Skanda Vale Hospice has chosen Ameryst as its new care management system. Their teams will now hold care records, care plans, referrals and bookings for the people they support in one place, with families included as part of the record.
About Skanda Vale Hospice
Based in Carmarthenshire, Skanda Vale Hospice cares for adults living with life-limiting illness, and supports the families and friends around them. Its services include a day hospice, overnight respite care and a remote companion service, all offered completely free of charge.
Rooted in a tradition of holistic care, the hospice works to understand what matters most to each person, then works with them, their family and friends to support this.
Why they chose Ameryst
Skanda Vale Hospice came to Ameryst on the recommendation of other hospices, looking for a system that would bring all of their care records together in one place and grow with their services. What mattered most to them:
- Built by people who work in care. A system shaped by the services that use it, so it fits how the hospice already works.
- Families as part of the record. Every family member has their own record, grouped together, so the people around each patient are never lost.
- Theirs to configure. Their own team shapes the pick lists, note categories and care plan templates, with every change audited.
The inclusion of families is very important for us. Related patients – that's the reality of life, that's how we deal with people.
