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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Care Can't Wait: New Campaign to change the story on Adult Social Care The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) has today launched a bold new public awareness campaign called Care Can’t Wait to help change the way the public and politicians view adult social care and support. The campaign will feature powerful short films and photography of people across England whose lives have been transformed by high-quality adult social care. These stories show how care enables people to live the lives they want in their homes and communities. Jess McGregor, incoming ADASS President and Executive Director of Adults and Health at Camden Council , launched the campaign at the Association’s annual conference Spring Seminar. She said: “Social care is about people – people living full, meaningful lives, not just surviving. Good care supports people to do the things they love, to stay connected, and to be active members of their communities. “But delays, underfunding, and misunderstanding are holding us back. Care can’t wait – and neither can the people who depend on it.” Changing the narrative With public polling showing low public awareness and understanding of adult social care, this campaign aims to set the record straight by showing it in fact supports millions of adults, including working-age disabled people, people with mental health challenges enabling them to live their lives on their own terms. By platforming people who draw on care and support and supporting them to tell their stories, the campaign challenges outdated perceptions and shows the positive impact high quality social care can have. The campaign launch features a film of Abbie-Jo Laurence, 36, from Wiltshire, who draws on care and support to live and work independently. She shares her personal experiences and hopes for a system that enables everyone to thrive. Over the coming months, more stories will be shared from across the country, showing the diversity of care and the strength of the people who draw on it. “I want people to see that social care isn’t something that happens to other people,” said Abbie-Jo. “It could be you, your partner, your child, or your neighbour. We all deserve to live well – and care makes that possible.” Engaging the public “This campaign is about changing hearts and minds,” said McGregor. “We want to show the human impact of good care – and what’s at risk when it’s not available. These are real stories from real people, and they deserve to be heard.” As part of the campaign, ADASS is calling on members of the public to visit www.adass.org.uk/care-cant-wait and to: Watch and share the films across social media and with family and friends Sign the campaign hand raiser to support the campaign and receive updates on how to get involved. Talk about social care with friends, family and colleagues Champion reform by urging our leaders to improve and invest in adult social care and support.
