Feature · Scheduling

Build the week without double-booking anyone.

Conflicts surface while you build, and everything still needing a person waits on the open-shift board, not in your head. The whole week, per caregiver, at a glance.

Week schedule board showing visits per caregiver, with an unfilled count and conflict flags

From a blank week to a published schedule.

The same four moves every week, in one place instead of a spreadsheet and your memory.

1

Build the week

Lay out next week on a board that shows every caregiver’s week side by side.

2

Flag conflicts

Overlaps and double-bookings are called out inline the moment you assign a visit.

3

Post open shifts

Every visit still needing a person lands on the open-shift board, the count kept current.

4

Publish clean

Resolve the flags, publish the week, and verified visits flow into billing and payroll.

Week schedule board showing visits per caregiver, with an unfilled count and conflict flags

The whole week, per caregiver, at a glance.

Build next week on a board that shows every caregiver’s week side by side. Conflicts and overlaps are flagged inline the moment you assign, so a double-booking never reaches anyone’s phone.

  • Conflicts and overlaps flagged inline as you assign.
  • The whole week per caregiver, at a glance.
  • Unfilled visits counted, ready to post to the open-shift board.
  • Caregivers listed nearest first, with the distance from this client beside each name.
  • The board opens the way you left it: week, biweekly, month or list.

Everything the week needs to come together.

Open shifts wait on a board, not in your head.

Every visit that still needs a person lands on the open-shift board, the count kept current. Fill it from the people who can actually take it, and watch the open count fall.

Every conflict named before you publish.

Open a visit and the schedule shows exactly what is wrong — an overlap, a gap, a caregiver already booked — named in plain language, so you fix it before the week goes out.

See who is near whom before you staff a visit.

Map plots your active clients on one map, with caregiver pins for owners and admins. Pick a client and the nearest caregivers come back with the distance to each, whatever your role. Anyone whose address is not on the map yet is counted rather than quietly dropped, so a gap reads as missing data, not as an empty neighbourhood. Picking a caregiver on a visit reads the same way: nearest first, the distance beside the name, and no bracket at all where the distance is not known yet.

A credential gap is named, not discovered later.

You decide which credentials each service code and each caregiver role requires, and the two lists combine. The check is judged against the visit’s own scheduled start, so a document that will have lapsed by then counts as missing today. Assigning a caregiver from the visit record is refused outright, and so is a caregiver picking up an open shift they are not cleared for. On the other routes into the schedule — creating a visit, publishing a recurring series, importing a spreadsheet — the gap is written onto the visit as a blocking conflict for a coordinator to clear before the week goes out. Nothing is required until you say so.

Publish once, and the week goes out clean.

Resolve the flags on the board, publish with confidence, and the verified visits flow straight into billing and payroll, with no re-keying the same week twice. A visit the missed-visit timer got wrong can be reopened: it returns to Scheduled, reminders and alerts re-arm, and the reopen is recorded.

The schedule you build reaches a real person’s day.

Every clean week you publish turns into someone showing up, unhurried and on time, for a visit that matters. The board does the worrying so the caregiver doesn’t have to.

A double-booking never reaches anyone’s phone.

Conflicts are caught on the board while you build, so the schedule that goes out is the schedule that holds.
