Celebrating Ally Cares Transformational Impact in 2024


Transforming care across the UK: Ally’s impact in 2024


In 2024, Ally Cares delivered remarkable results in care homes across the UK, revolutionising care delivery and significantly enhancing outcomes for residents, families, and staff.


Through its innovative acoustic monitoring technology, Ally has had a profound impact on thousands of lives, as evidenced by the key outcomes achieved this year.



Key achievements in 2024


  • 6,000+ residents benefiting: Ally’s solution supported over 6,000 residents, ensuring safer and more personalised care in various settings across the UK.
  • 10 million hours of safer care: The technology delivered an unparalleled 10 million hours of safer care, safeguarding residents and fostering greater peace of mind for families.
  • 4,100 falls prevented: Proactively identifying risks, Ally helped prevent over 4,100 falls, protecting residents from harm and reducing pressure on care staff.
  • 2 million+ extra hours of sleep: By reducing night-time disturbances, Ally improved the quality of sleep for residents, adding over 2 million extra hours of rest.
  • 330,000 hours given back to staff: Care staff benefited from 330,000 hours saved, allowing them to focus more on delivering meaningful, person-centred care.
  • 2,000+ new bedrooms installed: Ally expanded its footprint by adding over 2,000 new bedrooms equipped with its technology, a testament to its growing presence and proven value in the care sector.


Care home impact 


Throughout the year, care homes such as Azalea Court, Rathmore House, Meifod & Vicarage Court, and Compton Lodge have shared their experiences with Ally, highlighting the transformative impact of the technology. 


At Azalea Court, Julie Burton, Head of Operations, described Ally as a “game changer,” enabling optimised, personalised, and proactive care through insights on unseen events: 


"With Ally, we’ve been able to optimise the care plan for every resident, leading to transformative improvements in their lives, something we couldn't achieve with care plan data alone.”


Rathmore House has experienced astonishing results. Their search for a solution to reduce falls evolved into a catalyst for cultural change within the home, resulting in the elimination of high-risk night-time falls, improved staff morale, and a more proactive approach to care. Chris Barry, Care Home Manager, remarked: 


"The impact has been huge. Ally hasn’t just improved safety; it’s changed the way we think about care. We’re now able to provide better, more personalised care to our residents, and that’s what it’s all about.”


At Meifod & Vicarage Court, similar sentiments were echoed, with staff noting the “massive reduction in falls” as residents enjoy better sleep and are more alert and interactive during the day. Nazmeen Arif, Responsible Individual at the home, noted: 


"Ally has made a tangible difference in our home, giving us a better way to protect our residents without taking away from the personal care we provide. We’re seeing a real change in how residents live and sleep, and that’s what makes this work so worthwhile.”


At Compton Lodge, the focus on improving resident safety at night and enhancing sleep to reduce falls has led to tailored night checks based on individual resident needs rather than adhering to a fixed schedule. Robert Kornas, Care Home Manager, commented: 


"The reduction in unnecessary checks has made a real difference. Our residents are now getting much better sleep, which is crucial for their well-being. Ally allows us to monitor without disturbing them, and the benefits of uninterrupted sleep are clear in how residents are during the day.”


Leadership perspective


Thomas Tredinnick, CEO and Co-Founder of Ally, reflected on the organisation’s achievements in 2024:


"Our mission has always been to make care smarter and safer for everyone. These results demonstrate not only the power of our technology but also the incredible commitment of care home teams who partner with us. Together, we’ve been able to create a measurable difference in the lives of residents and staff across the UK."



Looking ahead


As Ally continues to expand its reach, it remains committed to raising standards in care through innovation, collaboration, and a relentless focus on the needs of residents and staff.


With its 2024 achievements as a foundation and media coverage within The Times and BBC, Ally is set to scale even greater heights in 2025, driving forward a vision of smarter, safer, and more compassionate care.

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.
