Real-Time Control for Home Care Operations

Managing home care means handling a constant stream of individual tasks — from personal care and medication reminders to wellness checks, cleaning assistance, and documentation. Every caregiver’s day is filled with dozens of small but critical actions that must happen at the right time, in the right place, and be properly recorded. Missing even one task can impact a client’s health or cause compliance issues.

With Shifton Field Service, every visit becomes a structured task list that ensures nothing is forgotten. Each caregiver receives detailed task instructions on their mobile device — including location, care-plan notes, required actions, and client preferences. When a task starts, Shifton automatically logs arrival time, and when it’s completed, the caregiver confirms it with notes, photos, or a client signature.

Supervisors can see task progress in real time: which are in progress, delayed, or completed. Urgent tasks can be reassigned instantly if a caregiver is running late or unavailable. Managers also get full traceability — who completed which task, how long it took, and whether all steps were followed according to the care plan.

A focused field-service toolkit for visit notes, ADL checklists, EVV, and incident reports. Give coordinators, nurses, and caregivers the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

Mobile Access
All the work is in your pocket. Caregivers start the workday with one tap, mark tasks and care-plan steps, record notes/vitals, and receive notifications on the phone. No Excel files or paperwork — everything in one app.
