About the Supplier

MAS Networks Ltd T/As CareLineLive

"The inspiration for CareLineLive came from the personal experience of its founder, Josh Hough, who witnessed his family’s struggles with a lack of updates about his Grandfather’s care. Recognising the need for better communication and management systems in the home care industry, Josh and his friend Dec, now CareLineLive’s Director of Development, seized the opportunity to develop software tailored specifically for home care management. Their goal was to enhance working practices, reduce costs, and ultimately provide carers with more time to focus on delivering exceptional care to their clients.

CareLineLive was launched with a single home care agency back in 2012 as a simple electronic call monitoring system. Over the years it has evolved into an award winning fully fledged home care management system with a mission to provide the first truly all-in-home home care management software in the UK."
