BetterCare Support: Carers
Animation-led platform supporting carers through their Carers Assessment
What is BetterCare Support: Carers?
Unbeaten, evidence-based technology
BetterCare support: Carers is a digital solution for carers assessments, designed to ensure that carers can identify and communicate their needs and continuously promote their wellbeing. BetterCare Support: Carers has been developed on the back of BetterCare Support to ensure that both the ‘carer’ and the ‘cared for’ are able to access timely support for their needs.
As Adult Social Care reforms and evolves, many local authorities expect to see a significant increase in the number of assessments and reviews. BetterCare Support: Carers is built to handle the expected uptake in people presenting to the council for an assessment and subsequent annual reviews.
