“The touch-friendly kiosk has been a real winner for us. Staff comment on how easily accessible information is for each resident. Care planning and routine assessments are structured enabling a systematic approach. Daily care tasks can be recorded in a user-friendly timely manner.”

“Once implemented the staff found the kiosk was user-friendly and easy to use. The staff welcomed the new initiative and were very supportive of each other. Speaking to these staff four months after implementation they would not return to the paper method.”

Muriel O’Donnell
Mill Brook Manor Nursing Home

“Having seen the system and how user-friendly it was, in particular, the kiosk, it made life so simple for all the staff. We have not had one issue of concern raised from a member of staff with regard to using the system. The backup support is excellent and always available to give advice and assistance.”

Mairead Fitzgerald
Oceanview Nursing Home

“We selected VCare after an extensive search. The system is user-friendly and support has been courteous, patient and willing to assist. The transition to become a paperless office was seamless and the software allows us to enter and access information quickly and easily – a critical function for our urgent care setting. Care Plans and Assessments were customized to suit our needs. Alerts are triggered to notify the care team when results are outside the normal thresholds. Hand over report and Transfer Letters are provided at the click of a button. VCare is a real winner with all our staff and it enables them to do what they do best…. care for the residents.”
