For supported living providers in England

Get paid for every hour of care you deliver.

Every month, ProxIsle checks what the council ordered, what your staff delivered and what you invoiced, for every person you support. You see the hours that slipped through, what they are worth, and exactly what to do next.

The free check covers one month of your council-funded hours. No software to install.

The problemWhere money goes missing

Care gets delivered. Not all of it gets paid for.

Council orders sit in one system, rotas in another and invoices in a third. Finance teams reconcile them by hand in spreadsheets, usually after the money has already gone. Small gaps in each person's support add up across a whole organisation.

Not invoiced

Hours delivered but never billed

A missed invoice line, a late rota change, a new tenant before the paperwork caught up.

Not ordered

Support given above the council order

Needs changed, staff responded, and nobody asked the council to update the package.

Not paid

Invoices short-paid or overdue

Remittances that don't match, and payments nobody has chased.

Over-claimed

Hours invoiced that weren't delivered

Fixed now, it's a credit note. Found at audit, it's a clawback and a difficult conversation.

Worked example · illustrative

One month for a provider supporting 120 people across three councils.

This is the kind of result a monthly ProxIsle check produces. The figures are illustrative, built from typical supported living rates of around £24 an hour, not from a real customer.

The sector has named it

Reconciling commissioned, delivered and billed hours is the first finance requirement in the sector's own digital roadmap.

The Digital Excellence in Care report for working age adults, from Care England, Digital Care Hub and VODG, describes this check as manual today and sets out a future where it is automated and people only handle the exceptions. That is what ProxIsle does.
