Questions buyers ask, answered straight.
Before you choose care software, ask hard questions. These are our answers on NHS assurance, security certificates, references, what the AI is allowed to do, contract length and getting your data out. Where the answer is no, we say no.

Customer data is hosted in the United Kingdom, in London. The full detail, including every sub-processor, is in our security policy and Data Processing Agreement.
Can We Speak to Agencies That Use Aim?
Yes. Ask on your demo and we will introduce you to UK home care agencies that use Aim.
Two examples you can read today: Alpine Care UK moved to Aim with Aim Migrate and was inspected less than a week later, and Danny Sampson of MyHomecare describes the move of about 180 clients. Both are on our customers page, with messages from other agencies quoted word for word.
Aim also has public review profiles on Trustpilot and G2, where customers post reviews themselves.
What Does the AI Do by Itself, and What Needs Approval?
You decide, agent by agent. Each Aim Agent runs at one of three levels:
The agent recommends, and your team does the work.
The agent prepares the work and waits for someone to approve it.
The agent acts inside the rules and instructions you set.
Whatever the level, everything the AI produces for the care record is a draft until a member of staff approves it, a senior signs every care plan, and every action lands in the activity log. AI can be switched off by role, by user or for the whole account, and Aim works fully without it.
Customer data is never used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any AI model. AI features run through the commercial APIs of OpenAI and Anthropic only, never consumer products.
How Much of the Admin Does Aim Automate?
Aim puts AI on the routine office work in each part of the agency. This is what each part does:
- Aim Assist. Type it or say it. Aim Assist creates clients, drafts plans, builds schedules, sends messages and pulls reports, and asks before saving.
- AI care plans. From assessment to a draft care plan in under 30 minutes, for your senior to check and sign.
- Aim Assign. The rostering engine plans the week's visits and saves them as a draft for you to check and publish.
- Aim Rewrite. Carers write notes in their own language, and Aim turns them into clear, audit-ready records.
- Voice AI Receptionist. On Aim Business Suite, it answers every call, captures needs and funding, and books assessments.
Aim Assist and AI care plans are included in both plans. Aim Agents add six specialist agents, open to approved partners:
- Rota Agent. Finds cover, fills gaps and keeps rounds efficient.
- Care Audit Agent. Audits care records against the CQC framework: notes, MAR charts and incidents.
- Finance Agent. Checks invoices and payslips before you approve them.
- HR Agent. Tracks right to work, DBS, training and expiry dates.
- Recruitment Agent. Posts job ads, screens applicants, books interviews and sends onboarding packs.
- Sales Agent. Answers enquiries by call, chat and email, and books assessments.
How Long Is the Contract, and How Do We Leave?
Minimum term, paid monthly or for the year upfront.
Written notice to cancel, sent by email.
Cooling-off for new customers: 14 on a monthly plan, 30 on an annual plan.
A cancellation cannot take effect before the end of the 12-month minimum term. Paying for the year upfront gives 12 months for the price of 9.
When the agreement ends:
You keep read-only access to export your data.
Ask in writing in those 30 days and we send a standard export in CSV, and PDF where it applies, at no extra charge, as long as fees due have been paid.
We keep your data in a secured archive for 6 months, then delete it, and confirm in writing on request.
