Everything You Need to Know About Our App

Our intuitive automated shift filling software helps your long-term care facility fill open shifts more efficiently, boosts productivity, and relieves stress for employees. With Caring Hands, your employees can get back to doing what they were meant to – providing the best possible care for their patients.

How Caring Hands Helps Long Term Care Homes, Administrators, and Charge Nurses

With our technology, you can connect with all of your staff at once using multiple notification options. caringhands4u allows you to cover shift requests in seconds, as well as create shift requests from anywhere, at any time. Here’s what customers love about Caring Hands:

Save Time

Time is a precious resource in long-term care and senior care homes, where the average resident to staff ratio is 8 to 1 staff average ratio during the day, and 32 to 1 at night.

Care homes may get several sick calls in a single day. Normally when an employee calls in sick or misses their shift, the whole team is affected. The scheduling manager or supervisor on duty has to call a list of people to see who can cover, and the other caregivers have to take on extra duties while they wait for a replacement.

Caring Hands allows teams to bounce back quicker from unexpected schedule changes by automating the shift-filling process. You can post an available shift in seconds, and let the technology do the rest. All available employees will be notified automatically via text, email, phone call, or notification via the app and they can respond automatically too. That means more shifts covered, faster.

Nurses and administrators spend less time making phone calls to fill last-minute shifts. If they’re not worrying about filling shifts, they can focus on caring for patients. We did the math, across the board, Caring Hands customers have saved a combined 459,900 hours annually on scheduling!

Boost Employee Morale

Our customers report that using Caring Hands has led to increased staff engagement and morale in their organization. There are a few reasons for that. Caring Hands is more convenient for employees since they get notifications via their preferred methods of communication.

Communication is improved because everything is documented within the platform. Your staff can see their schedule online or the app at any time, so there are fewer miscommunications about shift changes. Good communication is the first step to happier teams.

Also, employees like being empowered to handle shift-filling independently. With Caring Hands, they can pick up shifts in seconds.

Save Money

Time is money, which means every hour saved is money that can go back into your organization. Not only that, but Caring Hands collects ongoing data that will help you spot trends and predict your shift needs over time.

Caring Hands Predictive Posting™ AI analyzes historical scheduling patterns for past open shifts and anticipates your staffing needs. This means you can spot scheduling inefficiencies, see where you’re overscheduling or experiencing gaps, and plan ahead for crunch times and seasonal slumps.

With an accurate picture of your staffing needs, you schedule more effectively and decrease overtime. Of course, higher morale means lower turnover, which means money saved on recruitments, onboarding, training, and downtime.
