Nourish Confidence brings audits, action plans and AI-assisted care plan reviews into one place, helping care teams identify risks, prioritise improvements and track progress.
When information is spread across different systems important signals can be difficult to spot early.
Care and support plans may be sampled, audits completed in spreadsheets, actions tracked in inboxes, and incidents recorded separately. Dedicated teams provide individualised care every day, yet without an integrated view, understanding the whole picture can be more difficult.
Nourish Confidence changes that. It pulls the right information into one place, enabling teams to gain clearer visibility of emerging themes and a sharper sense of what to prioritise next. Nourish Confidence brings audits, actions, and improvement opportunities into one platform – designed for care workflows – so teams can identify risks early, act quickly, and continuously improve without adding manual burden.
Confidence works seamlessly with your care workflows, it’s integrated, not added on. You can bring Confidence into your organisation in two ways:
Reduce risk and ensure audits are conducted promptly and consistently with pre-built, adaptable templates with scheduling and assignment. It also means a continuously maintained suite of audits managed by our in-house team.
Leadership-ready views connects actions to outcomes making excellence visible and evidences improvement for regulators.
Move from reactive sampling to proactive assurance with full-population assurance across clarity, person-focus, and alignment.
Run all of the audits your organisation runs today through Nourish with the ability to create audits from scratch with the ability to add yes/no, numeric and free text answers and to define what answers should trigger actions.
One hub to plan, balance, and track audits across services. This allows governance to see where audits are happening or not and also to see which audits are most commonly finding issues.
Close the loop; no lost tasks or duplicated effort with centralised actions from audits, events, inspections.
Nourish offers a wide range of products to help care providers overcome challenges commonly faced in the sector. See what’s right for your service.
Care is always evolving. Over the past five years we have seen a notable increase in the demand for home care in the UK. The population is ageing, and people want to be able to live freely at home for longer. That is why care technology needs to evolve quickly as well. In today’s fast-paced world of home care delivery, frontline teams face mounting pressure to deliver high-quality, personalised support. Often with limited resources and fragmented tools. Traditional systems fall short, leaving carers without the context they need, struggling with poor connectivity, and relying on insecure communication methods.
This blog explores how a mobile-first, context-aware care platform can reshape the way support is delivered.
We’ll dive into how this innovative approach empowers carers, improves outcomes, and brings confidence back to every visit.
Information is key to quality care. Carers, especially those in home care, are asked to wear a millinery’s worth of hats throughout their day. On traditional platforms, carers often lack visibility into why tasks are required. This can easily lead to disjointed care, creating gaps and inconsistencies in the application of someone’s plan. Which leads to missed opportunities for better outcomes.
We work with our users to continually review and develop the functionality of our products. We are building out care tasks, interactions and assessments that link directly to care plans. Giving carers real-time context to deliver more informed and personalised support.
The new Better Care at Home app connects each interaction to a section of the care plan. Crucially, including a client timeline for context, so that every interaction is connected. The app provides instant access to critical information, including emergency packs, allergies, and assessments. Ensuring your team knows everything they need for quality home care delivery.
Of course, all the functionality in the world doesn’t matter if the app doesn’t turn on when you need it. Or, to borrow a phrase from my old football coach, ‘the best ability is availability’. He had a few ways of saying it in fairness, however this is the only one I feel comfortable repeating.
Unreliable mobile signals and clunky interfaces slow down home care delivery. Which leads to frustration for your teams when they don’t have access to the things they need to succeed. Much like a certain unnamed football coach for Castletroy Rovers’s under-12s.
The Better Care at Home app supports care wherever it happens. Whether in someone’s home or on the go. With offline access and intuitive tools that work in real-world conditions.
Offline mode ensures carers can record and access key information, even in low signal areas. Storing the recorded information on the app and uploading it as soon as a connection becomes available. Ensuring no important interactions go unrecorded. Features like appointment views, body maps, and medication tools make care delivery simpler and faster in the field.
We develop all our features with our users. Creating a continuous feedback loop throughout the development process. By co-producing our products, we can ensure that they are both fit for the role, and accessible to the user.
Communication is key. It lies at the centre of all successful systems. In home care delivery, disjointed communication between carers and managers leads to missed updates and disparate perspectives. Which in turn can lead to a reliance on unsecure tools like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
Better Care at Home enables care teams to stay connected and informed with secure in-app messaging. Keeping your communications exclusively between your team. With built-in support that is only ever a click away. As well as a Microsoft login to make accessing the platform easier for your users. Features that promote ease of access and collaboration for every interaction.
