Dementia care deserves more than just good intentions – it deserves the right tools.
At Carebeans, we help carers, managers and families deliver compassionate, consistent dementia care every day – through simple, intuitive digital systems that work in real-world settings.
Whether you’re supporting someone in residential care, supported living, or in the community, having the right information at the right time makes all the difference.
If you’re visiting us during Dementia Action Week, welcome – we’re proud to support this vital campaign and share how digital care planning is improving dementia support across the UK.
Person-Centred Dementia Care
No two people experience dementia the same way. That’s why we put personalisation at the heart of our digital care planning.
With Carebeans, teams can record and access:
- Life history and personal interests
- Daily routines and communication preferences
- Behaviour triggers and calming techniques
So even if a new carer is meeting someone for the first time, they already know how to help them feel safe, seen and understood.
Safe, Accurate Medication Records
For many people living with dementia, medication is a big part of daily care – and even small errors can have serious consequences.
Carebeans includes a built-in eMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record) system that helps:
- Ensure the right medication, at the right time
- Provide real-time alerts for missed or overdue doses
- Keep everything recorded and audit-ready
It’s peace of mind for care teams, managers, and families alike.
Understanding Behavioural Needs
Mood and behaviour can change quickly in people with dementia. Carers often spot subtle signs before anyone else – but only if they’re able to track and share what they see.
Our real-time logging makes it easy to:
- Record mood, triggers and incidents on the spot
- Spot trends over time
- Share updates across shifts and staff
That means better communication, faster action, and fewer missed cues.
Empowering Dementia Carers
Caring for someone with dementia is deeply rewarding – and often exhausting. We built Carebeans to support the people doing the caring, not just the paperwork.
- Instant access to care plans, notes, and alerts
- Seamless handovers between shifts
- Less duplication and fewer admin tasks
When the system works for the carer, the care works better for everyone.
Keeping Families Connected
Dementia can be isolating – not just for the person living with it, but for their loved ones too.
With the Carebeans Family Portal, relatives can:
- Receive secure updates from the care team
- View wellbeing logs and recent photos
- Stay connected, even if they can’t visit as often as they’d like
It builds trust, reduces anxiety, and helps families stay involved.
Clinical Tools from QCS
As part of the QCS group, Carebeans users have the option to add access to the QCS Dementia Centre – a powerful suite of clinical resources designed to support high-quality dementia care.
This optional upgrade includes:
- Evidence-based guidance and best practice policies
- Cognitive assessment tools, including the PAL Instrument
- Audit frameworks and regulatory compliance support
It’s the ideal combination: the everyday simplicity of Carebeans, with the added clinical depth of QCS – available when you need it.
