About Boost

We built Boost for the person on shift.

Care workers do one of the most important jobs there is, usually with the least support. Boost exists to put the right knowledge in their hands, at the moment they need it.

What we believe

  • Understood, not just signed

    A signature only proves someone saw the policy. Understanding is what keeps residents safe, so that’s what we measure.

  • Content assurance is key

    Our content goes through a formal assurance process with care sector subject matter experts before it reaches your team.

  • No rationing help

    Nobody should have to count their questions about care. Ask Boost has no daily limit.

Why we started

Care homes don’t fail inspections because they lack policies. They fail because those policies were written for auditors, not for the carer on shift.

Most homes have hundreds of policies. Few of them help the person standing in a resident’s room at 3am, wondering what to do next.

So in 2024, we started Boost from the other end. What does a care assistant actually need to know? How do you check they’ve understood it, not just signed it? And what happens when they’re unsure and there’s nobody to ask?

Boost Policy, Boost Learn and Ask Boost are our answer: one connected platform that turns compliance into confidence, now used by over 400 care homes across England and Wales.

The team

We’ve worked in care, taught it and built technology for it. Now everything we make is for the people on shift.