In-app messaging supports team to team and group conversations securely. Building connections across your service, regardless of where your team are at the time. This can help bridge the distance that naturally occurs in home care delivery. Our integrated guides and user-friendly interface help your team to quickly become comfortable using our app. Allowing for their care to evolve in line with our functionality, as they unlock more time with the people they support. As well as more information about the life that person leads and the care and support they desire. Improving access, auditability, and security for your whole service.
As the demand for home care continues to grow, so too must the tools we rely on to deliver it. The Better Care at Home app represents a meaningful step forward. Not just in technology, but in how we think about care itself. By working with Nourish users we understand some of the key challenges providers face. Including gaps in information, accessibility issues and fragmented communication. Our mobile-first, context-aware platform empowers carers to provide more informed, responsive, and compassionate support.
With every task linked to a care plan, offline functionality that works in the real world, and secure communication built in, Better Care at Home is more than just an app update, it’s an upgrade. A partner in delivering confident, connected care. And by co-producing with the people who use it every day, we ensure it continues to evolve alongside the needs of the sector.
When care providers look for funding they can feel like a broken record. In a sector often overlooked and rarely understood the debate to establish the value, and justify the cost of social care is well worn and, quite frankly, out of style. The NHS’s recently published Long Term Plan is an ambitious vision of community-led support. One that social care can, and indeed must, play a definitive role in. In order to do this social care providers need a dependency tool that can accurately reflect the care requirements and costs of the people they support. Especially in a health and care context where the needs of people drawing on support are growing more complex.
At Nourish Care we are working with our users to develop such a tool, which we call Nourish Transparency. We are building Transparency to accurately assess care needs at a granular, personal level and provide a detailed breakdown of the support each person using a service requires. Giving care providers the ability to tie these costs to their own rates and the information to back up their funding requests.
We spoke to Caroline Alford, Central Operations Director for The Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT), about why Nourish Transparency is required, and the benefits it will bring for care providers. We also spoke to Paul Skuse, Product Manager at Nourish and a former Registered Manager of Adults & Children’s services, with over 17 years of direct social care experience, to discuss how Transparency works in action. So care providers can move past the old dependency song and dance, and change the score for their communities.
“I have worked in care for almost 33 years at this point,” explained Caroline. “So I have plenty of firsthand experience of the challenges that we all have on being able to evidence all elements of the care we provide to our residents. Which at times is difficult and can be very time-consuming. As a result, we can find ourselves under-funded, unable to demonstrate the full extent of the care we are delivering and the resources required to sustain it.
“Resident’s needs are changing so much and the proportion of those with higher needs has grown substantially. At OSJCT we see the dependency of the residents moving into our homes is changing rapidly. They are typically arriving with higher dependency needs, such as requiring more medication or having more frailty. Which often means they need more than one carer to support them. We need to be able to demonstrate that to ensure we are being funded accordingly.
“That’s why everyone at OSJCT is so excited about Nourish Transparency! Having been involved in the building of Transparency I truly believe that this is going to be a game changer. It provides the functionality to support us to evidence the care each of our residents needs. As well as the right staffing required to meet those needs. Ultimately giving us the tools to highlight what the true cost of care is.”
Nourish Transparency was created to answer a specific challenge:
How can we design a product that:
“It all starts with a simple assessment,” explained Paul Skuse, Nourish Transparency Product Manager. “The assessor records common activities within clear, easy-to-understand groups, making often difficult conversations about care and support more intuitive. It’s quick to complete, but incredibly powerful when combined with the Nourish platform.
“Once the assessment is complete, staff continue supporting people as usual, recording as they go in Nourish. Nourish Transparency runs in the background, continuously tracking against that baseline to show how care and support activities align with, or diverge from, assessed needs. The activities in the assessment are connected to the daily timeline. Which means managers have a dynamic, objective view of whether a person’s package of care truly meets their needs or requires review.
“Nourish has always been at the forefront of using data in powerful ways, and Nourish Transparency follows that lead. Assessment data flows directly into live views of staffing requirements and a view comparing cost of care to agreed funding. Helping your team prioritise cases for review and make informed choices that put your organisation on sustainable footing.
“At its core, Nourish Transparency is a simple idea: assess people’s needs based on the care and support they actually receive every day. Then use that insight to continuously improve quality, efficiency, and outcomes to make care better for everyone. Fundamentally, showing it’s working throughout the process. Removing the reliance on ‘black box’ scoring or impersonal algorithms.”
“The point of assessment is where it all begins,” said Caroline. “Nourish Transparency gives us the tools to able to understand the whole care needs of the potential resident. So we can be confident in our ability to provide the care they need. Whilst also ensuring our operational sustainability to continuously provide care to all residents within each care setting.
