CQC 2026 Single Assessment Framework is live — See how Careroot keeps you compliant →
200+ features. One platform.

Everything a care agency needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Every feature exists because a care coordinator, registered manager, or CQC inspector told us they needed it. Built for the real world of UK domiciliary and supported living care.

Upload existing paper care plans as PDF. AI reads every page and converts to digital format. Manager reviews each one before it goes live.

Built for CQC 2026

The CQC’s 2026 Single Assessment Framework requires digital evidence at the centre of how services are assessed. Careroot generates that evidence from every interaction — automatically.

No other platform has this

Built for the moments that matter most.

Every care agency will face a medical emergency. Most are not prepared. Careroot is.

One-tap emergency cascade

The red SOS button is fixed at the bottom of every carer’s visit screen — always visible, never scrolled away. One tap and simultaneously: SMS to on-call manager with GPS, SMS to all emergency contacts, email to GP, incident auto-created, event logged with full details.

SMS cascadeWhatsApp alertsVoice callAuto incidentGPS logged

Full medical record in 10 seconds — no login

Every client gets a unique QR code and 6-digit PIN generated at onboarding. The manager prints an A5 card — it goes on the client’s fridge door. When paramedics arrive: scan QR, see full medical record immediately.

Paramedics see

  • DNR status — red banner if applicable
  • Full active medication list
  • All allergies with severity
  • Medical conditions and diagnoses
  • GP name and phone number
  • Emergency contacts

Access time-limited to 4 hours. Manager notified by SMS instantly.

Family and client SOS

The SOS button is not just for carers. Family members on the portal have a visible emergency button. Clients with portal access have one too. Same cascade. Same response. Because emergencies don’t only happen during visits.

DNR status cannot be missed

Do Not Resuscitate status displays as a red banner at the top of every screen — care plans, visit screens, paramedic access, family portal. Every person sees it immediately.

Is your agency ready for a medical emergency right now?

Works underground. In a basement. In rural areas with no signal.

Careroot caches everything needed for each visit before carers leave the house. Complete the entire visit offline — notes, medications, meals, tasks, check-in, check-out. Everything syncs automatically the moment signal returns.

“She loves Nigerian pepper soup on cold days.”

The client’s daughter knows her mum loves pepper soup in winter and remembers exactly how she makes it. She submits the recipe with steps. Manager approves. It appears on the carer’s visit screen the next morning. That is person-centred care.

Person-centred care starts here

Margaret only eats from the blue plates.

Care plans describe what support someone needs. Food plans describe who they are. Careroot captures both.
