Care home staffing is broken
Operators are squeezed between agency bills, CQC scrutiny and a workforce that is leaving for better-paid sectors.
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.
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.
One platform. The whole care home.
Roster, compliance, care plans, payroll and workforce insights, wired together so the data you collect at the bedside becomes the evidence you show the inspector.
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 secure inspector link
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.

- True profit per bed: fee income vs staffing cost
- Annual fee uplifts applied in one click