“The platform enables us to more easily keep track of our residents needs as they evolve as well. So instead of doing full reviews several times throughout the year to see if the residents needs are being met, this system will allow us to review changes more easily as we are seeing the resident needs are increasing. It also helps us determine between when these changes are long lasting or when it is a short term change. Such as a recent illness or an infection.
“This continuation of care is supported by the overviews and reports Nourish Transparency builds. So that you can clearly see the average time care takes. This will really help ensure our care plans are developed based on the support needed. With Nourish Transparency we are not just cover personal care or daily living tasks. The system is very person centred, so it capture the resident’s social and emotional needs as well.
“Crucially, this level of insight into the needs of our community also gives us a clear understanding of the staffing levels we need.”
“Like many providers we often find that the care assessments we undertake, or the reassessments we request from local authorities, are rejected based on lack of evidence to show the level of care that is needed,” said Caroline. “The way Nourish Transparency is being developed it captures time taken for tasks to be carried out. This helps us clearly demonstrate the true cost of care to our Local Authority.
“For example, in our services we often struggle to really evidence the time that is taken to give reassurance to residents. Specially those who are often walking around the home with a purpose looking for someone who is no longer in their life. These events can often happen more than five times a day. To more than one resident. It is critical to our residents wellbeing for us to give them the time and assurance needed.
“Evidencing this in care plans can be difficult and time consuming based on the frequency of these events. Nourish Transparency will help us capture these and build a clear story of each residents individualised needs.
“We see that Nourish Transparency will give us the evidence we need to be able to demonstrate the outstanding care we give. Helping us justify a fair price for the care we deliver to the Local Authority.”
“Each year when annual reviews take place or following a reassessment we often get asked by residents, family members etc. for a breakdown of what their fees covers. Nourish Transparency will help with both of these scenario’s as we will have clear timelines on their care needs. As well as the support we provide on a daily basis.”
“A tool like Nourish Transparency means that we can get more help to truly identify individual needs and preferences,” explained Caroline. “So we can build a package specifically for them. This builds on everyone’s desire to treat everyone who uses our service as an individual, and move us away from the reductive ‘dependency scores’ of the past.”
There is a well-known African proverb that frequently comes up in conversations about health and social care. ‘If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together’. Its applicability rings true in a myriad of contexts, echoing a common lesson. Coproduction is key to quality. At Nourish we apply this maxim to every aspect of our development cycle. Drawing upon our users, like IBC Healthcare, and their communities to design software that is efficient, effective and always puts the person being supported first. On our tenth anniversary this focus is expanding beyond our initial application. A direct result of our perception of social care technology being expanded through our relationships with Nourish users. These relationships inform our new products, and shape their development through our Early Adopters Programme.
We sat down with Anna Goscombe, Director of Quality & Therapeutic Services at IBC Healthcare, to discuss our exciting new Incident and Accident management software, Nourish Safety. As well as the vital role her service plays in its development.
“We knew it would be good for both parties. We’ve worked quite closely with you over the past few months as part of the Early Adopters Programme. We felt the time was right to engage with Nourish Safety because we were in a position where our current platform for that type of software solution was not fit for purpose for us. There were no plans for that particular supplier to develop their platform into what we needed. So we reached out to Nourish, as we were already using Better Care, to have an open conversation about what we needed for incident and accident management.
“What was really impressive is that you responded by showing us your roadmap. We committed to working with you because we feel confident with Nourish. You always deliver on what you say you will do.
“At IBC Healthcare we’re about homes, not hospitals. That goes for both our supported living and residential services. We love empowering people to be as independent as they possibly can be. While managing risks effectively. Which requires highly customisable and personalisable functionality to match our approach. We wanted a software that could support that commitment.
“We support some extremely complex people, with an average of three to one ratio staffing at times. For us, understanding the complexity of a person’s needs is not just about the initial transition into their new home with us. But rather asking, ‘how do we create sustainability and longevity for the people utilising our service?’
“In action, because of the high acuity and high complexity of the people we support, we need to make sure that we’re recording a high level of detail. We need to capture every aspect of someone’s experience. Particularly in behaviour incidents which are common for us. In addition, these details need to be on a system that provides a user-friendly platform for our staff teams. And has a functionality within that that allows us to review and manage said incidents. Because often some of those aspects are separate.”
“We feel like we work in partnership with you, as a provider to a provider. That collaborative working is so good, I think the process really works. I don’t think everyone does that, you know? And it’s not just ‘doing it to say you did it’. Nourish facilitated our collaboration really well. So, it’s enabled us, we engage in it in the best way that we possibly can. It’s been really successful and continues to be as the rollout comes. We really feel like we’re in a partnership.”
