Senior care software built for the compliance and coordination demands of home and residential care
Home care agencies and assisted living operators face a set of operational constraints that generic field service software doesn't address: Electronic Visit Verification mandates, Medicaid billing rules, care plan documentation requirements, and the responsibility of coordinating care for clients who cannot advocate for themselves when something goes wrong. A missed visit isn't a service gap — it's a safeguarding event.
We've built management platforms for regulated service businesses. We understand what an agency administrator needs: a system that keeps caregivers accountable, families informed, billing accurate, and regulators satisfied — without adding administrative overhead that pulls coordinators away from the work that matters.
What we build
Care scheduling and management
Caregiver scheduling with client-caregiver matching based on skills, language, location, and client preference. Recurring visit scheduling with configurable frequencies per care plan. Real-time schedule dashboard showing current visit status — in progress, completed, missed, and late — so coordinators can respond to gaps before a client is left without care. Substitute caregiver assignment when a regular caregiver is unavailable, with automatic client and family notification. Visit history by client and caregiver with duration, tasks completed, and any notes recorded at the visit. Reporting on visit completion rates, missed visits, and late arrivals for supervisor review and quality assurance.
EVV-compliant visit verification
Electronic Visit Verification that meets the 21st Century Cures Act requirements: GPS location capture at check-in and check-out, timestamp recording, service type confirmation, and caregiver identity verification. EVV data formatted for submission to your state's EVV aggregator — whether your state uses an open or closed EVV model. Visit records that capture the six required EVV data points: type of service, individual receiving service, date, location, individual providing service, and start and end time. Exception reporting for visits with EVV data gaps — late check-ins, GPS location mismatches, and manual overrides — so coordinators can investigate before claim submission. Audit-ready EVV records stored against each visit for Medicaid audit response.
Caregiver mobile app
Mobile app for caregivers with GPS-verified check-in and check-out at each visit. Client-specific task checklists that load automatically at arrival — ADL assistance, medication reminders, meal preparation, and any client-specific care tasks from the care plan. Medication reminder prompts with confirmation recording so there's a log of which medications were administered and when. Health observation inputs: vital signs, mood, appetite, and any changes in condition recorded during the visit and visible to coordinators in real time. Incident reporting directly from the app with photo documentation and immediate supervisor notification. Offline mode for areas with poor mobile coverage — data syncs when connectivity returns. Care notes visible to the caregiver before arrival so they walk in prepared.
Family communication portal
Family-facing portal where authorized family members can see visit summaries — when the caregiver arrived, what tasks were completed, and any notes from the visit — without needing to call the agency. Health observation updates visible to family in near-real time so they know about condition changes promptly. Direct messaging between family members and care coordinators with message history stored against the client record. Configurable notification preferences: family members can choose to receive push notifications or emails for visit completions, missed visits, and incident reports. Document access for care plans, assessment reports, and service agreements. Family members outside the local area — a common situation in senior care — get the same view as if they were present.
Medicaid and Medicare billing
Billing workflows built around the specific requirements of Medicaid waiver programs and Medicare home health billing. EVV-verified visit records feed directly into billing so only completed, verified visits generate claims. Authorization tracking per client — units authorized, units used, and units remaining — with alerts before a client's authorization is exhausted. Claim generation in the correct format for your state Medicaid system or Medicare clearinghouse. Remittance advice processing and payment reconciliation. Denial tracking and resubmission workflows for rejected claims. Private pay billing for clients not on Medicaid or Medicare. Reporting on billing by payer, service type, and authorization period for revenue management.
Care plans, incident reporting, and staff management
Care plan management with assessment-driven plan creation, task assignment, and scheduled review dates. Care plan version history so any change is documented with the date, reason, and authorizing staff member. Incident and adverse event reporting with structured documentation workflows: what happened, who was present, what action was taken, and supervisor sign-off. Incident report storage for state licensing and Medicaid audit response. Staff management with caregiver credential tracking — HHA certification, CPR, First Aid, background check status — and expiry date alerts. Caregiver performance tracking: visit completion rate, punctuality, and client and family feedback. New caregiver onboarding document collection and training record management.
Problems we solve for senior care businesses
Care plans and resident records split across paper files and disconnected digital systems
A coordinator pulling together a resident's care plan, medication list, and visit history has to check three places before they can answer a family question. Disconnected records slow down every handover and create gaps that become compliance risks.
Medication administration records tracked on paper, creating compliance and error risk
Paper MAR sheets get missed entries, illegible initials, and are difficult to audit. A missed medication that isn't documented creates a liability. Regulators expect electronic records that show who administered what, when, and that flag omissions in real time.
