Why Choose HMCarePlanner?
Built by people who understand UK domiciliary care. Simple pricing, powerful features, and genuine support — without the complexity or hidden costs.
What Makes Us Different
We're not the biggest, but we believe we're the best value for UK care agencies. Here's why.
Fixed Monthly Pricing
Unlike competitors who charge per care worker (costs spiral as you grow), our plans are a flat monthly fee. Add staff without worrying about rising costs.
eMAR Included as Standard
Many competitors charge extra for electronic medication records. With HMCarePlanner, eMAR is included in every plan — digital MAR charts, reminders, and audit trails at no extra cost.
CQC-Ready from Day One
Structured care plans, automated audit trails, and inspection-ready reports. Everything inspectors look for is built into the workflow — not bolted on afterwards.
True All-in-One Platform
Care plans, rostering, eMAR, GPS check-in, payroll reports, and invoicing — all in one system. No need to pay for separate modules or integrations.
Dedicated UK Support
Real people, based in the UK, who understand domiciliary care. Free setup help, training, and ongoing support included with every plan — no support tiers.
Built for Simplicity
Complex software slows teams down. HMCarePlanner is designed for care workers of all tech abilities — intuitive interface, minimal training needed, productive from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is HMCarePlanner different from OnCare, Birdie, or Log my Care?
Unlike many competitors, HMCarePlanner uses fixed monthly pricing — not per-carer fees that escalate as you grow. We also include eMAR, GPS tracking, payroll reports, and invoicing in every plan as standard, where others charge extra for these modules.
Will my costs increase as I add more care workers?
No. Our plans are based on client numbers, not care worker numbers. Add as many staff as you need within your plan tier without paying more. This makes budgeting predictable and means your software cost doesn't spiral as you recruit.
How long does it take to set up HMCarePlanner?
Most agencies are up and running within a few days. You can create your account in under 2 minutes, and our team provides free onboarding support and training to get your clients, staff, and schedules loaded quickly.
Can I migrate data from my current care software?
Yes. Our support team can help you migrate client records, staff profiles, and care plans from your existing system. We'll guide you through the process step by step to ensure nothing is lost.
Is my data secure and GDPR compliant?
Absolutely. HMCarePlanner uses enterprise-grade encryption and UK-based cloud hosting. We are fully GDPR compliant, with role-based access controls ensuring only authorised staff can view sensitive client information.
What support do you offer?
Every plan includes free UK-based support, free training for your team, and free onboarding assistance. There are no premium support tiers — every customer gets the same level of dedicated help.
