In the demanding world of homecare, efficient rostering and geolocating is crucial to ensure smooth operations and high-quality care. However, many homecare businesses struggle with outdated or inadequate rostering processes that can lead to inefficiencies and frustration. Let’s delve into the common challenges and explore how our solution can transform your rostering system.

Assessing your current rostering processes

Take a moment to reflect on your current rostering processes. Are the tools you use truly helpful and tailored to your needs? Consider these key aspects:

  • Communication of roster changes
    How do you inform your team about changes in their schedules? Is it through phone calls, texts, or emails? These methods can often lead to miscommunications and delays
  • Travel time management with geolocating
    How do you account for travel time between appointments? How do you keep updated in real-time regarding carer attendance, visit notes and alerts for missed or late visits and task completions? Live call monitoring, via QR code and GPS location recording of check-ins and check-outs, allow managers to know when a visit has been completed. Lone worker safety is improved
  • Safeguarding protocols
    What happens if a visit is missed? Effective safeguarding measures are crucial to ensure the well-being of both carers and clients
  • Quality of communication
    Do you feel that communication within your team is as good as it can be? Poor communication can be isolating and lead to misunderstandings and increased stress amongst carers
  • The impact of inefficient rostering:
    Consider the amount of time wasted each day and each week due to inefficient rostering and communication. This time could be better spent on providing high-quality care and supporting your team. What could you and your team achieve without these time sinks? Enhanced productivity and job satisfaction are within reach with the right tools
