Why providers switch

If your team is juggling separate systems, spreadsheets and paperwork, OVcare brings the day-to-day work together.

Keep your records together

Care records, HR, reporting and compliance in one platform, with less switching between systems.

Make oversight simpler

Find the information you need for management reviews and give inspectors access through the Inspector Portal.

Support your team through the move

Get help with setup and data transfer, plus training before you go live and ongoing support.

Understand your costs

Pricing per home gives you a clearer view of costs as your occupancy changes.

Your questions answered

Plan your switch with confidence

What happens to your records, how training works and how to plan around inspections or an existing contract.

What about our existing records?

We give you a straightforward method to transfer your data across and guide you through the process step by step. It is designed to be as simple as possible so your team can get records moved without needing technical knowledge or starting from scratch.

Will our staff resist a new system?

OVcare is built to be simple. Most staff find it quicker to use than what they were on before. Everyone is trained before go-live, and ongoing training is free whenever new people join.

We're in the middle of an inspection cycle.

Tell us about any upcoming inspection so we can plan setup, record transfer and training around your service's commitments.

We're locked into a contract with our current provider.

Tell us your current contract end date so we can agree the setup, record transfer and training steps before choosing a go-live date.

How long will it actually take?

Setup time depends on your configuration, the records you need to transfer and staff training. We agree a go-live date with you after reviewing your requirements and existing commitments.

What if OVcare isn't right for us?

Book a demo first and see it working in a setting like yours. If it's not the right fit we'll tell you. We'd rather you make the right choice than sign up for something that doesn't work for your homes.

From a care provider

Support that continues after setup

I have worked in children's residential care for over twelve years and used most of the main systems in this sector. OVcare is the easiest to navigate day to day, but what has stood out more than anything is the support. Training was thorough, the team were actually reachable when we had questions, and any issues were dealt with quickly. Other systems we used felt like you were on your own once you signed up. With OVcare that has never been the case.
