Who this is for and other options
Built for
- A scheduler or office lead who wants caregiver credentials in one place rather than spread across three spreadsheets and a wall calendar.
- A home care agency owner or administrator who wants a clear view of upcoming credential renewals and training requirements.
If you are looking for
- The complete Home Care HR System. It brings hiring, the first 90 days, shift coverage, pay, turnover cost, and credentials together as one operation under one product license. This kit is one of the six included in the system.
- For shift coverage, the Shift Coverage and Call-Off System calculates the cost of a broken shift and tracks every call-off.
