The author's partner manages a UK residential care home where the care-management software vendor shipped a fully integrated AI agent.
- Care paperwork is enormous: daily notes, MAR charts, risk assessments, care plans, plus per-person charts (fluids, glucose, falls, wounds); 'if it wasn't documented, it didn't happen'
- The agent is embedded in the existing system, not another standalone tool: automates admin and flags anomalies
- Star feature: a 'CQC is coming!' button that sweeps staff files, training records, maintenance, health & safety and individual records to surface missing signatures, overdue reviews and inconsistencies before an inspection by England's Care Quality Commission
- The author cautions AI isn't a wand: findings need human verification and managers stay accountable
A real case of AI reshaping admin work in a traditional sector.
