CareLoop vs Nourish

All the resident records of Nourish, plus the operational glue that runs the home.

If you need eMAR, body maps, falls register and care plans AND want compliance, training, comms and scheduling in the same platform — CareLoop is the answer.

Where Nourish is strong

Nourish is a leading care planning platform — strong on resident-side recording (notes, charts, body maps). It's well-suited to large groups with a digital-care-first strategy and the budget for a full point-of-care platform.

Three reasons groups switch from Nourish

1

Built-in compliance & training, not bolt-ons

Nourish does resident records well — but compliance and CPD usually live in separate tools. CareLoop bundles all three with shared audit logging, one bill and one onboarding.

2

Per-home, transparent pricing

From £150 per home / month — everything included. No per-seat fees, no surprise modules. Talk to a Nourish sales rep about pricing and you'll need a calculator.

3

Modern, mobile-first UI

Magic-link login on staff phones, glassmorphism dashboard for managers, bottom-tab nav for carers on the move. No app install, works offline, runs on any device.

Common questions

How does CareLoop's eMAR compare to Nourish?

Both support medication orders with PRN, scheduled times, multi-route, and the same 8 outcome codes (given/refused/withheld/out-of-stock/vomited/sleeping/hospital/other). CareLoop links each administration straight back to the resident's care notes timeline.

What about migrating from Nourish?

We import resident records, care plans, eMAR history and care notes via API or CSV export. Body-map and falls history come across with timestamps preserved. Most groups complete the cutover in a fortnight.

Do you integrate with our existing eMAR or pharmacy?

We support inbound CSV from major UK pharmacy systems and outbound exports to NHS GP Connect (private beta). Direct integrations with Boots, Lloyd's and Pharmacy2U are on the roadmap.
