The Problem

Your Coordinators Spend Their Day Refilling the Same Shifts

Scheduling breaks once an agency grows past what one person can hold in their head. Call-offs, new referrals, and client preferences all land on a coordinator with a spreadsheet and a phone.

  1. Call-offs

    One coordinator phones down a list at 6 a.m.

    Call-offs

    Open shifts text every qualified caregiver nearby, and the first yes wins.

  2. Wrong match

    A caregiver arrives without the skills the client needs.

    Wrong match

    Matching checks certifications, language, and client preferences before assigning.

  3. Hidden overtime

    Hours pile up until payroll spots them too late.

    Hidden overtime

    Weekly hour caps warn coordinators before a shift pushes someone over.

  4. Missed visits

    Late arrivals surface only when families call the office.

    Missed visits

    GPS clock-in flags a late start to the coordinator as soon as it happens.

It's 6:15 a.m. and a caregiver texts that their car won't start. Your coordinator opens the spreadsheet, looks for someone free, qualified, and close by, then starts calling down a list. Three voicemails later, a client who needs help getting out of bed is still waiting, and their daughter is calling the office. Meanwhile another caregiver is heading toward overtime because nobody added up their week. At month end, your billing team matches visit times by hand against the state's EVV records.

We start with your rules, written down: who can work with which client, how far caregivers will drive, and how many hours each may work. Then we build caregiver scheduling software that applies those rules for you. A call-off sends a text to every qualified caregiver nearby, and the first to accept gets the shift. Caregivers clock in with GPS, so a late start alerts the coordinator before the family calls. Each visit record is ready for EVV and payroll, not retyped at month end.

  • Matching by your rules

    Your rules on skills, certifications, language, and client preferences filter who can take each visit.

  • Open shifts filled by text

    Call-offs go to qualified caregivers ranked by distance and hours, and the first to accept is booked.

  • GPS clock-in for EVV

    Caregivers clock in and out on their phones, capturing the time and location data that EVV requires.

Our Caregiver Scheduling Software Process

From Your Scheduling Rules to a Live App in Five Steps

You approve the rules in plain language and click through screens before any code. Then you see working software every two weeks, so your coordinators shape the tool they use all day.

  1. We sit with your coordinators through a scheduling morning on a shared screen. You get a written map of your rules, your current software's API options, and whether an add-on or a new build fits.

What's Included

What You Get With Home Care Agency Scheduling Software

A coordinator calendar, a caregiver phone app, open-shift texting, travel-aware assignments, EVV-ready visit records, and payroll and billing exports, built around your agency's rules.

  • Coordinator scheduling calendar

    Your clients, caregivers, and recurring visits on one calendar, with conflicts flagged before you save a change.

  • Caregiver scheduling app

    Your caregivers see their week, accept open shifts, clock in with GPS, and add visit notes from their phones.

  • Open-shift broadcasts

    Call-offs text qualified caregivers ranked by distance and weekly hours, and the shift locks at the first acceptance.

  • Travel time between visits

    Drive time between your clients is checked on the map, so back-to-back visits are realistic for your team.

  • EVV-ready visit records

    Each visit stores the six data points EVV requires, ready for the export your state accepts.

  • Payroll and billing exports

    Approved visits export to your payroll and billing tools, so nobody retypes hours at month end.

Projects We've Built

Patient booking apps and staff time tracking tools we have built: the same scheduling, clock-in, and calendar patterns a caregiver app runs on.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built scheduling, booking, and staff apps for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Care Agencies Trust Us With Their Schedules

Your schedule decides whether a client gets help on time. These habits keep coordinators in control and caregivers willing to use the app.

  • We shadow your coordinators

    We watch a real scheduling morning before we write any rules. The call-offs and workarounds your team handles are exactly what the software must handle.

  • Rules in plain language

    Every matching and hour rule is written as a sentence you approve. When a shift goes to an unexpected caregiver, you can see which rule decided it.

  • PHI handled under a BAA

    Care data is protected health information for many agencies, so we sign a business associate agreement and host on HIPAA-eligible services. Nothing we build is called HIPAA certified, because no such certification exists.

  • Built for caregivers' phones

    Caregivers use the app between visits, often on older phones with weak signal. We keep screens simple and let clock-ins save offline until the signal returns.

  • Demos every two weeks

    You see working software at the end of every sprint, not just at launch. Coordinators test it on real schedules while changes are still cheap.

