For care homes and agencies

Most care software manages your residents.
Access Alert is built around them.

Every other platform treats the resident as a record. Access Alert gives every resident their own emergency app, their own physical ID card, and their own voice in their care.

Why care homes switch

Seven reasons Access Alert pays for itself

Each one is a real financial or legal risk your care home faces today.

01
CQC compliance, generated daily
Every check-in, medication log, and shift note is timestamped automatically. Export a CQC-ready report in one click on inspection day.
02
One agency shift costs more than us
Agency carers cost £180–£250 per shift. The shift marketplace fills gaps before you ever call an agency. One saved shift covers your subscription.
03
Below Good rating costs you residents
Self-funders are worth £1,400 a week. A Requires Improvement rating directly costs you occupancy. Continuous documentation protects your rating.
04
Lone workers have no legal protection
Health and Safety law applies to lone working carers. If a carer does not check out within 30 minutes, a coordinator is alerted automatically.
05
Informed families do not escalate
The number one CQC complaint trigger is families who could not get information. Access Alert gives families a real-time activity feed in plain English.
06
Good carers stay longer here
Replacing a carer costs £3,000–£5,000. Structured digital handovers and lone worker protection makes your home a place carers want to stay.
07
Digital records protect you legally
A fall, a missed medication, a safeguarding concern. Paper records get lost. Access Alert's timestamped record is your legal protection in any investigation.

More than software

Features no one else has built

Two things Access Alert does that every care home needs and no competitor offers.

Fire evacuation digital muster

When the alarm goes off, staff scan each resident's card at the assembly point. The fire warden sees in real time who is accounted for — no paper, no shouting names across a car park.

Room 1 — Margaret Osei — accounted for
Room 2 — James Boateng — accounted for
Room 3 — Priya Sharma — in transit
Room 4 — David Mensah — not yet scanned

Family activity feed in plain English

Families see exactly what is happening — not clinical notes, not jargon. Plain English updates that build trust and reduce family complaints to CQC.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How long does onboarding take?
Most care homes are live within one week. We handle setup, data migration, and staff training. Your team can go live after a single one-hour session.
What if a resident does not have a smartphone?
The physical ID card works completely independently of any device. First responders scan the card and access the full profile instantly — no app needed.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The SOS button, digital ID, and key carer features work without internet and sync automatically when connection is restored.
Can we migrate from our current system?
Yes. We support data migration from all major UK care home platforms with no data loss and no disruption to daily operations.
What support is available?
Phone, email, and live chat during business hours with an out-of-hours emergency line. Every care home gets a dedicated onboarding contact.

Ready to see it in action?

Access Alert was built because disabled people and the homes that support them deserved something better. We would love to show you what that looks like for your home.
