Open Solutions to Improve Adult Social Care
reallycare CIC is a social enterprise on a mission: to use open source software, open data - and anything else open and transparent - to improve Adult Social Care. We realise that this will be a long haul (but that's OK - we have at least 15 years until the first of us retires!) but we believe that open source software will become a major part of the market in all vertical markets eventually, not just in technology.
In March 2012 we published the Better Care Guide, a site which allows the public to search for care and comment on care providers. It is the only site of its kind that covers the UK, and the only one that is open source.
Our first product, published in late 2011, is web software to manage volunteering organisations such as our own YouAngel community, and we are keen to further develop it with partners in the public and third sectors (at which point - if not before - it would be open-sourced).
