The visit list is a spreadsheet
Who is going where lives in a file the caregiver cannot open from the car.
For home care and home health
Visits on the schedule. The text says only "Home visit."
Caregivers see their visits, clock in at the home, and record travel time and mileage. License checks use the cards you record. Texts, email, push, and calendar feeds say only "Home visit."

The week before AppyShift
What home care managers are juggling
Mileage on a napkin
Travel time is argued at the end of the week.
A name in a text
A schedule alert should not carry a client name or address outside the app.
One week in AppyShift
The same week, with this industry's tools
Monday
Publish the visits
Each caregiver sees their visits. Client details stay behind sign-in.
- Teams, branches, and roles
- The visit is the unit of the day
At the home
Clock in, travel, and mileage
Clock-in is at the client's home. Travel time and mileage are part of the visit, not a separate spreadsheet.
- Clock-in at the home
- Travel time and mileage on the visit
Before the visit
Caregiver license checks
A visit can require the license or certification you recorded.
- Missing or expired cards stay off that visit
- AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state
Every alert
Outbound messages say "Home visit"
Texts, email, push, calendar feeds, and chat alerts do not include the client name or address.
- The words outside the app are "Home visit"
- Names and addresses stay behind sign-in
Turned on for this industry
What signup sets up
Scheduling, time, messages, and callout coverage are available to every company. These are the extra tools this industry starts with. You can change them in setup.
Client records and visits
The only setup that turns visits on.
Clock-in at the home
The visit has a place and a time.
Travel and mileage
Recorded with the visit.
License checks
Caregiver cards you record.
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). AppyShift does not run payroll.

Questions from home care 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.
Scheduling and time for visit teams
Publish the week, cover a callout, and export hours. Visits, mileage, and license checks are what this setup adds.
