At Mariposa Care Homes, we’re always striving to provide the highest standard of care for our residents. In our commitment to always further enhancing the care we provide, we are thrilled to announce the integration of Camascope, an Electronic Medication Administration Record system, into our care homes.
This state-of-the-art technology is set to revolutionise the way we manage and administer medications, ensuring additional safety, accuracy, and efficiency in our daily operations.
A Leap Forward in Medication Management
At Mariposa Care, we understand that medication management is a critical component of the care we provide to our residents; requiring precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to the well-being of those we care for. The integration of Camascope allows us to streamline this process, offering several key benefits:
- Increased Accuracy: The electronic system minimises the risk of human error, ensuring that each resident receives the correct medication at the right time.
- Comprehensive Records: With digital documentation, we can maintain detailed and accessible records of each resident’s medication history, improving transparency and communication among our care team.
- Enhanced Safety: Alerts and reminders are built into the system, helping to prevent missed doses and alerting staff to potential drug interactions or allergies.
- Efficiency and Ease of Use: The intuitive interface of Camascope simplifies the medication administration process, freeing up valuable time for our caregivers to focus on personalised resident care.

Feedback so far
Camascope was initially launched in Autumn 2024 at St Luke’s nursing home in Pudsey, where responses to the new system have remained extremely positive since it’s introduction. A St Luke’s team member said:
“I love Camascope, it’s so user friendly and the post implementation support has been good. It has made the whole process more visual and has reduced the amount of nurse/manager time taken to order and book in medication – giving us more time to spend with residents.”
This positive feedback has been echoed across the care group as the system has been introduced to different Mariposa Care Homes. Many staff have commented on the simplicity of the system and how its introduction has reduced admin time whilst ensuring recording and administrative accuracy.
Chris Beastall, Development Director at Mariposa Care, praised the positive integration. He said:
“At Mariposa Care, we are committed to being residential and nursing care leaders when adopting new technologies that help further enhance our care. By introducing the Camascope system to our care homes, we have been able to increase efficiency in medication reporting whilst also reducing administrative time for our care teams.”
The Camascope system is now being used at the majority of Mariposa care homes, with installation imminent for the remaining few.
Tracey Gibson, Training Manager at Camascope, has also praised the uptake of the new system at Mariposa Care. She said:
“I’m so happy that Camascope has been successfully implemented. The team [have been] exceptionally responsive and receptive during the training days. They worked hard to ensure that everything that needed to be done was done. This helped ensure a smooth and efficient deployment. I look forward to rolling out Camascope throughout the rest of the group and I’m really looking forward to seeing the positive impact that Camascope will have in enhancing the quality of care provided.”
At Mariposa Care, as always, our commitment remains to our residents and their families, ensuring they receive the best possible care in a supportive and nurturing environment.We are excited about the positive impact Camascope will have on our community and look forward to seeing the benefits unfold as we continue to innovate and elevate the standards of care within our homes.
