Make your resident admin smarter. Your team will save time, reporting will improve and everyone’s life will be easier. Go grab a cuppa with a resident instead.
Residents come with a lot of data and it needs to be kept accurate. CoolCare’s easy to update resident records give you a quick snapshot of dependency level, financial information, personal details and much more.
CoolCare smartly automates billing adjustments, due to resident absence, based on your contract terms. That’s hours extra for your finance team each month by not having to manually edit invoices.
Let CoolCare do the hard work managing contacts in a GDPR compliant way. Store multiple contacts against each resident, keep a log of marketing consent and manage which users can access them.
CoolCare shows you each resident’s full room history so you can easily audit who was living where and when. Less detective work for your staff and more accurate invoicing with less effort for you.

No need to go to the home to find a document either. Log on to CoolCare from wherever you are and hey-presto, there the document is.
