DepenSys

Leading dependency and staffing tool for care homes 

DepenSys Laptop Mock Up

DepenSys is an innovative web-based dependency system backed by more than 35 years of research that enables care providers to:

  • Quickly and accurately identify the specific needs of each resident. 

  • Convert these needs into the necessary time and skills required to meet them. 

  • Compare the suggested staffing levels with the actual levels.   
The system also demonstrates how the service is staffed in compliance with the Care Quality Commission in England, the Care Inspectorate in Scotland, the Care Inspectorate Wales, and other regulatory bodies requirements.
