Care Home Implementation Guide

Everything in order.
Before it's ever needed.

A practical guide to implementing Memoari across your care home — from resident move-in to estate handover. For registered managers, owners, and care group operators.

For Care Home Operators England & Wales Memoari 2026

The clock starts the moment someone passes.

When a resident dies, their family has six months to apply for probate. Before any of that can happen, someone has to find the will, locate the insurance policies, identify the bank accounts, and track down digital access — all while grieving.

In most care homes, this work falls partly on your staff. Fielding calls from distressed families. Searching through filing cabinets. Answering questions nobody prepared for. It is administrative work your team was never trained to do — and it compounds at exactly the wrong moment.

Memoari exists to make sure that information is already there before it is ever needed.

What Memoari is — and what it isn't.

Memoari is a digital estate vault. Every resident gets a private, encrypted space to store their will location, insurance policies, bank accounts, digital access, and personal messages — organised through a guided process that families complete at their own pace.

It is not a legal service. It does not provide legal advice. It provides the infrastructure that makes everything findable when it matters most.

White-labelled to your home
Residents and families see your care home's brand throughout. Memoari is the engine — the experience is entirely yours. This builds trust and deepens the relationship between your home and the families you serve.

Three areas. One platform.

Once your home is live, residents, families, and staff each have a dedicated area. All are web-based — no app download required.

🏠
Resident Vault Dashboard
memoari.co.uk/dashboard

Where residents and their families manage everything. Accessed via invitation email or by signing in directly. Shows vault completeness and all stored items.

  • Vault completeness progress bar with step-by-step status pills
  • Sections for Documents, Digital Assets, Financial Records, Messages, and Contacts
  • Will location — records where the will is stored and who holds the original
  • Quick-action buttons for the most common tasks
⚖️
Will Location Record
memoari.co.uk/dashboard

Residents record where their will is held and who the named executor is. This ensures families can locate the original without searching — no will creation required.

  • Solicitor or storage location recorded and encrypted
  • Named executor linked with contact details
  • Original holder confirmed — no ambiguity for the family
  • Accessible to executor only after vault unlock
🏥
Staff Portal
memoari.co.uk/partner/dashboard

Where your registered manager and authorised staff monitor estate preparation across all enrolled residents. Staff see readiness status only — never vault contents.

  • All enrolled residents listed with colour-coded vault readiness
  • Expand any resident to see detail, consent status, and last check-in
  • Invite new residents directly from the portal — email sent automatically
  • Admin role: manage staff, set access levels, view full audit log
  • Viewer role: read-only access to resident readiness status
  • Immutable audit log of all staff actions — CQC ready

Four steps. Built into what you already do.

Memoari is designed to slot into your existing admission process — not add a new layer on top of it. Onboarding happens naturally, at move-in, and the rest runs itself.

1
Resident Move-In

A Memoari vault is created alongside your standard admission paperwork. Your staff log into the Staff Portal, create the resident profile, and invite the designated family contact by email. No technical knowledge required. The whole process takes under five minutes.

2
Family Completes the Vault

The family receives an invitation to the Resident Vault Dashboard. They complete the guided checklist at their own pace — will location, insurance, bank accounts, digital access, and personal messages. Each item is explained clearly. No legal knowledge required.

3
Staff Monitor via the Portal

Your registered manager sees preparation status across all residents at a glance in the Staff Portal. Colour-coded readiness levels show immediately who needs a follow-up. CQC-relevant documentation is stored and auditable — no more searching through physical filing systems.

4
Passing & Estate Handover

When a resident passes, family access is activated. Everything the executor needs is already there — will location, contacts, accounts, and any personal messages left by the resident. Your staff are not the ones searching. Families grieve, not scramble.

CQC-ready as a byproduct, not a burden.

Memoari stores documentation in a format that supports CQC inspection requirements around resident dignity, continuity of care, and family communication. Your Staff Portal becomes the audit record.

  • Preparation status per resident — auditable on demand at any time
  • Timestamped records of vault creation, updates, and family consent
  • Immutable audit log of all staff actions in the portal
  • End-of-life documentation stored securely — accessible to authorised staff only
  • UK GDPR compliant · AES-256 encrypted · UK data centres (AWS London) · Article 28 compliant
