About Nourish
The focus of Nourish is people
We seek to enhance and simplify care in equal measures. We set out to harness the power of care management software to improve the lives of people who need care and those who provide it.
Nourish is the culmination of years of collaboration with care providers, commissioning groups and families. We’ve researched every aspect of care, from working with people receiving care, people providing care, care commissioners, directors of social services, and directors of public health.
Nourish enables carers to plan, record, report and co-ordinate care, all focused on the person. At a time of growing demand for care, Nourish is using technology and design to empower carers to do what they do best: help people they care for enjoy the best quality of life possible.
People who need support in their daily lives. People who lend a helping hand. People who plan and prioritise care services. And, the people who simply want to know that their loved ones have the best care possible.
Nuno began volunteering in a care home and very quickly realised that this environment was his calling. The idea of Nourish came from observing care, back before person-centred care was the focus, and how the person receiving care seemed to be overlooked when it came to the care they received.
The idea of Nourish came from observing care, back before person-centred care was the focus, and how the person receiving care seemed to be overlooked when it came to the care they received. With wearable technology all the rage at the same time, Nuno began to wonder if there was some way to have notifications coming out of this software that tell their care workers or their family members that are looking after them that this is what you should be doing next to improve their wellbeing. This also coincided with the realisation that care workers were writing an incredible amount of notes in regards to the care they were providing and managers were constantly sifting through the paperwork of notes in order to remain on top of it all in case CQC came for an inspection.
The idea shifted from wearable technology to simply technology that can record all the interactions taken place with the person receiving care to enable the data to be analysed and create an indication on what the next steps could be. Technology that could change the way people being supported are cared for, enabling care teams to have more time for person-centred care and enhancing evidencing for great care being delivered for families and commissioners. But most importantly, technology that the people being supported could get involved in and be in control of their care.
As Nourish began to take shape and become a useful product, it needed a logo.
There is deliberate linkage between the Nourish Care logo and our mission. It’s a representation of a circle of care where you have 5 petals representing groups of people who matter…
✅ people from social care
✅ people from healthcare
✅ my community, my neighbours
✅ my family
✅ my friends
The very concept explores how a person living with frailty, where they aren’t able to live completely independently, needs a village to make sure they have a completely balanced life and live the best life they can.
This is how Nourish began.
