The problem

Care home staffing is broken

Operators are squeezed between agency bills, CQC scrutiny and a workforce that is leaving for better-paid sectors.

£3-5bn
Annual UK agency spend

Agency spend out of control

UK care homes spend £3-5bn a year on temp staff. Margins are hidden, rates climb every quarter, and there is no visibility into where the money actually goes.

CQC evidence is chaos

Inspectors find gaps because compliance lives across spreadsheets, paper folders and three different inboxes. Operators scramble for two weeks before every visit.

30%
Annual care staff turnover

Workers get a raw deal

Hidden agency margins, no visibility on pay, no continuity for residents. Turnover hits 30% a year and residents lose the carers they trust.

The Salstead platform

One platform. The whole care home.

Roster, compliance, care plans, payroll and AI insights, wired together so the data you collect at the bedside becomes the evidence you show the inspector.

Roster & compliance

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
  • Smart matching by distance, reliability and skill mix
  • Geofenced clock-in and clock-out
  • PAYE timesheet to payslip in one flow

Care delivery

Care planning that staff actually use

  • 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
