Salstead vs Nourish
Great mobile experience. Now extend it to the whole operation.
Nourish nails the mobile care planning experience. But care home operators run a business, not just a care record. Salstead delivers the same mobile care quality plus the rota, compliance and finance backbone the operator needs to keep the doors open.

3 reasons operators move from Nourish to Salstead
Workforce is the unsolved half
Nourish documents care. Salstead documents care AND solves the rota, agency mix and PAYE that keep operators awake at night.
Stop juggling Nourish, Excel and a payroll bureau
Salstead replaces the spreadsheets you use to plug the gaps around your care record.
The same mobile UX you already love
Our team interviewed 40 carers using Nourish before designing Salstead mobile. Familiar, but faster and offline-tolerant.
