Care home managers and workforce planners requiring a tool to assess resident dependency and plan safe staffing levels with evidence for compliance and audits
About CareCalc
CareCalc is a care home dependency and staffing software tool that helps care providers calculate the number of care hours required per resident each day, translate resident dependency into detailed staffing needs by shift, and identify staffing gaps to support workforce planning and reduce reliance on costly agency staff. It creates real-time, auditable evidence of staffing levels versus actual resident needs that can be presented to regulators such as the CQC during inspections or shared with local authorities and families to justify funding decisions. It visualizes trends in resident dependency over time, supports multi-home oversight via integrated dashboards, and breaks down skill-level requirements to align staff mix with care complexity. Designed to replace guesswork with person-centred data, CareCalc instantly shows total care hours needed, supports fee justification and compliance documentation, and maintains a historical record of dependency and staffing decisions.
