Managing homecare rosters is a complex task, balancing staff availability, client needs and compliance requirements. To help make this process smoother and more efficient, we’re introducing Roster Plans at CareLineLive – a new feature designed to give you greater control over scheduling without the pressure of making immediate changes.

This feature was developed particularly for providers that offer live-in care but has benefits for all home care providers.

What is a Roster Plan?

A Roster Plan is a dedicated space where you can experiment with and preview changes to your schedule before applying them. Instead of adjusting rosters live, you can draft, tweak and refine shifts and visits in advance, ensuring everything runs smoothly before publishing.

Why use Roster Plans?

Plan ahead without limits – schedule visits as far into the future as needed
Collaborate seamlessly – multiple users can work on the same plan together
Real-time validation – get instant alerts on scheduling conflicts or compliance issues
Bulk updates – make changes to multiple bookings at once, saving valuable time
Queued actions – nothing goes live until you choose to apply changes

How does it work?

Roster Plans function as a draft mode for your scheduling. You can create a plan, assign carers, adjust shifts and review any potential issues before publishing. Your team can also work together on the same plan, ensuring everyone is aligned.
