Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for nursing homes
Clinical responsibility, end-of-life care and heavy physical work, often all in a single shift, and often short-staffed too. Nursing home teams hold more than most workplaces ever ask, and a laminated helpline poster isn't support. Spill gives your staff same-day therapy that fits around shifts, with counsellors who specialise in grief and compassion fatigue, from £75 a month for the whole home.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting nursing home staff across the UK





The triple load nursing home staff carry
Care sector turnover runs at around 25% a year (Skills for Care). In nursing homes, where clinical responsibility and end-of-life care sit on every shift, losing experienced staff hurts twice: rotas stretch thinner, and residents lose the familiar faces who know their needs.
Compassion fatigue
60% of care staff have experienced burnout or emotional exhaustion.
Boundary challenges
57% of carers feel overwhelmed because they can't switch off from work.
Financial pressures
61% of carers worry about their finances and struggle to make ends meet.
Keeping skilled nursing staff in post
Nurses and carers who feel genuinely supported stay longer and practise more safely. For residents, that means consistent clinical care from people who know them, not a rotation of agency cover.
Protect against compassion fatigue
Help staff process the emotional weight of caring for others before it turns into exhaustion.
Keep minds on the job
Supported staff have more attention and patience for the people who depend on them.
Reduce mental health sick days
Same-day support helps issues get dealt with early, before they become absence.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A confidential space for carers to process grief, compassion fatigue or just a hard week, with a therapist who specialises in exactly that. Same-day sessions fit around shifts and nights, with no waiting lists, call backs or forms.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures care workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to compassion fatigue and grief, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.

FAQs
For a nursing home, the best EAP needs to fit around 24-hour rotas, offer counsellors who understand grief, end-of-life care and compassion fatigue, and carry no caps or exclusions in the fine print. Spill offers unlimited same-day sessions from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, bookable by SMS or email for staff who aren't at a desk, with counsellors in the top 5% nationally. Pre-existing and severe cases are never excluded, and it's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot. To be fair, traditional helpline EAPs are cheaper per head. But 6 to 8 session caps, call centre triage and 2 to 5 year lock-ins are why usage sits at 3 to 5%, which is money spent on a service almost nobody touches.
Spill costs £75 a month for the whole home on a rolling 30 day contract. For a staff team of 35, that's just over £2 per person per month, with unlimited therapy, same-day booking and no exclusions. With sector turnover around 25% a year, keeping even one nurse makes it pay for itself. Book a demo and we'll take you through it.
An EAP gives nursing home staff confidential mental health support funded by the employer. With Spill, that means unlimited therapy with counsellors in the top 5% nationally, including specialists in grief and compassion fatigue. Staff book by SMS, email, Slack or MS Teams, usually for the same day, and sessions run 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, in more than 15 languages, so nights and weekends are covered.
Nursing home work asks people to be clinician, carer and physical labourer at once, while regularly accompanying residents through the end of their lives. That load explains a lot about why care sector turnover runs at around 25% a year. Staff who have nowhere to process grief and fatigue eventually protect themselves by leaving. Same-day therapy gives them another option, and gives you a steadier, more experienced team.
Yes. Independent nursing homes get the same service as national groups. There's no minimum headcount, £75 a month covers the whole team including nights and bank staff, and launch takes days. The rolling 30 day contract means you're never tied in beyond the month.
The care sector sees turnover of around 25% a year, and poor mental health is a major driver. Spill gives staff confidential, professional support that makes them feel genuinely cared for, which research links to greater job satisfaction and longer tenure. That helps you hold on to experienced carers.
Yes. Spill's counselling is available the same day, including evenings and weekends, because plenty of people don't work standard office hours. Our therapists are available from as early as 7am GMT to as late as 9:30pm GMT, 7 days a week, with no health assessments, waiting lists or call-backs. Employees can access support via SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams or email and book from their phone in a few clicks.
Spill offers therapy sessions in 15+ languages, so your team can speak freely with a counsellor that understands them best. Employees choose their preferred language from a drop-down when they book a session. We currently cover Armenian, Croatian, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Igbo, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Tagalog and Ukrainian. We're adding to this list all the time, so let us know if you have a request.

No session content is ever visible to them, to Spill, or to your company.
