The challenge
Carers were losing 30–40 minutes per shift on non-clinical transport tasks — meal trolleys, linen runs, supply collection — at a time when agency cover was eating margin.
Our approach
On-site survey across all three floors and the kitchen/laundry stores.
Mapped a primary delivery route with two side branches; trained the home's staff in 90 minutes.
Configured logged runs for CQC-ready evidence of mealtime delivery.
Iterated route timings over the first month based on real shift data.
Outcomes
200+ carer-hours per month redeployed to direct resident care.
Agency spend reduced by 18% within the first quarter.
Mealtime delivery times tightened — every run timestamped and logged.
Payback period: 16 months.
"Our carers got their afternoons back. Residents notice it — there's more conversation, more time at the table, more presence."
— Registered Manager, Care home operator (Yorkshire)
