Built in 2025. For the CQC framework that exists today.
Not adapted from a 2010 codebase. Not a collection of bolt-on modules acquired over a decade. Atara is purpose-built for UK care homes — one platform, one audit trail, one data model. CQC-ready from day one, with a public roadmap to full NHS connectivity.
Three reasons care homes switch to Atara
Built for CQC from day one
Evidence is auto-tagged to CQC regulations as your staff work — not assembled the weekend before an inspection. 18 mapping rules across 12 Fundamental Standards. Export a complete evidence pack in under 2 minutes.
See CQC Compliance10 modules. One platform.
Resident management, eMAR, care planning, daily logs and handovers, incidents, risk assessments, staff rostering, CQC compliance, family portal, and predictive analytics — built together from day one. One audit trail. Everything talks to everything. No bolt-on integrations.
See All ModulesNo lock-in. Ever.
Your data exports in CSV, XLSX, and PDF at any time. FHIR R4 data model built into the architecture. Per-bed pricing with no per-seat fees and no contract lock-in. If you leave, your data leaves with you.

Most care home software was built 10-15 years ago and extended with bolt-on modules. Atara is different — multi-tenant architecture from day one, real-time data isolation per care home, immutable audit trail with 7-year retention, and a public roadmap to full NHS connectivity. The architecture matters because it determines what's possible.

Frequently asked questions
How is Atara Care different from older legacy systems?
Atara Care is built as one integrated platform for UK care homes, so modules share one data model and one audit trail. This reduces duplicate entry and speeds up CQC evidence readiness.
How long does onboarding usually take?
Most homes are live within days, not months. We scope migration and training upfront, then run a guided rollout with your manager and key champions.
Can we export our data if we decide to leave?
Yes. Data export is available in standard formats and we do not lock customers into proprietary access patterns.
