The Hidden Risks of Inefficient Home Care Scheduling
Poor scheduling isn’t just inconvenient—it carries risk. This video outlines the dangers: increased caregiver travel, longer response times, missed visits, higher overtime costs, caregiver dissatisfaction, and ultimately client churn. In home care, scheduling inefficiency can erode margins and reputation. For instance, manual scheduling and haphazard routing increase errors and costs.

- Finance Controller — Monitors cost impacts of inefficient scheduling: travel, overtime, missed shifts, unbilled hours.
- Operations Lead — Fixes process bottlenecks and ensures scheduling matches client demand accurately.
By Persona
- The Agency Owner Wanting Resilience — Needs awareness of scheduling risks and a platform to mitigate them before they hit.
