In their own words
Caregiver Scheduling
Caregiver Scheduling is software for non-medical home care agencies that brings shift planning, visit verification, care documentation, caregiver matching, credential tracking, and authorization monitoring together. Its calendar supports drag-and-drop scheduling, recurring patterns, shift swaps, and broadcasting open shifts to qualified caregivers. Caregivers can clock in with GPS or telephonic backup, and visits can be submitted to supported state aggregators: HHAeXchange, Sandata, Tellus, and Netsmart. On mobile, they can log ADL and IADL tasks, including bathing, medication reminders, vitals, and transfers. Matching filters include skills, certifications, language, location, availability, and client preferences. Credential records cover background checks, TB tests, CPR, and state certifications, with expiration alerts. The system tracks Medicaid authorization hours and units in real time, with alerts for authorizations nearing expiration or running low on units. Its Android and iOS app queues clock-ins and care logs through brief signal losses, then syncs after reconnection. Plans start at $99 per month, and a 7-day trial is available.
