What is CMS?
The Ablyss Care Management System, or CMS, is an intuitive and highly customisable desktop software and app, designed for the residential care sector. The versatility of this on-premises software means that it works equally well in many different care environments such as elderly residential and nursing, or specialised care environments, such as those for people who have brain injuries or severe autism.
The software’s primary goal is to cater specifically to the day-to-day care needs of a home. The emphasis is on care management, recording, and analysis, and it has been designed with the carers and managers of the home in mind. Ablyss CMS makes it easy to record data and to monitor when reviews are due, all the time building up a history of the resident’s changing care needs.
Ablyss CMS Desktop is the beating heart of the system. It contains an extensive features set for your resident, staffing, care management, and facilities management needs, empowering you to help achieve compliance and to evidence the care provided.
Ablyss CMS is our comprehensive, on-premises care management system. Find out more about Blyssful, our new cloud-based care management solution.

Ablyss CMS provides many of the features that you will need to successfully record and document care within your business, however, we also understand that it may not cover all aspects of a care home’s needs.
This is why we have begun a partnership programme; providing integrations with other software suppliers, and enabling you to share data and to create a seamless link between CMS and your other systems.
