Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our smart rota planning software for care homes.
CareCentre.io's intelligent role-based budgeting allows care home managers to set specific budgets for each role and track costs in real-time as the rota is built. This visibility helps identify potential overspends before they happen. Additionally, the efficient staff utilization features make it easier to fill shifts with your own team rather than relying on expensive agency staff. Care homes using our system typically report a 20-30% reduction in agency costs within the first 3 months.

The system alerts managers to any staffing gaps or skill mix deficiencies in real-time. It also monitors working time regulations, rest periods, and tracks staff qualifications and training to ensure you always have appropriately skilled team members scheduled for each shift.
Most care homes are fully set up and running with CareCentre.io within 2-4 weeks.
