Problem
Patients discharged from hospitals or requiring respite care often lack access to safe, supportive, and affordable recovery environments, leading to increased readmission rates and prolonged recovery times. Traditional care facilities can be expensive and impersonal, while informal arrangements may lack necessary oversight and safety measures.

CareRooms offers a CQC-regulated online marketplace connecting patients with vetted hosts who provide safe and comfortable accommodation and supportive care services in a home-like setting. The platform facilitates access to short-term recovery and respite care, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional facilities. CareRooms ensures quality and safety through host vetting, property assessments, digital access logs, and 24/7 telecare support. The service aims to promote independence and well-being by providing a calm and supportive environment for recuperation.
