- CQC evidence ready
- PAYE compliant
- UK data hosting
Built for compliance with
Care runs on a dozen systems that don’t talk to each other
Rostering in one app, payroll in another, care plans on paper, compliance in a folder, agencies on the phone. Nothing joins up, so every problem is found late instead of prevented early.
Nothing talks to anything
Rostering, eMAR, care plans, HR, payroll, agency portals, family updates. Each one a separate login, none of them sharing what the others already know.
Problems surface too late
An unfilled shift, an expiring DBS, a resident whose risk has been climbing for a week. When the data is scattered, you find out after it becomes a problem, not before.
Managers become the glue
Someone re-keys the rota into payroll, copies notes into the CQC folder, chases agencies by phone. That manual stitching is fragile, costly, and invisible until it breaks.
One platform. The whole care home.
Roster, compliance, care plans, payroll and workforce, wired into a single record with intelligence on top. Because everything is connected, Salstead can spot the gap, the risk and the expiring document before they become a problem, not after.
Compliance-first roster
Every worker comes with their compliance passport. DBS, Right to Work, training, references. All verified. All current. Shifts only fill with workers whose documents are in date.
- Auto-block expired DBS or training from filling shifts
- Automatic matching by distance, reliability and skill mix
- Geofenced clock-in and clock-out
- PAYE timesheet to payslip in one flow
CQC inspections, sorted
Generate inspection-ready evidence packs in seconds. Regulation 18 and Regulation 19 evidence is built from your live data, refreshed continuously, ready before the inspector knocks.
- Auto-built evidence packs for every CQC key question
- Real-time gap dashboard so nothing creeps overdue
- Audit trail on every care note, med round and consent
- Export to PDF, or share a link that expires with an inspector
Care planning that staff actually use
Person-centred care plans, eMAR, body mapping, risk assessments. Built mobile-first because care happens at the bedside, not at a desk. Big buttons, clear language, offline-tolerant.
- eMAR with controlled drug witness and pictorial confirmation
- Body maps and risk assessments linked to care plans
- Daily notes that auto-link to care plan outcomes
- Incident reporting with auto-notification to seniors
Workforce intelligence
Predict staffing gaps a week out. Flag care risks early. Detect worker burnout before resignation. The system learns from your home, not a generic template.
- Predictive fill-rate forecasting per shift type
- Early-warning care risk indicators per resident
- Burnout and turnover signals from rota patterns
- Cost optimisation: agency vs bank vs new hire
Run the whole business, not just the rota
Salstead now closes the loop on the three things that quietly sink care businesses: getting paid, staying inspection-ready, and sponsoring overseas staff compliantly.
Resident fees & income
Bill every funder correctly (Local Authority, NHS FNC/CHC, third-party top-ups and self-funders) and see exactly who owes what.
- Automated per-payer invoicing, pro-rated to occupancy
- Aged-debt control across every funding source
- True profit per bed: fee income vs staffing cost
- Annual fee uplifts applied in one click
Always inspection-ready
Continuous evidence mapped to the CQC Single Assessment Framework. Your daily care notes, incidents and training become inspection evidence automatically.
- All quality statements tracked live across the 5 key questions
- Evidence auto-mapped from day-to-day operations
- Per-statement gap visibility, before the inspector
- Self-assessed ratings and an evidence pack on demand
Sponsor & right-to-work
Stay on the right side of the Home Office: track your sponsor licence, certificate allocation, right-to-work expiry and reporting duties in one place.
- Right-to-work checks with expiry alerts
- Certificate of Sponsorship allocation tracking
- Salary-threshold checks per SOC code
- Reporting-duty log with 10-working-day deadlines
One platform. Every part of care.
Care homes and homecare, from the rota to the resident record to the invoice. Here is everything Salstead now does, in one connected system.
Designed around the people who deliver care
Salstead is shaped by the carers, nurses and managers who use it every shift, so the rota, the eMAR and the compliance passport fit how care actually happens, not how software imagines it.
Care and support, as it actually happens
