Census changed overnight
The unit is fuller than the schedule, and the target is on a whiteboard.
For long-term care and assisted living
Census and a staffing target for each unit.
Long-term care publishes units, records the resident census, and sets a staffing target beside who is scheduled. Nursing license checks use the cards you record. Home visits stay off.

- Coverage without a phone tree
- Hours leave in the payroll export
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.
Resident census
A census figure for each unit.
Staffing targets
The target you set, next to who is scheduled.
Nursing license checks
From the cards you record.
Callout coverage
An open shift on the unit, under your approval rule.
Home visits are not part of this setup. AppyShift does not decide a staffing ratio. You set the target. 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 long-term care managers
What this setup does, and what it leaves with you.
Does AppyShift decide a staffing ratio?
No. You record the resident census and the staffing target for each unit. AppyShift shows who is scheduled next to that target.
Does long-term care include home visits?
No. Home visits are a separate setup. This one is units, census, and license checks.
Scheduling and time for care units
Publish units, cover a callout, and export hours. Census and staffing targets are what this setup adds.
