Implementation and Support

Software is only as good as it is used. Effective implementation and user adoption is key to success. That’s why our software is so intuitive and implementation is easy, with teams on hand to help your ongoing digital journey. CoolCare is more than just software, it’s great service.

    implementation.

    Roll-out is the most important stage of the digital journey. We’d know: CoolCare has done it thousands of times.

    Time taken for roll-out depends on the approach best for the operator.  Some large groups roll-out in less than a week; some smaller operators prefer to take a couple of months to adopt all features.

    CoolCare designs a plan suited to your goals.  One thing is always consistent: learning the software is very easy.

    see what customers say:

    The installation has been very easy. We recieved all training that we required and the training was very good. We recieved our training from Macauly who told us he generally works on the support side. He was very interactive, answered all our questions, he was patient and clearly had a very good knowledge of the system. You could tell that he was invested in the Coolcare system and this had a positive impact on the training he delivered. We feel very confident moving forward and are very grateful for the time and effort he has given us.

    Care Home Manager

    Springfield Care Home Group

    Brilliant product, fantastic support! Smooth experience from start to finish! Support are so easy to get hold of and knowledgeable.

    Tina Brown

    Director, Elreg House

    The “here to help” team are extremely helpful and provide much reassurance, advice and offer explanations when difficulties do crop up. They are very responsive.

    Care Home Manager

    As the CEO of a small care home group, I’m always looking for ways to streamline our administrative processes and save valuable time. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for staff to pick up. Some key areas where Coolcare has helped us include occupancy management, rostering and payroll. Their occupancy dashboard gives a real-time view of vacancies and enquiries in progress. The scheduling tool allows managers to easily create and adjust staff rotas and Coolcare’s payroll features integrate with accounts, saving hours each month. Resident records and finance ledgers are now fully digital too, reducing errors and paperwork. Staff are happier not having to juggle paper forms. Their UK-based support is responsive to any questions. Overall we’ve found the software incredibly useful to use while streamlining our operations. I’d highly recommend Coolcare to any care home provider looking to streamline administrative processes and save valuable time.

    Kevin Humphyrs

    CEO Oakland Care

    We thought the team might be apprehensive of the move to digital. We took the time to explain to the reason we were introducing it and how it would benefit them all. By having a digital system, we’d be able to see who was letting the team down and nip it in the bud so that there was greater fairness and stability in the team. They understood that and quickly started using the electronic clocking-in. The administration and management team have found the software very easy to use.

    Chris Bainsborough

    Director Grosvenor Care

    The speed at which the team has been able to adapt to the new system is already impacting the bottom line for the better, with the rota system paying its way within weeks of implementation. I was impressed with the ‘Snap-to-Shift’ functionality that automatically adjusted early and late clock-ins to the shift patterns.

    Keith Milton

    CEO St. Martin’s Care Group

    Very prompt and always readily on hand to help

    Lindsey Rudd

    Ideal Carehomes

    The customer support team are very helpful when you call them. They seem to be patient, they make sure that any problem or issue you may have is resolved or dealt with.

    Adalbert Rugeruza

    Home Manager

    We have been using Coolcare for over a year now, and have found it a really easy system to use. We use it for Residents and Staff payroll and it has been amazing. The sales support is really helpful with online chat and any issues that we have are sorted out promptly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take to install?

    This is led by your needs and preferences for roll-out to your organisation. If we have all the required information from you, CoolCare can set up your access in a matter of hours so getting your subscription can be as quick as the same day! Our implementation team will work with you to understand how best to roll it out to your organisation – whether all homes at once, a phasing of features and/or a phasing of homes.  We then tailor the training package to your needs and make sure your team have everything they need in place to start using the software as you go live with it. 

    What does installation look like?

    Before installation, you’ll get to meet your customer success manager, training manager and a member of support to discuss your onboarding and setup. It’ll give us a chance to understand your business needs and goals. You’ll have a bespoke training agenda that aligns with your goals that will support you and your team with your Coolcare implementation, after training you still have a dedicated customer success manager to support you and to check that your post-implementation is going to plan.

    Is there support available?

    We have a dedicated support team who can be contacted via the CoolCare chat client, phone or email who are here to help you through any questions you may have whilst using the system.

    We are looking to grow our business, can CoolCare support this?

    Yes, there is a dedicated project team within CoolCare who manage customer requests for adding or removing sites, merging or splitting databases or changing their company structure.

    We’re moving to CoolCare from another software provider, can I transfer all my data across?

    We recommend uploading your core resident and staff information to CoolCare, this is quick and will save you lots of time. The training and support team will be able to assist and advise you if required. As systems all work differently, it is best to build your data to ensure the integrity of what you are working from. If needed, support can upload pay rates (for an additional cost).

    Care Home Manager:  

    “Absolutely so self explanatory and staff have taken to it really well.”
