About
Found is the only online care home software that's mapped to the care sector's unique sales journey. We help busy care professionals capture and convert more leads - all whilst delivering exceptional customer service.
Our Mission
Our mission is to become the leading care home operating software in the UK and to fundamentally help care providers to offer a better service to families.
We want to simplify and enhance the day to day operations of care homes and be a trusted partner in the digitisation of enquiries, occupancy and finance processes.
Care home management is hard. With arduous paper based enquiries, hundreds of tiresome spreadsheets, consistent double entry of information and complicated invoicing and payments.
But fear not, Found by Lottie is here to help. By providing a one-stop digital service, you can run your day-to-day tasks from logging and tracking enquiries, all the way through to managing a resident’s stay and automating their billing. Found can save each team member up to half a day per week on admin. Time better spent.
Our Why
In 2020, brothers Will and Chris Donnelly decided they wanted to shake up the social care scene by building a care home marketplace, Lottie, which would empower care seekers to find the brightest and best care homes in the UK.
Quickly becoming the UK’s fastest growing marketplace in the sector and the second most visited website in the care space, the insights gained across tens of thousands of enquiries highlighted a huge discrepancy in the response times and quality when handling care seekers. Across thousands of homes, the brothers conducted in depth research which highlighted 68% of enquiries do not get responded to within 48 hours.
To really change the sector for the better, Will and Chris realised that improving care home operations and helping care homes to transition to digital solutions was the crucial step. So in 2022, they built Found by Lottie to lead the digital revolution within care homes.
