Small providers make up 80% of the care home market, yet when it comes to technology and AI, they’re often the last to get support. In this episode, I sit down with Samir Patel – care home owner, operator, and founder of the Care Home Digi Hive community – to talk about his 20-year journey from paper chaos to practical AI implementation.
Samir shares the lightbulb moments that pushed him toward tech, the £25,000 mistake that taught him everything about change management, and why he believes care homes should start with “back office” AI before touching resident data.
Whether you’re a startup or a large provider, this conversation is packed with hard-won lessons on making technology work without overwhelming your team.
