Who we empower every day

By Role

  • Agency Owners – Establish and maintain training programs so your staff meet state requirements and your agency retains compliance.

By Persona

  • Supervisors – Schedule, track and verify caregivers’ training completion, ensure credentials are up-to-date before shifts.
  • Care Managers – Confirm assigned caregivers have the required training for clients’ needs and tasks.
  • Billers/Payroll – Maintain records of training completions for audit and regulatory review.
  • Schedulers – Ensure only trained caregivers are assigned to clients, integrate training status into shift assignment logic.
  • Caregivers – Complete the training, understand the standard of care, document it and apply it daily.
  • On-Call/Backup Coordinators – Verify substitute staff have verified training; train new staff quickly.

Training is not a one-time checkbox: the state expects agencies to maintain documentation of caregiver competence. When your scheduling, staffing and credential-tracking are built into your software platform, you reduce risks of non-compliance and protect service-quality.
