Care Change Alerts, for care software
See provider changes worth an account review.
Systems are reviewed when a home changes hands, opens, or changes who runs it.
A change of provider is a dated change in who runs the home, and a reason to ask what it runs on.
Software gets replaced at moments of change, a new provider, a new home, a new manager. Those moments are recorded on the CQC register the day they happen. Most vendors hear about them from a tender, when the shortlist is already drawn.
The register records all three with dates. The alert tells you which happened, in your territory, with the provider's company verified, so your team decides who to research.
Which changes matter to you
Provider change
A home under a new provider is the moment care planning, rostering and medication systems are most often reviewed. The register shows the change and its date.
New registration
A new home chooses its systems before the first resident. The register shows the registration and the provider.
Manager status
A change of registered manager is a change in who runs the home day to day. The register shows the status and the date, nothing about tools.
Rating movement
A lower published rating is often followed by an improvement plan. The register shows the rating only.

Why it may matter. A new home chooses its systems before the first resident. The register shows the registration and the provider.
Check. Whether Simba Residential Care Limited is already a customer or a competitor's, the provider's other locations, which the register lists, and the date.
Three things to check first
Is the provider a customer already
Company number on every alert, against your own records.
What else does the provider run
The register lists a provider's other locations, and the alert links to it.

Common questions
Does it show what software a home uses?
No. Nothing in the public record does, and the alert never guesses.
Can I follow one provider group?
Yes. A watchlist of company numbers is a setting, alongside the territory.
What area does it cover?
England, because the CQC register is England only. You choose the territory that matches the ground you serve.
Can I use this for sales?
Yes. Alerts name companies, never people, and use the home's address only. Your own marketing rules still apply.
When does it start?
Today. Start the fourteen-day trial, verify your address, and the first briefing is prepared for your area. Nothing is charged.
