What sets mCare apart from other care home management software?

Person Centred Software are the market-leaders in digital care solutions for a reason – let’s discuss what sets mCare apart from other care home management software and why you should consider our products.  

For over 10 years, Person Centred Software have been providing digital solutions to enhance the level of care for care organisations and has been a trusted partner for care homes that have embarked on their digital journey. Because our products are made for carers and loved by carers, we understand that meeting the complex and changing needs of person-centred care provision requires intuitive and adaptable solutions that both improve and streamline care provision today and can evolve with the changing demands and regulatory requirements of care.  

Not only this, but with so many different aspects of care to consider, a software provider that brings everything you need together in one place is a provider that understands the day-to-day aspects of what it is to provide care. This is why the digital solutions of Person Centred Software, specifically mCare, is perfectly designed to meet the needs of your care home today as well as act as the perfect partner for your care home’s growth over the long term. 

Everything you need in one place with mCare 

While some systems will be designed to provide digital care planning solutions for care homes, sometimes they require providers to input data into multiple different systems or different areas of the system and nothing pulls through, which takes time and can be susceptible to miscommunications and so undermines the point of having a digital care planning system in the first place. Or it could be that they just aren’t as intuitive as mCare, where you have to go through a needless number of clicks to get what you want, and information isn’t in the place you think it ought to be. Our digital social care record system, known as mCare, doesn’t just recreate the process of inputting and recording care notes from paper to digital, it does far more than that. 

For example, mCare’s icon-driven interface means that carers can use icons to input certain aspects of routine care, such as helping a resident to dress, making them a drink or helping them to brush their teeth, which means that they won’t have to write the same few phrases over and over again. This is time that quickly adds up to a significant amount of the working day lost to needless admin work. This gives carers the time and space to think about their care notes, about how the resident is feeling, the time to have conversations with them and engage in a meaningful way – this is one of the reasons why mCare is the leading software provider, it’s not just that it improves the process, but it streamlines it too. Our system of recording at the point of care means that there is a seamless flow of information that is always at the press of a button. 

Apart from the icon-driven interface, mCare boasts a range of features that are tailored to put the quality of life for residents front and centre. Rather than just being a means of speeding up administrative tasks (which it still does second to none), there are a number of features of mCare that give care staff the tools they need to go beyond just the recording of care notes – for example, features such as ‘Who I Am’ give care staff a full life story of residents so that they may tailor their care exactly to the likes, preferences and personalities of each individual resident.  

‘Effective Handover’ is also a feature that not only makes the lives of care staff much easier, but it means that the time that would otherwise be taken to read handover notes can instead be used to spend more time with residents.  

Another example of mCare going the extra mile to ensure the best resident experience possible is the feature that matches staff and resident interests, so as to help foster more meaningful relationships between staff and those they care for. This is the type of feature that sets mCare apart – we always focus on the resident as a human being first.
