The week before AppyShift

What home care agency managers are juggling

The visit list is a spreadsheet

Who is going where lives in a file the caregiver cannot open from the car.

A name in a text

A schedule alert should not carry a client name or address outside the app.

A license in a folder

Someone is assigned with a card that is no longer current.

One week in AppyShift

The same week, with this industry's tools

Each screen is a real AppyShift page from a sample company, showing a tool this industry turns on.

MondayEvery plan

The visits for the month

Upcoming visits show the day, the time, and the caregiver. Client names and addresses stay off this view.

  • Published and draft visits
  • Client details stay behind sign-in
A caregiver's schedule in the employee app for a sample home care agency: five confirmed visits next week, Oct 26 to Nov 1, with the day and start time of each.

A caregiver's upcoming visits in the employee app, with the day and time of each one. Client details stay behind sign-in. Texts, email, push, and calendar feeds say only Home visit.

When you add a visitEvery plan

Schedule the visits

Pick the days, the time, and whether a caregiver is assigned or the visit stays open.

  • Repeat visits across the week
  • A visit can stay open for coverage
Schedule visits form on a sample client's page: Personal care on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:00 AM from Nov 3 to Nov 26, 2026, with the choice to leave the visit open or assign Grace Whitfield, the client's preferred caregiver.

Visits are scheduled from the client's page, which only signed-in staff can open. Pick the days and the time, then a caregiver, or leave the visit open for coverage. Outbound messages say only Home visit.

Before the visitGrowth plan

Cards the agency records

A visit can require the license or certificate you recorded. A missing or expired card stays off that visit.

  • CNA, HHA, CPR, and nursing cards you keep
  • AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state
Certification types for a sample home care agency, including auto insurance, background check, CNA license, CPR / First Aid, driver's license, and HHA certificate, with requirements by position such as a CNA license for caregivers and an HHA certificate for home health aides.

These are the cards the agency records and the positions that need them. AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state.

Between visitsEvery plan

Mileage the agency sets

The agency sets the mileage rate, the road factor, and whether travel time is paid. This screen does not list clients.

  • No client names or street addresses
  • The amount leaves with the hours export
Travel and visit pay rules for a sample home care agency: hourly plus visit pay, paid travel time between visits, a 0.700 mileage rate, a 1.25 road factor, a 25 mph average speed, and a 10-minute buffer. No client names.

The agency sets these mileage rules. This screen has no client names or street addresses. Amounts leave with the hours export. Outbound messages still say only Home visit.

What signup sets up

AppySchedule and AppyTime are in every plan, from $30 a month. These are the extra tools this industry starts with, the AppyShift module each one is part of, and the plan it needs. You can change them in setup.

Every plan

Visits

The only setup that turns visits on.

AppySchedule

Growth plan

Caregiver cards

The licenses and certificates you record.

AppyOnboard

Outbound privacy

Texts, email, push, and calendar feeds say only Home visit.

AppyConnect

This setup does not turn on tips or census staffing. Certification checks use the cards you record, and can keep someone off a shift when a required card is missing or expired. AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state. Approved hours leave in a payroll export (ADP, Gusto, UKG, Paychex, Paycom, Paylocity, or a CSV). Or run payroll right in AppyShift with AppyPayroll.

Questions from home care agency managers

What this setup does, and what it leaves with you.

Will a text or calendar alert include the client's name or address?

No. Texts, email, push, calendar feeds, and chat alerts say only "Home visit." Client details stay behind sign-in.

Does AppyShift confirm a caregiver's license with the state?

No. License checks use the certifications you record. Your agency decides who can be assigned.
