Home Carer Scheduling System

Our Home Care Scheduling system is specifically designed to allow Home Care Agencies to manage the process of scheduling Carers with Clients. Shifts tend to be short, often as little as one hour, and funding of shifts can come from a number of sources, e.g. Transport Accident Commission, Local Council, Other Agencies, relatives, and sometimes a combination of all of these for one shift. This system manages the whole scheduling process as well as the confirmation and processing of timesheets.

This home carer system comprises state of the art databases with multi-user functionality and the ability to send emails and SMS messages to Carers. The following data is held and managed within the system:
