How does location-based matching work?

The system considers carer proximity to client locations when sending offers, ensuring efficient travel and faster response times.

What happens if a carer can't complete a visit?

The system immediately notifies you and can automatically send new offers to other available carers in the area.

Do you support different visit types?

Yes, we support all types of domiciliary care visits including personal care, medication support, companionship, and specialist care.

How do GPS timesheets work?

Carers check in and out using their mobile device's GPS location, providing verified start and end times for accurate billing.
