Your own app for home care agencies

The home care app — notes get written at the client's, not at the office at night.

At 2:00 PM the shift changes: seven items carried in someone's head, five callbacks in the evening. Your own app carries both — the notes are written during the visit, the next shift reads them, and families know what happened without calling the office.

“Does Mrs. Bennett have enough left for tomorrow morning?”
“Is the shower chair in there or not?”
“Who is going with her to the doctor on Tuesday?”
“What do I tell the Ellis family?”
“Who took key #3?”

Five calls an evening do not happen out of carelessness — they happen because the knowledge sits with someone whose shift ended hours ago.

Scene: notes at the living-room table8:20 AM

Until evening, nobody but her knows what is on that sheet of paper.

That is exactly where the app starts: the tasks are checked off while the caregiver is still standing in the apartment — at 2:00 PM the afternoon shift reads along, and in the evening nobody has to chase anyone by phone. The care itself stays handwork.

From the field

What an app in home care actually changes.

Two moments cost a home care agency time every single day, and neither has much to do with care: the handoff at 2:00 PM and the notes in the evening. In the handoff, seven items get told from memory; later somebody sits at the office and types up what was on scraps of paper and in people's heads all day. That is where an app of your own starts — and nowhere else.

3 instead of 25minutes for the handoff at 2:00 PM
5 → 0evening callbacks, because it is all in the system
38 minutesless catch-up work per shift — with 12 routes a day

Why the handoff is the most expensive moment of the day

Seven items is a realistic Wednesday: a dressing that was changed, a pill organizer running low, a shower chair in the bathroom, a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, a family that keeps calling, the missing key #3 and a client who is eating less. At the table that takes 25 minutes, because every item gets told, questioned and explained a second time. Written down, the afternoon shift reads the same thing in three minutes — and only asks where a question is really needed.

The second effect shows up at half past seven in the evening. Five callbacks a day do not happen out of carelessness, but because the knowledge sits in the head of a colleague whose shift ended hours ago: does she still have pills for tomorrow? Who has the key? What do I tell the family? Every one of those calls interrupts two shifts at once. With the items in the system, none of them is left.

A handoff is not a memory exercise — it is a list.

Notes at the client's home instead of at the office at night

Let us use the numbers agencies report after the switch: about 38 minutes per shift that nobody has to catch up on, because the tasks are checked off right in the apartment. With twelve routes a day that is roughly 7.6 hours, spread across the whole team. That is not magic, it is moved work: what used to pile up afterward — often as overtime, sometimes unpaid — now happens in the two minutes at the end of the visit.

For the office the question changes with it. Instead of calling around all afternoon to find out which route got how far, Ms. Wallace sees on one screen which visits are documented and where something is still open. And families get a short update after every visit — about 19 a week that would otherwise have landed as callbacks at the office. That is the part family members notice fastest.

What the app cannot do — and what it must not do

It does not replace your care documentation. Your requirements stay exactly as they are; the app is the path the entries take from the client's home into your existing system, wherever there is an interface for it. It does not assess anything either: if a client has been eating less for two days, the app notes it and reports it to the office. What follows from that is still decided by a nurse — the app is no substitute for clinical judgment or medical advice.

And it does not hire anyone. If two caregivers are missing, they are missing with an app too. What changes is the time around it: less searching, fewer callbacks, less entered twice. Health information is visible only to the roles that need it — family members see visit times and a short update, not the care notes. It takes two weeks until the first version is in the stores, and from $4,000 that is not a trial version but a full app under your agency's name.

How long does a handoff take at your agency — and how often does the on-call phone ring afterward? Tell us, and we will run the numbers with yours.

≈ 7.6 hours a day that nobody has to catch up on at night.

On top of that come the five evening callbacks that disappear because the handoff is in the system — and families who no longer have to ask the office whether anybody was there.

We used to talk for twenty-five minutes at the table and still made calls at night. Now the afternoon shift reads the items and only asks about what is really open.

I know somebody was there1 month ago

After every visit to my mother a short message comes in with the time. I do not have to call the office anymore and pull someone away from their work.

05Behind the studio

Who actually builds your app?

No off-the-shelf builder, no chain of anonymous contractors: an owner-run development studio that designs, codes and looks after apps for home care agencies itself.

20 yrs web · 8 yrs apps 6 apps of our own iOS · Android · web Fixed price in writing

Have a nice day — an owner-run development studio: the person you deal with is the developer himself.

We are in the stores ourselvesWe publish and operate our own apps — you can see which ones further up. Going through store review month after month teaches you what really matters.
Everything under one roofConcept, design, code, store submission and day-to-day operation — nothing is handed to subcontractors or shipped offshore. If it says Have a nice day, Have a nice day did the work.
You talk to the developerAt the other end sits the person who actually writes your app. No ticket system, no call center — in German, English or Russian.
More than 20 years of experienceOver 20 years of web development and 8 years of apps for iOS and Android — the ones in the stores above are the latest result of that work.
A fixed price before we startWhat the project costs is agreed in writing before the first line of code exists. No surprises from a timesheet.
Speed from modern toolingWe work with current technology and AI assistance. That is why we measure projects in weeks rather than quarters and stay below what agencies charge — every single line still gets reviewed by us.

06The road to your app

From a conversation to your app in the stores.

A short conversation: how many routes, how the handoff runs, which documentation system you use. That is all we need from you.

2

You get a proposal and a fixed price

Concrete and readable: what the app does, who sees which role, what it costs — in writing.

3

07Set packages, set prices

What does it all cost?

There is no hourly billing and nothing added on afterwards: you choose a package, you get a fixed price for it, and you know in advance what is included. Even Start is a complete app — the larger packages add features and deeper technology, not better quality.

Included everywhere: App Store, Google Play and the browser — along with hosting, updates and support. The only difference is the feature set.

from $199 / month

  • We build it, run it and maintain it; you pay monthly
  • Updates, new features and support are part of it
  • The source code stays with us at first and becomes yours once it is paid off in full

Depending on the feature set, projects land between $4,000 and roughly $30,000 — how far your app goes is your call. We name the fixed price after a short conversation, free and without obligation.

The three packages are typical sizes; anything in between is possible too. The math: base package $4,000, each additional module about +$900, each connection to an existing system about +$2,500. The shows what every single feature costs.

Where do the speed and the price come from? We work with current tooling, AI included — the time we save goes back into the price, the care stays handmade.
