Built by someone who does the work. Every day.
Caelum exists because the person who built it couldn't find the tool he needed to run his own care service.
The story behind Caelum
Nathan runs a domiciliary care service in Bournemouth, Dorset. He built Caelum because the existing tools were not good enough for the people who use them every day.
He knows the workflows because he lives them. He knows what a CQC inspector actually looks for because he has sat through the inspections. This is not a founder who read about care management in a report. This is someone who has done the late-night rota changes, the safeguarding calls, the medication audits.
What he found was a market full of expensive, fragmented tools built by people who had never managed a care service. One system for care plans. Another for scheduling. A third for invoicing. None of them talked to each other, and none of them understood how care actually works on the ground.
Caelum is the tool he wished existed. One platform that does everything, designed around the real workflows of a domiciliary care provider. Every feature exists because it solves a genuine problem. The name comes from the Latin word for sky, reflecting the ambition: to elevate care management, to give providers tools that are as good as the care they deliver.
Nathan Kiflom
Founder and CQC-Registered Manager
Make outstanding care management accessible to every provider, regardless of size or budget.
One platform
Everything in one place. No more switching between systems or paying for three tools to do one job.
Affordable from day one
Pricing that works for a 10-carer startup, not just a 500-carer chain. No per-carer fees, no surprises.
Built for care
Every decision is made by someone who actually runs a care service. Not by investors, not by consultants.
What we believe
Built for care, not for investors
We're funded by the people who use the product, not venture capital. That means our priorities are your priorities. Every feature decision starts with "does this help a carer or a manager?"
Honest by default
We tell you what the platform does and what it doesn't. No inflated claims, no misleading screenshots, no "coming soon" features on the sales page. If it's not built, we won't pretend it is.
Provider-first design
Every screen, every workflow, every button is designed for the people who actually use it: care managers on busy mornings and carers on their rounds. Technology should support carers, not get in their way.
Substance over flash
We ship updates every week. Every bug report gets looked at. Every feature request gets considered. The platform gets better because you tell us what's needed, not because a marketing team decided it was time for a rebrand.
