Unique IQ suits UK home care agencies, including multi-branch networks, that need strong rostering, eMAR, payroll and invoicing in one system.
CitizenOne as an alternative to Unique IQ
CitizenOne may suit providers whose day revolves around the journal rather than home care visits: supported living, residential care, shelters and therapy teams that want records, medication, scheduling and communication together.
- Client records with journals, plans and goals, documents, calendar, attendance, contacts and a full timeline in one profile.
- Medication records with medicine cards, recurring medication and administration records next to the journal.
- Staff scheduling in the core platform, with an extended scheduling app for more complex rotas.
- Internal chat, group messages and a bulletin board, so important information stays in one place.
- Incident registration, risk assessments, protocols and procedures in the same system as daily care records.
- Data hosted in the EU with an ISO 27001 certified hosting provider, built with GDPR in mind.
