Sona and Dovehaven Care Homes are pleased to announce a new partnership.

Together, they will work to enhance the efficiency and wellbeing of teams across Dovehaven’s 23 care homes in the North West, helping to deliver ever higher standards of care for residents.

This partnership will bring Dovehaven a fully integrated, end-to-end workforce management platform covering HR, Scheduling, Payroll, and Employee Engagement, all accessible through an intuitive interface designed with residential services and frontline staff in mind.

Dovehaven is committed to providing outstanding person-centred care by prioritising the support and wellbeing of their people. As part of their digital transformation journey, they sought a solution that could unify their employee management systems, reduce manual tasks, and increase wellbeing for their teams. Their commitment to innovation was recently recognised when they won the ‘Best for Innovation in Care’ award at the Care Home Awards — a testament to their forward-thinking approach and dedication to excellence. 

When choosing a new WFM provider, Sona’s platform stood out for its sector expertise and seamless integration capabilities.
