Self Managed Care

cloudBuy Care Marketplace is designed for use by Self Funders (where the person pays for care themselves) and also for Commissioners (local authorities who pay on behalf of an individual, using virtual budgets).

Those who have self managed care get their own personal embedded account within the marketplace, allowing them to purchase their own care needs from a wide range of services with the budgets they receive. The budget can be topped up with an additional card – as is typical in an “Amazon” type environment, allowing the individual and their families to top-up personal budgets if desired.

Users will not need a bank account in order to receive a budget - which means that the cloudBuy Care Marketplace offers greater inclusivity than current Direct Payment schemes – Individuals and representatives can always see how much money has been spent, committed and remaining from a reducing balance in their online account.  This will allow individuals to ensure that they are managing their budgets effectively and detection of issues can be caught early.
