    Am I using Care Control to its full potential?

    If you’re using Care Control for care planning, medication or daily logs — you’re already making a huge difference to how care is delivered in your service. But with so many features available, it’s completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed. Maybe you’ve only just found your rhythm with care planning. Maybe you’ve seen tools like Rota or HR in the menu… but haven’t had time to dive in. Maybe your team has grown, and you’ve now got dedicated people for HR or admin.

    Wherever you’re at, you’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be. And we promise: once you start exploring more of what Care Control can do, it’s often easier and more powerful than you imagined.

    ⏩ It’s a lot — and that’s normal

    Most of our customers start small. They get comfortable with one part of the system — and then unlock more over time.

    There’s no pressure to do it all at once. Care Control is designed to grow with your service. But when you’re ready to go further, all the tools are there — and they’re already included in your system.

    🧭 If you’re not sure what something does, or how it works, our Learning Hub and Customer Hub are full of step-by-step guides and video demos to help you explore in your own time.

    📈 Growing your team? Explore the HR and Admin tools

    If your care service has expanded and you’ve now got a dedicated HR lead or admin team, it’s the perfect time to unlock the full potential of the HR and Admin apps in Care Control.

    Here’s just some of what you can manage:

    • Staff personal details and contract information

    • Supervisions, appraisals, absence and document uploads

    • Roles and responsibilities for each staff member

    • Mandatory training and upcoming course tracking

    • Adding new training topics and keeping scores up to date

    Everything is stored securely — and it’s all in one place.

    You can also tailor access, so each team member only sees what’s relevant to them. That means better oversight, fewer missed deadlines, and a smoother experience for everyone involved.

    🖥️ Using different systems for different jobs? You’re not alone

    You might be using a different system for your rota or HR — often because of a long-standing contract, or one that feels like it never quite comes up for renewal. Don’t worry. Care Control isn’t going anywhere, and when the time’s right, we’re ready to support you in making the switch.

    We’re genuinely excited for you to experience what it’s like to have everything in one place — care planning, rota, HR and more, all working together. And because these tools are already part of your Care Control system, there’s no extra charge to start using them.

    Here’s what the switch could look like:

    • Talk to our team to plan your timeline

    • We’ll guide you through what to consider when making the move

    • You’ll have the chance to test things before going fully live

    The bonus? You’ll save money, reduce duplication — and your team only needs to learn one system, not three.

    ✅ So what is next?

    If this has sparked some ideas about features you’ve yet to explore, now’s a great time to take a look. Log into Care Control and browse the apps you haven’t used yet. The Learning Hub is always there if you want a quick walkthrough or need a bit of guidance. And if you’d rather chat things through, our support team is just a call away. However you choose to move forward, we’re here to help you make the most of your system at your pace.