“First of all, naturally, Nourish would ask us as a provider about our challenges, what gaps we have, what we are looking to fill. We felt that there was a genuine interest in our service and community. An understanding of what those gaps were and a desire to help us address them.
“Additionally, some colleagues and I were invited up to your offices to spend time with your team. Which was a nice opportunity to meet people in person and get to know one another. It’s clear everyone involved wanted to understand how we could build the best solution together. Firstly, for the people we support, but also the best system for staff to use. It never felt like a tick box exercise. It’s way beyond that where everyone involved wants to genuinely create something good that’s going to work for everyone it impacts.
“In my experience that’s such a unique approach. Working alongside a supplier to address the root of the challenges we face and understand them. There were so many questions and dialogue during that day and it was so useful.
“We’ve attended a couple of separate follow up get togethers as part of that programme since. Getting to see the work that’s been done, and how our input is actioned. It shows that we weren’t just there for a discussion. You can clearly see our influence throughout the development. That is a true partnership in action.
“We felt listened to. We’re the people that are delivering it on the ground floor. We’re saying this is what is needed. To be involved like this is also reassuring, we’re not just waiting for nothing. We are 100% reassured that, ‘yeah, let’s stick with Nourish because they’re definitely going to deliver.”
“One of the main benefits is we’ve essentially already been planning the rollout in our organisation. Which means we’ve had time to discuss how it’s going to look and what we need to do to make sure it is effective.
“Normally it can take 3-6 months to embed a new system effectively. Whereas with Nourish’s incident and accident management functionality, we’ve been involved in the development along the way. We’ve tested parts and fed back any little changes we wanted made. Although we didn’t have much feedback recently, the last test was pretty spot on!
“Something that quickly becomes clear working with Nourish is the fact that you know providers are trying to drive that person centred approach. From a product perspective it ties in with us using the care planning on Nourish. Which is already person centred, and it’s got positives for so many reasons. But when you’ve then got the detailed incident management on there as well and event management, it all just flows. The workflow is just so much better because you’re using the same platform. You can go on someone’s timeline and see everything you need. It means that we’ve got less chance of missing things, or you can order it in a different way. Which makes understanding incidents and accidents so much easier.
“We feel we’ve had a pivotal role in helping shape behavioural workflows on the platform. As a provider offering complex care we had a definite requirement for an event form that was going to capture enough detail. It was a 100% must for us. Which gets back to working in a partnership with Nourish. We invested so much in this process so we can get the most out of it. And I know if you asked my colleague, he would firmly say and believe that, ‘Nourish have now got one of the best, if not the best product, on the market.’
“We take pride in being a part of that. At the end of last year we were looking for systems we could implement to solve these problems for us. We just couldn’t find one fit for purpose. A product that allows the detail to be inputted in a user-friendly way and at the same time gives you the opportunity to get the output from it. Take the dashboard for example, that’s going to give us the live data that we need. Data that’s going to be accurate. We weren’t able to get that before. There just wasn’t anything else that really ticked all the boxes for us, now we’ve helped build one!”
“Our primary goal coming into this process was to provide a user-friendly platform for our staff teams. To have a functionality within that which allows us at IBC Healthcare to review and manage incidents and accidents. Because often some of those aspects are separate.
“The best bit is the fact that we can then review and manage that information effectively. The product has the ability to attach an investigation to an incident at the debrief. Which is one of the most important things because at the moment we still use paper for that. So that then becomes paperless and automatically attached to an incident. That’s one of the biggest things for us.
“What Nourish has achieved is a genuinely user-friendly platform. It doesn’t ask for unnecessary text. You can use placeholders for managers so you can focus on what you need to in the moment. It’s everything you need in one place, and it’s easy to action, that’s what we need. It’s super user friendly and there are benefits felt at every level of the organisation.”
“For our Support Workers it’s going to be a lot easier for them to understand what is expected of them when filling an incident in. Which reduces the amount of training that we need, especially when it’s repeated training. Previously, we regularly conducted repeat training to try and coach people through how to effectively write an incident. The new functionality is going to really improve that. Which directly impacts the quality of our responses to incidents and the support we provide going forward.”
“With good incident management you can also provide the right staff support. Debrief for us is something that we wanted to improve on. Because when you’re working with such complex high acuity people naturally it’s emotionally demanding for staff. Managing incidents effectively is important to avoid staff burnout. Which then positively impacts the care and support they deliver. Nourish allows us to ensure that debriefs are completed in a timely fashion. They’re attached to the incident and that we can go and find them easily. Rather than searching through folders and asking everyone if they’ve seen a form, it just gets done. I think that feature in particular, having a debrief attached to the incident, is going to make a huge difference.
