Summary
Scheduling is one of the strongest determinants of providing quality care within the senior care industry. It is the responsibility of the home care agency Scheduler to oversee the staffing of in-home care client cases. The Scheduler monitors the on-time arrivals of Caregivers and re-routing and/or re-staffing of cases, if needed. The Scheduler makes notes daily for clients and employees when needed (change in hours, complaints, or praises, updating level of care, etc.). Schedulers may act as a back-up to answer incoming calls in the office. We combine professional care management, training, and counseling to deliver superior services to older adults, their families, and the professionals involved in their care.
