Care home software: more time for residents, less on paperwork

GIRBO is a care and management system for residential care homes for older people and social care settings, developed by Madamit Kft. It works on computers, phones and tablets, with nothing to install. It keeps everything in one place, linked to the resident: care documentation, medication rounds, care fees and payment requests, contact with families, the kitchen and operations, staff matters and reporting to the authorities. That is 80+ features in 8 areas. Details: Features.

Cloud-based: GIRBO runs over the internet in a web browser, so the home needs no server, no installation and no dedicated IT staff. Staff sign in with a password and their own phone, from any computer, tablet or phone connected to the internet.

Yes. GIRBO handles KENYSZI reporting: it gathers the data needed for the report in one place, highlights anything missing and prepares the submission, with a direct connection to KENYSZI. For care homes the submission is monthly; the data on service use is kept up to date every day, and if a move-in, a move-out or an absence makes it worth submitting sooner, GIRBO prepares that too. See: Compliance and administration.

Yes. The manager draws up the shift rota in a monthly table, which also shows sick leave; leave requests, approvals and remaining leave are handled here too. GIRBO tracks staff members' mandatory training and medical fitness-to-work certificates, and tells you before they expire; you can also see where each person stands in collecting their continuing professional development (CPD) points. The annual training plan can be printed for the authority with one click. That way, you do not find out about an expired training course at an inspection. See: Staff and HR.

We store the data in the European Union; some supplementary services may use providers outside the EU, with contractual safeguards. Only people the home gives access to can sign in, and besides the password, the staff member's phone is needed too. Everyone sees only what they need for their work, and every change is recorded: you can look up who changed what and when. Details: Compliance and security.

GIRBO grew out of the daily life of one care setting: the Támasz care home and retirement home in Veszprém works with it every day. Details and contact: References.