Family communication about care updates not systematised, causing anxious calls
Family members call the agency every few days to find out if their parent is doing well. Each call takes a coordinator off other work. Without a structured communication channel, families don't know what they don't know -- and that drives anxiety and complaints.
Shift handover information exchanged verbally without documentation
A caregiver finishing a shift tells the incoming caregiver about the resident's condition verbally, in the car park. Critical observations -- a fall risk, a medication reaction, a mood change -- are not recorded. The next caregiver walks in without the context they need.
Billing and funding claims for aged care subsidies requiring manual reconciliation
Billing for government-funded aged care is complex. Incorrect claims are rejected, causing cash flow gaps. Manual reconciliation of subsidies, client contributions, and top-up fees takes days each month and is prone to errors that require time-consuming corrections.
Staffing gaps not visible in advance, leaving rosters filled reactively on the day
When a caregiver calls in sick, the coordinator calls through a list of available staff manually. There is no view of which clients are uncovered, which carers are available, or which substitution maintains care continuity. Reactive rostering leads to rushed placements.
How we work with senior care businesses
We map the current workflow from intake through care delivery to billing -- how residents are assessed, how care plans are created and updated, how visits are scheduled and verified, and how claims are submitted. We document the compliance requirements specific to your state or jurisdiction before designing anything.
We design the data model for residents, care plans, visit records, medication logs, and billing before writing code. Compliance requirements -- EVV data points, MAR record format, funding claim structure -- are built into the architecture from the start, not added later.
We build care management, caregiver mobile app, family portal, and billing as connected modules. You see working software every two weeks. Each module is tested against real care scenarios before the next one starts.
We test EVV data capture, medication logging, billing claim generation, and family portal access against compliance requirements. Integration with state EVV aggregators and billing clearinghouses is tested with real submission formats before launch.
We train coordinators, caregivers, and billing staff. We support the transition from existing paper and digital systems. Post-launch monitoring covers EVV submission success rates, billing claim acceptance, and any workflow adjustments needed after real-world use begins.
What to ask any senior care software team
Care and compliance
Does the system capture all six EVV data points at every visit?
Can care plans be updated and versioned with a documented change history?
Does the medication administration record flag missed entries in real time?
Is the data architecture compliant with HIPAA and relevant aged care regulations?
Family and caregiver experience
Can family members see visit completion and health observations without calling the office?
Does the caregiver app work offline and sync when connectivity returns?
Are incident reports captured at the point of care with immediate supervisor notification?
Billing and delivery
Does the billing module support your state's Medicaid claim format and clearinghouse?
Is the project priced at fixed cost before development starts?
What does post-launch support cover and for how long?

Frequently asked questions
Off-the-shelf home care platforms handle scheduling, EVV, and basic billing for most agencies. Custom software is the right choice when your EVV integration requirements don't fit the platform's supported state aggregators; when you're operating in multiple states with different Medicaid billing rules and need consolidated management; when your care plan documentation requirements — structured assessments, specific outcome measures, or particular regulatory formats — exceed what the platform supports; or when you're building home care management software to sell to other operators. We'll tell you directly if a platform would serve you better. The ongoing maintenance cost of custom software needs to be justified by operational complexity or revenue that a platform can't support.
EVV compliance requires capturing six data points at every visit: service type, client identity, date, location, caregiver identity, and visit start and end times. Our caregiver mobile app captures GPS location and timestamps at check-in and check-out, and records caregiver and client identity at the point of service. The data is stored in audit-ready format and exported in the format required by your state's EVV aggregator. States use different aggregator systems and different data transmission methods — we scope the specific integration requirements for your state during discovery. If your state uses an open model where you submit to an aggregator, we build that integration. If your state uses a closed model with a mandated vendor, we build the data export that feeds their system.
Yes. Family members who live far from an aging parent are often the decision-makers paying for care but the last people to know when something changes. A family portal that surfaces visit completion confirmations, health observation notes, and incident notifications in near-real time closes that gap. The design challenge is the permission model: different family members may need different levels of access — an adult child managing finances sees billing; a sibling in another state needs visit summaries and health updates; a healthcare proxy needs care plan access. We design the access control structure during discovery based on the family scenarios your clients actually present. The goal is giving families confidence without creating a channel that generates more coordinator phone calls.
A focused scheduling and EVV compliance system with a caregiver mobile app typically runs $40,000–$70,000. A full platform with scheduling, EVV, caregiver app, family portal, Medicaid billing, care plan management, and incident reporting typically runs $80,000–$150,000. Cost depends on the number of states you operate in, payer mix complexity, EVV aggregator integration requirements, and the depth of care plan documentation workflows. We scope every project before pricing it — fixed cost, agreed before development starts, no hourly billing.
