Controlling costs in your care setting: are you paying more than you need to?

Running a care service today is more complex than ever. From staffing shortages to increasing overheads and budget cuts – managing a care setting comes with daily pressures. And yet, many care providers across the UK are spending far more than they need to on digital tools.

If you’re juggling multiple systems for care management, staff rotas, medication records, or HR admin – it’s time to take a closer look.

 

The hidden cost of disconnected systems

 

It’s not unusual to see one platform used for digital care planning, another for eMAR software, a third for rota management, and a separate tool for HR and payroll. On the surface, it might seem manageable – but behind the scenes, this fragmented setup leads to:

• Multiple contracts and licence fees

• Extra admin switching between platforms

• Data silos when systems don’t connect

• Manual processes that increase workload and risk

Instead of simplifying operations, these disjointed systems often cause delays, errors, and a higher monthly spend than expected.

 

What might you actually be spending?

 

Here’s a realistic breakdown based on conversations we’ve had with care providers:

By the time all systems are accounted for, many care providers are shocked to see how much they’re spending. That’s where all-in-one care software like Care Control makes a difference.
