Answer. Route optimization (ordering a caregiver’s visits to cut drive time, with directions) is offered by only a few home care platforms; more of them match caregivers to shifts by distance without ordering the day. Ask whether it re-sequences when a visit moves. Caregiver Scheduling includes it: each caregiver’s day is put in an efficient order and redrawn when the schedule changes.

How Caregiver Scheduling does it
Drive times come from a mapping service and account for the time of day, and the order updates when you drag a visit. Caregivers see the day in route order with directions to the next client in one tap. $199 a month for up to 10 caregivers on Starter, $299 for up to 50 on Growth, 30-day free trial.
