CareLoop vs Person Centred Software
Same regulator-ready depth, modern phone-first interface, transparent per-home pricing, and a rollout measured in weeks not months.
Where Person Centred Software is strong
Person Centred Software (PCS) is the incumbent — the most-deployed digital care record in UK care homes. The product is feature-rich and well-trusted, but the UI dates back over a decade and procurement cycles are long.
PCS was built before iPhones existed. CareLoop is mobile-first — magic-link login, big-tap targets, offline-tolerant, no app install on shared devices.
Mae writes a morning briefing for managers from live data, drafts care notes from voice memos, and answers questions like 'who's at falls risk today?' in plain English.
PCS rollouts run 8–12 weeks. CareLoop is live in 7 days. PCS quotes are bespoke per module. CareLoop is £150–£200 per home, all features included.
“We had PCS for six years. Carers tolerated it. With CareLoop, they actually use the system properly because it works on their phone — and the AI briefing has become how I start my day.”

Yes. PCS exports XML or CSV; we map every field including care plans, eMAR history, body-map markings, daily notes and care plan versions. Migration runs alongside your existing PCS for a parallel period so nothing is lost.
Switching digital systems is fine — CQC cares that you have one, not which. Our audit log is regulator-grade (immutable, searchable, per-org tenant-isolated) and we provide a CQC-aligned mock inspection self-assessment built in.
GP Connect (NHS) read-only is in private beta — connecting to your GP record. NHSmail outbound is supported today. Other NHS integrations are on the roadmap.