“I mentioned it briefly previously, the ability to use placeholders. When you record an incident in the moment your team member might not have time to put all the detail in. With Nourish you can use a what is effectively a placeholder and continue filling in the important details later. Crucially, you still have the notification so you can see that something has happened and respond to it. That feature is quite nifty for our managers especially.”
“In short? This system means they could potentially get any attention or response that they need. And get it quickly. Especially if it’s an emergency response or we need to send somebody out within the organisation. If someone’s not got time to write all the detail, they could still flag the incident. We’ll give them a call to make sure everything’s OK, which in turn benefits the person we support.
“We’ve got processes in place internally whereby we review and analyse incidents. I think to be able to do that quicker is beneficial and with Nourish we will be able to do it quicker. In part thanks to that placeholder functionality as well.
“Sometimes in the past we weren’t being notified of incidents until two or three days down the line because they weren’t being completed. Obviously, that’s not going to happen anymore.”
“It’s a game changer. The reporting functionality on our current platform isn’t brilliant. Additionally, for a whole host of reasons, the incident detail wasn’t good enough. Or sometimes it was delayed because information was siloed on different platforms. This all meant you couldn’t rely completely on the accuracy of the data. Or you couldn’t respond quick enough. So again, for all those reasons Nourish improves the quality of service that we’re providing to the person we support because we’ve got a better handle and a better management of incidents. We can better map the trends.
“What I mean when I say map trends, is that we can really understand the full picture. For example, ‘what might be the triggers here for this person?’ or ‘is it specifically happening in the home, is it specifically in the community where most incidents are occurring?’
“With the dashboard and Nourish you’re going to have that information quite quickly. For example, you can see how many restrictive physical interventions there have been. You can check important factors like if any restraints were used. We can then review previous data and see there were three restraints this month. But there was none for the last two months. Clearly something’s happened.
“It is crucial we can notice those things and be able to record triggers like that when providing LD and mental health services. It’s important to do it, but also important to do it in a in a timely manner. Local authorities, placing authorities, commissioners, they all expect it. They expect us to analyse that sort of data, but also to foresee any potential risk or escalation in incidents. More than that, we expect it of ourselves.
“Understanding incidents, whether they are basic or complicated, can potentially prevent a hospital readmission, or discharge to another service or staff burnout.
“Ultimately, it’s about providing personalised, centralised support for people so they can live the lives they want. It starts with safety, and that’s why we’re so excited to be building this product with Nourish.”

Evidence the true cost of care
Compare assessed need with the reality of care delivery to align staffing, funding and true care costs using Nourish Transparency.
By the time organisations understand how care has changed, the financial and operational consequences have already begun.
Nourish Transparency changes that.
Care today is being planned, funded and governed through systems that assume stability in a world where care is anything but stable. Needs change continuously, sometimes quickly, sometimes gradually. Risk accumulates quietly. Yet the mechanisms used to translate need into staffing, funding and assurance remain largely static. As a result, social care is being run on delayed visibility and the cost of this is no longer sustainable.
Nourish Transparency continuously compares assessed need with the reality of care delivery.
Because assessment and delivery are built on the same care model, Nourish Transparency can identify where care demand has changed, what those changes mean operationally, and how they affect staffing, funding and governance.
On the Nourish platform, needs assessment and care delivery are connected through the same care and support records. We call these building blocks interactions, the individual notes, tasks and observations logged as care happens. The activities used to describe a person’s needs are also used to plan and record the care provided, creating a clear line of sight from assessed need to delivered care. This enables organisations to continuously review whether support remains aligned with reality as circumstances change.
Nourish Transparency makes change visible without imposing surveillance or unsustainable administrative burden. Through approaches such as dynamic sampling, it surfaces trend, drift and escalation early enough to support timely, proportionate action.
Dynamic Sampling continuously monitors care delivery to identify where meaningful change is occurring. Rather than repeatedly reassessing every person, it intelligently focuses attention where care demand is evolving, providing earlier insight while minimising administrative burden.
Transparency does not measure individual performance or enforce task-by-task scrutiny. It focuses on aggregate patterns of care demand, the result is a system that supports fairness rather than policing.
Transparency changes the quality of insight available. Instead of relying on anecdote or intuition to explain why services feel stretched, leaders can point to evidence of how care demand has shifted – in timing, intensity or complexity – and what that implies for staffing and routines.
Transparency provides something that has historically been elusive: an evidence narrative that links need to delivery and delivery to cost.
