CareFree secures new investment

Exciting news to share!

We’re very pleased to announce that CareFree has recently secured a new investment, a wealth of experience, and further unequaled home care skills to our Team.

John and Michelle Regan have become the principal investors in CareFree as of 1st September 2023, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and experience from developing their own homecare business starting on a kitchen table to a 24-branch national company, delivering over 40,000 hours of care per week, before retiring a couple of years ago.

John says: “When we first moved over to CareFree it was a game-changer for our business.

Although we were obviously concerned that moving from one system to another could be problematic, the Transfer Team at CareFree ensured it was a very smooth and professional switchover.

Their rostering system, which links to invoice and carer payments reduced our paperwork and time to process, majorly freeing up our managers and back-office staff. In addition, the development of RoadRunner not only allowed us to be more efficient with our roster but gave us key information when it came to NMW compliance and even topped-up carer payments when/if they became due!!”

Michelle says: “CareFree’s rostering and tracking/management systems were so intuitive and easy to use (compared to our old system), we only received positive feedback from our Carers and Branch Managers after the switch over.

The data gathered and information output allowed us to be confident in both HMRC and CQC compliance. The CareFree Team even tweaked the system to be even more user-friendly for our Supported Living Clients and Carers …. and I want to bring more of that to the table moving forward.

Having worked in Social Care for over 20 years, and at the coal face for 15 of those, we believe we know what homecare owners, managers, AND carers need and want from these systems, as well as securing our Client’s data, as we’ve been there ourselves. We equally look forward to discussing any input current homecare operators may also have; especially as we head towards the Digitisation of Social Care and new CQC guidelines.

CareFree has a great and effective team and we look forward to working with them and supporting them with the delivery of new and innovative products to the marketplace and look forward to discussing all these time and money-saving opportunities with each of you along the way.”

Steve Rowbottom, MD, says: “We very much welcome John and Michelle to the team, having worked with them extensively as Clients, it is refreshing to have their insight, support, and unique viewpoints on the current and future product range delivering what our Clients want and need to be most effective and efficient for their businesses.

Their investment, input, and support, will allow us to bring our tailored products to the marketplace more swiftly and we look forward to working with them as we develop CareFree to be the one-stop solution for all your business needs.”
