Paljon onnea to… us?! 🎉
Pinch us, please! Nursebuddy was named a finalist and received a Highly Commended recognition in The Social Care Premier Supplier Awards 2026 under the Technology (Home Care) category!
In today’s challenging climate, innovation in domiciliary care is more vital than ever. These awards recognise and celebrate the organisations and products making a real, positive difference across the social care sector, and we’re honoured to be recognised among them.
What this award category is all about
The Technology (Home Care) award celebrates tools designed purposefully for homecare settings. To qualify, organisations must demonstrate passion and dedication to homecare providers, a deep knowledge of smart care management technology, and a meaningful impact on care workers and the people receiving care.
At Nursebuddy, we believe it takes a kylä (that’s Finnish for village!) to deliver high-quality care. Our passion lies in supporting everyone who plays a part in that journey. We’re here for carers, registered managers, and people receiving care in the comfort of their own homes.
We design our homecare management software to make day-to-day care simple with tools like:
- A Carer Wellbeing Survey and Appreciation Centre to keep teams feeling valued and motivated
- The #1 rated app for carers so care workers can access clear schedules and care plans on the go
- Customer-led features like smart medication stock management and auditing tools shaped directly by homecare teams
We also focus on delivering real value and practical guidance to the wider homecare community through:
- Our 2026 Carer Wellbeing Report with insights from over 151,000 daily check-ins to highlight real-time sector trends
- Actionable management playbooks to help leaders handle key workplace challenges
- Insightful webinars for care teams and managers packed with practical strategies to strengthen care
Highly Commended: What the judges said
An independent panel of judges, chaired by Professor Martin Green OBE (Chief Executive of Care England), evaluated the entries and announced the results live at the awards gala in London on Tuesday 13 October.
We were thrilled to be awarded Highly Commended! Here is what the judging panel had to say:
"The judges Highly Commended Nursebuddy for its contribution to the use of digital tools in home care. Delivering support in people’s own homes requires reliable coordination, clear information and effective communication between teams. Technology that helps providers manage these responsibilities can make an important difference to the consistency of services. The panel recognised the relevance of solutions designed for the realities of domiciliary care and the need to keep the people receiving support at the centre of operational decisions. Nursebuddy’s recognition reflects the growing importance of practical, accessible technology in helping home care organisations deliver responsive services."
Thank you!
Receiving this recognition reinforces our mission to build practical, accessible technology that puts people at the heart of home care.
So, a huge kiitos/thank you to all of our amazing clients for inspiring everything we build at Nursebuddy. This one’s for you. 💚
