What Kiwi is

One system for the whole home.

Built by a former registered manager. Kiwi is care home management software for learning-disability, mental-health, nursing and residential homes. Care plans, medication, daily logs, risk, incidents, HR and invoicing in one calm place, on any phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.

Free set-up: we send you a list of what we can import for you, then load it.Every change logged, with who made it and when.Illustrations use fictional names and data.

Why homes switch

Fair by design.

No lock-in, no per-bed maths, no add-ons. Leave whenever you like, and every module is included.

Why no minimum term? Monthly plans roll month to month and you can cancel any time. Our terms of service apply, but there's no fixed term or notice period to sit out.

  • Monthly, cancel any time
  • Price on the website
  • Free set-up

Feels like an app, because it behaves like one.

Nothing to install. Big targets, chips instead of typing, and the everyday jobs quick to do: a log, a round and a handover, on the phone in their pocket.

Kiwi Care for iPhone and iPad: coming soon to the App Store

We're building a native Kiwi Care app for iPhone and iPad. It adds offline recording, for the corners of the home where the Wi-Fi drops. Until it's out, Kiwi already works on iPhone, iPad and computers, in a modern web browser, with nothing to install.

Hospital Passport: transfer summary

When someone goes into hospital, one tap prints a transfer summary from the records you already keep. Page one is always a single page: resuscitation status, allergies, who to call, why they are going and their latest observations. Then their medicines with the last dose given, the MAR chart, and what matters to them. Anything that has not been recorded is printed as not recorded, so nobody has to guess.

  • A standard black-and-white version or an illustrated easy-read one
  • Medicines, last dose given and the MAR chart, straight from the eMAR
  • Included in the price, like every module

Why Kiwi exists

Built on the floor, not in an office.

Kiwi was founded by a former registered manager with fifteen years in care homes. We know what care teams are up against, because we have been on the floor with them.

Every system those homes tried came with a catch. Long contracts, exit fees, paying per bed, paying per training course, nobody to load the data, and support that vanished once the contract was signed. Teams felt on their own, and the features they needed never turned up.

So we built the system they needed, and tested it for years in real homes. The care groups our founder previously worked for during his career became Kiwi's first customers. Now it's ready for every home.

Questions

Things managers ask.

Is Kiwi CQC compliant?

CQC does not approve or endorse any software. What inspectors want is evidence, and Kiwi produces it: audit trails on every record, versioned risk assessments, incident reviews with root cause and lessons learned, a full care record PDF in one tap, and reports for any date range as PDF or CSV.

Where does our data live?

On a UK server, in a database that belongs only to your organisation. Nobody else's data is in it. Your team can download it as spreadsheets and PDFs whenever you like, and we send you a complete handover bundle on request.

What happens after the 30 days?

If you carry on, your first month starts on day 31: £179.95 per home up to 30 beds, £229.95 over 30 beds, with no setup fee. If you cancel before then, nothing is charged. Cancel any time after that with no notice period.

Do you migrate us from our current system?

Yes. Free set-up: we send you a list of what we can import for you, then load it. Most software hands you a blank system and leaves you to type in every resident, every medication and every staff member, which is the real reason switching feels impossible. You check what we've loaded before your team starts. We agree a go-live date with you once we've seen what you'd like us to import.

Does it work for learning disability and mental health services?

Yes. Kiwi was born in the learning disability homes our founder previously ran during his career. PBS plans, ABC charts, behaviours and triggers, 1:1 logging, DoLS and capacity, PRN protocols per person and easy-read care plans are built in, not bolted on.

What do staff need?

A phone, tablet or computer with a browser. Nothing to install, nothing to update. Agency staff can be given today-only access that expires at midnight.
