Canary Care gives Local Authority teams real-time, 24/7 insight, helping tackle assessment blind spots, reduce discharge risks and monitor reablement progress with confident, evidence‑based decisions.
Monitoring activity
Our technology-enabled care helps your care services do more with less – around-the-clock visibility without over-stretching resource.
Our sensor insights
Our non-intrusive technology-enabled care solution is an alternative to telecare and wearable devices. Our sensors will give you all the benefits and actionable insight, without the cameras or microphones – because preserving privacy at every step is our priority.
Monitor general activity around the home to get a picture of daily routines and habits – perfect for assessing mobility and knowing when something doesn’t look quite right.
Understand someone’s sleeping schedule, and set-up custom alerts if movement is detected, or light levels spike, during certain hours.
Determine if a shower or bath can be used independently with humidity sensors, or set up time-based notifications for when you’re concerned a visit is taking longer than it should.
Place sensors on doors around the house to monitor room usage – or on front and back doors so care providers can see if somebody leaves the house unexpectedly, in real time.
Keep track of when medicine is being taken by placing vibration sensors on medicine drawers or cabinets – with alerts sent to the Canary Care Portal every time they’re opened and closed.
Place humidity sensors around the home to check warmth and determine if the conditions are conducive to mould growth, making it easier for early intervention.

Canary Care supports Local Authorities across the most critical adult social care pathways. Our technology‑enabled care delivers clear, evidence‑led benefits by building a full picture of daily routines without repeated visits, helping teams complete assessments faster and with greater confidence.
Local Authority pathways
Gain a clearer picture of how someone is managing at home during the typical 4-week assessment period. Instead of relying on snapshots during visits, Canary Care provides continuous activity insight that helps teams right-size care packages with confidence.
Benefits
Support safer hospital discharge with real-time visibility into how someone is coping from the moment they return home. Canary Care helps teams spot early warning signs – such as increased night-time activity, reduced mobility or unusual routines – enabling faster intervention and preventing avoidable readmissions.
Benefits
Track progress during reablement with real-world evidence of improving independence. Canary Care shows how routines evolve over the full 6-week reablement period, helping teams make confident decisions about when to step down or extend support, and exactly what support is needed.
Benefits
Real impact
Adopting social care technology provides the real-world insight needed to deliver safer, faster and more efficient support. By understanding how people are coping at home, services can improve outcomes across assessment, reablement and discharge pathways.
Complete assessment windows faster with fewer visits, supported by clear, objective evidence of daily living. Real-time insight helps teams prioritise visits based on genuine need, reducing unnecessary check-ins while maintaining oversight, and making sure individuals are on the right care plan much faster.
Local Authorities are under growing pressure to deliver high-quality care while managing rising demand and limited resources. Canary Care helps services deliver measurable improvements across adult social care, without having to stretch care workers even further.
Objective data helps teams right-size care plans, ensuring people receive the support they truly need – avoiding both over-provision and under-support. Time-stamped activity data strengthens professional judgement and helps teams justify decisions with clear, time-stamped evidence.
Early behavioural signals and changes in daily routines help identify risks sooner, enabling intervention before issues escalate into emergency care or hospital visits. Plus, when someone does need a hospital visit , continuous monitoring helps discharge teams understand whether recovery is progressing safely at home, reducing failed discharges and avoidable readmissions.
The average cost for home care in the UK is around £20 per hour* – but with our technology-enabled care, you can have peace of mind, cut costs and improve outcomes 24/7. There’s no comparison.

Long-term plan
Local Authorities are under significant pressure to deliver the UK government’s 10-Year Health Plan, shifting healthcare from a hospital-centric model to a “neighbourhood health service”. Technology-enabled care solutions, such as Canary Care, can help teams with these “Fit for the Future” ambitions by strengthening coordination across social care and public health while enabling proactive, community‑based care.

Local Authorities
If you’ve got any questions about how Canary Care can work for you, we’re here to help. Check out our common questions, and head to our support page for information on kit installation, and ongoing Canary Care Portal use.
Our technology lets you be there in time to help. Rather than reactively caring for someone and admitting them to hospital after a problem presents itself, our sensors make it easier to spot changes in routine quicker, allowing for earlier detection and intervention.
Small changes in activity – like a disrupted night’s sleep, reduced movement or irregular medicine intake – may not seem like a lot. But they’re often signs that something isn’t quite right.
With around the clock visibility, these signals can be spotted earlier – so you can act sooner, reduce risk and provide the right level of support at the right time, before the underlying issues become serious.
Yes, Local Authorities can utilise Canary Care to help stretch limited resources, because the insights gained from the sensors allow care providers to right-size care, and help support clients even when they’re not physically present.
It’s impossible to care for someone in person for 24 hours a day, but our sensors fill the gaps between scheduled visits with continuous, objective evidence.
When caring for any individual, getting the balance right between ongoing support and enabling independence is vital. Canary Care sensors provide practical evidence to support this reablement decision, with around-the-clock activity data available to help right-size care needs quicker.
