About the supplier
KareInn was founded in 2015 with a founding team who are experts in the dementia and adult social care space. Alex Kenney provided the technological expertise having developed solutions for London NHS Trusts, with Eric Kihlstrom and John Lanyon providing a combination of financial and strategic know-how via their roles as financial advisors and involvement in leading charities. John’s lived experience as a carer gave vital insight into the change that the sector needed to support the delivery of care.
"KareInn was founded with the mission to fundamentally improve the way that care is thought about and delivered. To do this, we work collaboratively with experts from all sides of the equation; people that understand the provision of care, people that understand the care industry, people that understand research, people that understand technology, data science and analytics, and many more. I am excited about working with those who share our vision.” John Lanyon, Chairman
