Care Planning Software Built for Person-Centred Home Care
Create, review and share digital care plans across 20 care areas — with full version history, review reminders and one-tap carer read-and-sign so your team always works from the latest plan.
Replace paper care plans with living digital records
Paper care plans go out of date the moment they are printed. Carionex keeps every client's care plan in one living digital record that updates in real time, is versioned automatically, and is available to the right carer on their phone at the point of care.
Care plans are structured across 20 person-centred care areas — from personal care and mobility to nutrition, communication, mental wellbeing and end-of-life wishes — so nothing important is missed and your records stand up to CQC scrutiny.
The problems this solves
- Out-of-date paper care plans that carers can't access on the road
- No audit trail of who changed what, or when it was last reviewed
- Missed reviews and no proof carers have read the current plan
- Care plans that read like tick-boxes instead of the person

How it works in Carionex
Structured, person-centred plans
Each of the 20 care areas captures the need, the goal, how staff should support the person, and the desired outcome — turning a flat document into a genuine plan of care.
- Need, goal, support and outcome per area
- 'Important to me' and 'Important for me' sections
- Cultural, religious and end-of-life preferences
Version control and sign-off
Plans are immutable once versioned. Any change bumps the document version and prompts carers to re-read and sign, so everyone works from the latest instructions.
- Immutable version snapshots
- Document-level read-and-sign
- See what changed since a carer last signed
Review scheduling
Set review dates per category and track everything due, due soon or overdue from the agency-wide Care Reviews dashboard.
Linked risk assessments
Care plans sit alongside 16-category risk assessments so support and mitigation are always joined up.

Frequently asked questions
What is care planning software?+
Care planning software replaces paper care plans with a digital record that can be built, reviewed, versioned and shared with carers on their phones. Carionex structures each plan across 20 person-centred care areas and keeps a full history of every change.
Is Carionex care planning CQC-compliant?+
Carionex is designed around CQC expectations for person-centred, up-to-date and auditable records. Care plans are versioned, reviewable and exportable as inspection-ready PDF packs, and carers sign to confirm they've read the current version.
Can carers see care plans offline?+
Yes. The native carer app caches the current care plan so it's available during a visit even without a signal, then syncs any updates automatically when back online.
How does care plan version control work?+
Every edit creates an immutable snapshot with the author and timestamp and bumps the document version. Carers are prompted to re-read and sign the new version, and you can see exactly what changed since they last signed.
Does it support person-centred care planning?+
Yes. Plans include 'Important to me', 'Important for me', cultural and religious preferences and end-of-life wishes alongside clinical needs, so the plan reflects the person, not just tasks.
Can I set review dates for care plans?+
Yes. You can set review dates per care category, and everything due, due soon or overdue appears in the agency-wide Care Reviews dashboard.
How do carers confirm they've read a care plan?+
With one-tap read-and-sign on the app. Managers can see who has signed the current version and who is outstanding.
Can I export a care plan for a CQC inspection?+
Yes. You can export a complete CQC care-record pack for any client — including the care plan, risk assessments, alerts and acknowledgements — as a single PDF.
