Tens of thousands of UK families employ their own carers through direct payments, a personal health budget or their own money. The duties that come with it are real: a rota, a medication record, hours to pay, paperwork to keep. These pages take each one at a time, in plain words, and show how the Carelo Personal plan handles it for £30 a month. Start with the Personal plan overview.
What the council expects you to keep, and how an app that stamps every visit at your door does it for you.
Personal assistantsToday's calls, GPS check-in, notes and medication on a phone that works without signal. The same app professional carers use.
Personal health budgetsNHS continuing healthcare at home with carers you choose: the medication record and visit evidence a review asks for.
MedicationGiven, prompted, not required, refused, not given or other, recorded at the dose with a reason, visible to the family the same day.
