence against every statement with a live progress dashboard.

How do digital MAR charts work?

Staff record each medication administration on a phone or tablet. Dose, time, refusals, PRN doses. Gaps are flagged immediately. No more paper grids on the medication trolley.

Is AI content safe for CQC inspections?

Every AI output requires registered manager or qualified professional review before filing. The AI drafts. The manager approves. Nothing is recorded without sign-off.

Does it handle multi-site care groups?

Yes. Enterprise tier includes a group-level dashboard with readiness scores, SAF progress, and training compliance across all your homes.

Can I export my data?

Yes. CSV and PDF export on all plans. Your data is yours. Cancel any month and take everything with you.

CarePad is an administrative tool. It generates compliance documentation for registered manager review. It does not provide medical advice or make care decisions. The qualified professional always signs off.
