  • Beyond the Care Plan: Eleanor Healthcare Group Becomes First UK Adult Social Care Provider to Put Digital Life Stories at the Heart of Care

    Summary

    Eleanor Healthcare Group partners with After Cloud to bring collaborative digital life stories into care homes, helping residents, families and care teams preserve memories, strengthen connection and support more meaningful person-centred care.

    At Eleanor Healthcare Group, innovation is one of our core values. For us, it means constantly looking for better ways to make care more personal, more meaningful and more connected to each resident’s life story.

    As part of this commitment, we are proud to launch a groundbreaking new initiative to transform person-centred care across our care homes.

    Eleanor Healthcare Group has partnered with After Cloud, the team behind Storyteller, a digital life story platform that helps people preserve memories, relationships, photographs, videos, letters, voice notes and personal stories in one secure place.

    Through this partnership, Eleanor becomes the first adult social care provider in the UK to place collaborative digital life stories at the heart of care delivery.

    This means residents and their families across our care homes will have the opportunity to create a digital life story together — a living record of the moments, people, places and experiences that have shaped who they are.

    Because while a care plan tells us what support a person needs, a life story helps us understand the person behind that support.

    The Road Less Travelled – Charting A Visionary Path Towards Success

    Despite a successful stint as one of the youngest finance directors in London, specialising in mergers and acquisitions for a prominent advertising company, Marc found his professional success to be hollow. Driven by a desire to serve the community, he left the lucrative world of finance to establish an accountancy practice and business consultancy in Lewisham. His mission was clear: guide local start-ups and small businesses toward financial transparency and profitability.

    As Marc’s consultancy flourished, he received a crucial call from Eleanor in 2005, who was struggling to keep her nursing agency afloat after 26 years. Marc took on the challenge, initiating a leap of faith that marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Today, the Eleanor Healthcare Group stands as a model business in the care sector, with over 1500 dedicated members, fluent in 112 languages, supporting over 3000 clients. The senior staff, with a combined experience of over 100 years in health and social care, has been instrumental in guiding and participating in the organisation’s remarkable growth.

    Marc draws inspiration from his team of staff care workers and frontline keyworkers, acknowledging their role in preserving the life and dignity of the most vulnerable in the community. He emphasises that Eleanor is an organization with people at its core, having created a paradigm shift in the care sector with the driving principle that social care is about people, not processes. In 2009, Marc introduced the concept of person-centric care, responding to a request from Richmond Council. Eleanor Healthcare Group led the transformation, offering tailor-made services and pioneering an outcomes-based approach in collaboration with local authorities. The organisation then took a leading role in preventive care, integrating health and social care services and introducing a novel caring model to Lewisham Council based on the Buurtzorg model.

    Despite numerous achievements, Marc sees success as just the beginning. The Eleanor family remains ready to take another leap of faith, with trust in people above processes. In the face of mounting challenges to health and social care systems, Marc has been steering Eleanor to the forefront of much-needed innovation within the UK and globally. Eleanor Healthcare Group takes pride in its identity, never compromising integrity and always preserving its true essence. The commitment to taking the road less travelled is evident as it approaches the next fork in the future of healthcare, promising to continue breaking new ground and redefine possibilities.
