6 Reasons Agencies Choose homecareOS Over Care Control
Care Control is growing with strong residential roots, voice dictation via MargoAI, and NHS GP Connect integration. homecareOS delivers these features from day one.
Cover Finder
Scores available carers out of 100 on continuity with that person (45), headroom against their contracted hours (30) and travel to the address (25), and puts the ranked list in front of the coordinator, who decides. Included as standard.
Bradford Factor Scoring
Automatic absence pattern analysis (S² × D) with RAG thresholds: green (0-99), amber (100-199), red (200+). homecareOS calculates this automatically.
