Caring Care x The Access Group: Event Recap
Recently week our Directors, Mitesh and Manjinder, met with The Access Group to explore how digital tools are strengthening homecare at Caring Care. The discussion focused on practical improvements that help our teams deliver safe, efficient and person centred care across Walsall and the wider West Midlands.
Purpose of the session
- Share how we are using Access solutions to support day to day homecare
- Align priorities around safety, communication and outcomes
- Agree next steps that keep people safer and more independent at home

Key highlights
Real time communication
Care notes and updates are shared securely and instantly. This keeps visit information accurate after GP appointments or therapy reviews and reduces delays in decision making.
Digital care planning
Assessments, risks and daily tasks are set out in plain English. Everyone follows the same up to date plan which supports consistent, high quality homecare.
Medication safety
Electronic records support accurate prompts or administration where assessed. Patterns are easier to review and discuss with healthcare professionals. Learn more in Home Care Medication Management.
Smarter scheduling
Visit times align with meals, medicines and preferred routines. This supports independence and calmer days, especially in the first week after a hospital discharge.
Data security and audit
Information is managed with clear controls which supports safeguarding, supervision and CQC oversight.
Why this matters for homecare
- Consistency from a small, trusted team who all see the same plan
- Faster response when needs change, including adding short term support or overnight home care
- Clearer records that reduce errors and improve coordination with families and clinicians
- More time for people since duplication and paperwork are reduced

Next steps in the partnership
- Refine digital care plans to reflect individual goals and cultural preferences
- Expand structured reviews that use digital insights to improve outcomes
- Share learning across teams so best practice becomes standard in every visit
