What's out there?
Generic care systems. Expensive enterprise software. Paper templates with no compliance checking.
None of them were designed for the way you actually work.
LPS Documentation Tools
Everything you need to transform your care documentation
Capacity Assessment Documentation
LPS requires decision-specific capacity assessments. CareVoice templates align with the Mental Capacity (Amendment) Act 2019 requirements for determining whether arrangements amount to a deprivation of liberty.
Necessary and Proportionate Assessment
Document whether the proposed arrangements are necessary to prevent harm and proportionate to the likelihood and severity of that harm. Voice capture records your professional reasoning.
Conditions and Monitoring
Record conditions attached to authorisations and ongoing monitoring requirements. CareVoice timestamps every review for complete compliance evidence.
Consultation Documentation
LPS requires consultation with the person, their appropriate person, and any IMCA. Voice capture preserves these consultations verbatim.
Responsible Body Evidence
Documentation structured for responsible body review — whether NHS trust, local authority, or care home manager (for non-objecting cases under LPS).
Safeguarding Intelligence
LPS documentation often reveals safeguarding concerns. Real-time detection flags potential abuse, neglect, or coercion during assessment documentation.
Preparing for LPS
Real challenges that care professionals face every day
DoLS system overwhelmed with backlogs and delays
LPS streamlines the authorisation process but increases documentation requirements. CareVoice voice documentation means thorough assessments in less time.
No backlogs
Expanded scope covers 16-17 year olds and community settings
LPS extends beyond care homes and hospitals. CareVoice templates adapt to all settings — domestic, community, and supported living — not just institutional care.
All settings covered
Care home managers taking on authorisation responsibilities
Under LPS, care home managers can authorise non-objecting cases. CareVoice provides the documentation framework to support these new responsibilities.
Manager-ready
Capacity assessments not meeting the decision-specific standard
Voice documentation captures your reasoning for why this specific arrangement amounts to a deprivation and why capacity is lacking for this specific decision.
Decision-specific
Review and monitoring requirements increasing
LPS requires regular reviews. CareVoice audit trails show when reviews occurred, what changed, and why — creating defensible evidence of ongoing compliance.
Continuous compliance
Transition from DoLS to LPS causing documentation gaps
CareVoice supports both DoLS and LPS documentation. Transition when your authority does — no gap in coverage or compliance.
