Does caregiver scheduling software track credentials and block assignments when one expires?
Credential tracking with expiry alerts is common; a hard block on assigning a caregiver with a lapsed required credential is less common.
Answer. Credential tracking with expiry alerts is common; a hard block on assigning a caregiver with a lapsed required credential is less common, and on some platforms it is a setting. Caregiver Scheduling tracks credentials and blocks the assignment on Growth and up, and state requirements such as California’s Live Scan and Home Care Aide registration can be set as required documents.

How Caregiver Scheduling does it
Required documents are set by state and shift type. Caregivers upload them from the app, the office verifies them, and reminders go out before expiry. A caregiver with a missing or expired document can’t be put on a shift until it’s cleared. $199 a month for up to 10 caregivers on Starter, $299 for up to 50 on Growth, 30-day free trial.
