careplaces are neighbourhood care systems. careplaces.ai is information about them.
We designed careplaces.ai for people who commission, provide and invest in care. Early applications show that it improves decisions with accurate, complete, current, local information on a simple, searchable map. All you need to use it is a Web browser and an Internet connection.
Behind the scenes, careplaces.ai is an atlas of health and care. It updates and grows continuously as it learns about people who need care and the local support systems around them.
careplaces.ai has applications for
- commissioners in local authorities and the NHS
- providers of care, charities and investors
Commissioner Careplaces
Commissioner careplaces helps health and social care commissioners understand neighbourhoods. Our maps cover formal and unpaid care, and will soon include detailed data about community assets and local voluntary services.
Combined in a single platform, commissioners can use this information to plan cost-effective, inclusive care and support systems that work better for everyone.
What drives need, demand, quality, cost and capacity in your area?Commissioner careplaces shows current factors that drive need and demand. Our data go deeper than standard deprivation indices, uncovering need at the grass roots. They stay up to date, reporting the latest determinants of need, like acute health episodes, fuel poverty and growing unpaid care. This helps commissioners plan for prevention and early intervention.
Commissioner careplaces has current data for LSOAs, MSOAs and Wards about
- crime
- demography and socioeconomic classifications
- detailed breakdowns of multiple deprivation
- disease prevalence and health incidents
- hours of unpaid care
- housing and tenure types
- past, current and forecast population
- poverty-risk indicators
- regulated services, including CQC-registered primary and social care
- welfare benefits for unemployment, low income, illness, disability and unpaid care
careplaces can safely and automatically anonymise local authority Client-level Data (CLD), aggregate them into LSOAs, MSOAs and Wards, and compare them with factors that drive demand and cost, sufficiency and quality of care.

Provider Careplaces
Provider Careplaces helps investors, charities and care providers find new markets. It works on similar principles to Commissioner Careplaces, with extra insight into factors that affect delivery and financial sustainability of care services.
Provider Careplaces uses these factors to find opportunities to invest in new services and helps you plan to make them successful.
Why careplaces.ai?
Internet search engines and many proprietary care search tools find only a fraction of the factors that make care systems work. Their results are incomplete because much of the information needed to understand care markets is not published on the Internet. The information that is available is scattered, inconsistent, out of date and sometimes provided by organisations with a vested interest in sharing it.
Dated, partial, fragmented information makes for expensive care and poor outcomes for people who need it.
careplaces.ai is a single repository of information about help to live with disability and illness in every neighbourhood. It is designed to make local care and support work better for everyone.
