Social Care
Calculating the Fair Cost of Care
Without access to quality data, calculating the fair price for a complex care package is impossible. The use of accurate real time national information in the palm of your hand holds huge possibilities and reaps many benefits. Not only will it save you money and ease the process for the care worker, but the quality of information can improve the quality of life of the customer.Â
Enter CareCubed – our a dynamic and sustainable tool with +10 years of experience in calculating the fair cost of care for different care provider settings. Used in more than 100 organisations across the UK, the tool is available for use in both Adults and Children’s services.
Improving Your Social Care Services
With reduction in funding and increases in demand for social care services, delivering outcomes for vulnerable residents and preventing future demand is more challenging than ever before. The rising number of people needing social care and thus the rising costs of it means that there is continuous pressure on council budgets. Coupled with this is the new need to establish a sustainable care market for care providers.
We can see a greater need for improving the way we manage and calculate the fair cost of delivering care.
Through more than 10 years of research and experience, we have been looking at the future for local public services and have created a dynamic and sustainable solution that can have a real impact on these social care services.
CareCubed – The National Care Costing Model
CareCubed is a dynamic and sustainable tool with +10 years of experience in calculating the fair cost of care for different care provider settings. Used in more than 100 organisations across the UK, the tool is available for use in both Adults and Children’s services.
Built on a decade of experience with its predecessor, the Care Funding Calculator, the tool uses an evidence-based approach to give a clear baseline for care costs. It is used to bring clarity to the cost of care by both care commissioners (local authority and Clinical Commissioning Groups) as well as care providers.
We have a dedicated website for CareCubed which was launched in January 2024. Please click on the button below to access the site, find out more information and contact the CareCubed team.
