AI Call Monitoring for Care Homes

Know exactly what's happening on your phones. Every day, by 8am.

CareTime's Silent Guard monitors your care home's incoming calls, screens out nuisance callers, and delivers a clear Morning Brief to your registered manager each morning. No hardware. No phone system changes. Up and running in under a week.

Try it for £49 — 30 day pilot

CareTime's Silent Guard is an AI call monitoring service built specifically for UK care homes. It connects to your existing phone line — no new hardware, no number changes — and monitors every incoming call. Each morning, your registered manager receives a Morning Brief email by 8am: a summary of the previous day's call activity, screened callers, and any items that need attention. The pilot is £49 for 30 days.

What Silent Guard does

Silent Guard handles three things: identifying what calls came in, filtering nuisance callers before they reach your staff, and surfacing anything that needs a follow-up.

Call screening

Every incoming call is assessed against known spam and marketing databases and analysed for call behaviour patterns. Calls identified as likely nuisance or sales calls are flagged before they reach your team. Genuine callers — families, GPs, pharmacies, local authority contacts — ring through as normal.

Over time, Silent Guard builds a contact database specific to your home, improving accuracy as it learns your call patterns.

The Morning Brief

Each morning by 8am, your registered manager receives a short summary email covering:

The Morning Brief is designed to be read in under two minutes. It gives your manager visibility over communications without adding to their workload.

Call records and CQC evidence

Silent Guard maintains an ongoing log of call activity: volumes, response patterns, screened calls, and flagged items. These records can be used as supporting evidence during CQC inspections — particularly relevant to the Well-Led and Responsive quality statements, which assess how care homes manage communications and respond to families.

What Silent Guard does not do

Silent Guard is a monitoring and screening service, not an answering service. It does not answer calls on your behalf or interact with callers directly. CareTime's AI Receptionist — currently in development — handles inbound call answering and is designed to work alongside Silent Guard. Find out more about the AI Receptionist.
