COVER STORY
Making Care Management More Manageable
We hear the story of home care manager Dania, who explains how care management technology from Zuri has enabled her care organisation to cope with the rise of dementia
and Alzheimer’s amongst the elderly population.
Zuri provides a comprehensive, easy to use digital end-to- end care management solution for care homes, home care agencies, day centres, and outreach services in the UK.
Since its launch, Zuri has helped to improve the daily working lives of many care professionals, including that of home care manager Dania, who started using the care management platform in 2017.
Zuri has enabled Dania to have a real-time view of what is happening within her care agency at all times. The soſtware provides full visibility of the entire organisation, in a flexible, auditable, compliant and reliable soſtware package- proving an essential tool for Dania, her directors and administrators.
Zuri’s solutions are innovative and use the latest cutting-edge technology to offer a suite of solution packages, tailored to meet Dania’s care planning, rostering, finance, timesheets, eMAR and HR admin requirements. Dania felt that, by offering comprehensive outcome-based care planning platforms, Zuri has taken caring to the next level, helping with her inspection reports.
Dania explained that Zuri brought together all the vital features that nurses, carers and support workers need into one centralised, digital location; meaning they could do their job much more efficiently, spending less time documenting and more time caring for their clients. This, in turn, allowed managers to securely manage client information better and monitor care delivery remotely.

With an estimated 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia, and this figure set to double over the next 30 years, Dania was concerned that she would not have the resources within a soſtware platform to meet this client group’s ever-growing needs. Zuri focusses on the importance of communication and the relationships with others to the person living with dementia, in order for them to achieve their full potential by promoting independence and wellbeing. Based on this, Dania felt that Zuri would allow people to remain living in their own homes for longer, or care homes of their choice, in a safe and nurturing environment.
Designed by nurses for nurses and carers, using their knowledge, skills and experience in the dementia care sector, Zuri has revolutionised the way care managers, like Dania, can operate their care business. By using a system which has human value and
the individuality of people requiring care at its heart, Dania feels confident that she will now always have the information she needs at her and her staff’s fingertips, in real-time,
wherever they are. Zuri’s templated care plans and assessments are specifically designed to meet the needs of Dania’s clients,
and are available to personalise and tailor to each individual client’s needs, depending on their condition. This has given Dania the additional time to plan and monitor care, rather than having to write all her own care plans herself.
As the healthcare industry has moved from analogue to digital, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) is a convenient tool with several applications, from smart sensors and remote monitoring of movement and gait to medical device integration that monitors vital statistics such as heart rate,
