A recent survey by the Carers Trust painted a troubling picture for the UK's unpaid carers, emphasising the urgent need for solutions. elate's revolutionary software is an innovative response to this call to action, promising to transform how care is managed and supported across the UK.
The survey, titled "Pushed to the Edge", revealed alarming statistics: 91% of unpaid carers feel ignored by the Government, and 84% lack confidence in the Government’s ability to improve their lives. These carers are the backbone of the country’s health and social care system, and their dissatisfaction demonstrates a profound systemic failure.
At elate, we've been moved by these findings. We've understood the massive challenge at hand, and we've decided to help address it. Our mission is to empower care providers, carers, older and vulnerable people, and their families to live with grace, joy, and dignity. In doing so, we aim to reduce some of the pressure on unpaid carers and provide a tool that makes their crucial work less burdensome.
Our digital care management system has been developed with an understanding of the issues identified in the Carers Trust survey. For instance, 51% of survey respondents revealed they had to give up on hobbies or personal interests due to their caring role. By simplifying administrative tasks and streamlining the care process, elate's software gives carers more time to dedicate to their personal life and well-being, reducing the chance of burnout.
Financial pressures are another significant concern among unpaid carers, with 49% stating they had to use their personal savings because of their caring role. elate’s platform aims to mitigate some of these challenges by providing a cost-effective solution for care management, helping carers and care providers make the most of their resources.
The Carers Trust survey further highlighted the desperate need for government support for carers. elate's response is to provide a tool that empowers care providers and individuals to manage care better, regardless of the level of government support. However, we also understand the importance of lobbying for better support for carers, and we echo the Carers Trust's call for a new UK Government Strategy for Carers.
The time for change is now. Through elate's digital care management system, we are playing our part in addressing the pressing challenges the UK care sector faces. With the right tools and support, we can help transform the lives of carers and those they care for, creating a future where everyone can live with grace, joy, and dignity.