  • You own the code

    The code, database, and accounts are yours from day one. If you bring development in-house later, your team gets documented code, not a license.

Good fit

  • Non-medical home care agencies

    Your non medical home care scheduling software is really a spreadsheet, a group chat, and one coordinator who knows every client.

  • Home health agencies

    You need home health care scheduling software that matches nurses and therapists by discipline and keeps visit times ready for EVV checks.

  • Agencies serving Medicaid clients

    Your state requires EVV, and you want scheduling software for home care that plans visits well and sends clean records to the aggregator.

  • Multi-branch and franchise owners

    You run several branches, each with its own coordinator, and you need one view of open shifts, overtime, and missed visits.

  • Agencies outgrowing their suite

    Your suite schedules visits, but its filters can't express your rules, so you want an in home care scheduling software add-on that can.

Not a fit

  • Budget under $1,350

    You coordinate a few clients with two or three caregivers. A shared calendar and a group chat cost less than any build until you grow.

  • Clinic visits, not home visits

    You book patients into an office or telehealth calendar rather than sending caregivers to homes. Patient Self-Scheduling Software Integration fits that.

  • Website and referrals first

    Your schedule works, but families and discharge planners can't find you online. Home Care Website Design is the better place to start.

  • Need it live next week

    You want a ready-made tool running within days and have no custom rules. An off-the-shelf agency suite is faster, and we can extend it later.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, no-shows, EVV, and automating caregiver scheduling with or without replacing your current software.

  • A scheduling add-on for your current software starts at $1,350 and covers matching rules, open-shift texts, and late clock-in alerts. A custom scheduler with a caregiver app and GPS clock-in is $3,900. Multi-branch builds with EVV and payroll exports start at $7,800. Hosting and text messages are billed to your own accounts after launch.

  • It cuts the hours your coordinators spend on the phone and the overtime you didn't see coming. Your open shifts go out by text instead of calls down a list, and hour caps warn you before a shift pushes someone into overtime. Approved visits flow to your payroll without retyping. Fewer missed visits also means fewer credits owed to unhappy families.

  • It makes each visit clear and makes a missed start visible right away. Your caregivers confirm visits in the app the day before and get a reminder before the start time. Your coordinator gets an alert when nobody clocks in. Matching by distance and preferences helps too, because caregivers are less likely to skip visits they actually wanted.

  • Home care software is the system an agency uses to run client care: intake, care plans, scheduling, visit verification, billing, and payroll. Scheduling is the part coordinators touch all day. If you like your suite for billing, you can keep it and add a custom scheduling layer on top through its API. That is the add-on we build.

  • Most platforms offer client records, care plans, caregiver profiles, a scheduling calendar, EVV, billing, and payroll exports. Their scheduling tools are usually generic: basic filters and manual open-shift posting. If your matching rules go beyond those filters, a custom module on top of the platform gives you that control without replacing it.

  • EVV records when and where each visit actually happened, so the schedule stops being a plan nobody checks. Under the 21st Century Cures Act, Medicaid personal care and home health visits record six data points: service type, client, date, location, caregiver, and start and end times. Comparing those records with your schedule shows you late starts and short visits by caregiver.

  • Make the scheduled visit the source of the EVV record. The caregiver clocks in on that visit in the app, GPS confirms the location, and clock-out closes the record. Your state decides the next step: some require their own EVV system, while others accept data from yours through an aggregator such as Sandata or HHAeXchange. We check your state's rules before building the export.

  • Your caregivers stay longer when their schedules respect their time. Matching by distance cuts long drives between visits, hour caps prevent burnout weeks, and steady assignments let caregivers build relationships with the same clients. Open shifts offered by text, instead of pressure calls at the last minute, also give caregivers a real choice.

  • Set recurring visits once instead of rebuilding them each week, and let rules do the filtering. When a client's Tuesday and Thursday visits repeat, the scheduler copies them forward and flags only conflicts. Call-offs go out to qualified caregivers by text in one click. Your coordinators then handle the exceptions, not the whole schedule.

  • Use the software's API where it has one. We read clients, caregivers, and visits from your current system, run matching and open-shift texts in a small add-on, and write confirmed assignments back. Your billing, EVV, and payroll stay where they are. A home care scheduling app for caregivers can sit on the same add-on later.
