Caregivers can set their availability windows and block off time when they're unavailable. Schedulers see this in real time when assigning shifts, preventing double-booking and scheduling conflicts.

Availability Windows

Blocked Time

  • Block full days or time ranges
  • Add reason for the block
  • Visible to schedulers instantly

Shift Swaps & Extensions

When caregivers need schedule changes, AveeCare handles the workflow. Shift swaps and extensions go through an approval process so management stays in control while giving caregivers flexibility.

Shift Swap Requests

  • Caregiver initiates a swap request from their app
  • Select another qualified caregiver to swap with
  • Both caregivers must confirm the swap
  • Manager receives approval request with full details
  • Schedule updates automatically after approval

Shift Extension Requests

  • Request additional time beyond scheduled end
  • Include reason for the extension
  • Manager approves or denies with one click
  • Payroll automatically adjusts for approved extensions
  • Patient is notified of schedule changes

Open Shift Broadcasting

When a shift needs to be filled, broadcast it to all available caregivers. Qualified caregivers receive a notification and can claim the shift from their mobile app, eliminating the need for phone calls.

How broadcasting works

  • Create an open shift with date, time, and patient details
  • System automatically identifies available and qualified caregivers
  • Push notification sent to all eligible caregivers
  • First caregiver to accept gets the assignment
  • Schedule updates and all other caregivers are notified
Pro tip: Broadcasting considers caregiver certifications, availability, and proximity to the patient when filtering eligible caregivers.

Time-Off Request Management

Submit Requests

Caregivers submit time-off requests from their mobile app with start/end dates and reason. No phone calls or texts needed.

Approve or Deny

Managers review requests with full schedule context — see what shifts are affected and which caregivers can cover before deciding.

Auto-Update Schedule

Approved time-off automatically blocks the caregiver's schedule and flags affected visits for reassignment.

When a time-off request is approved for a caregiver with existing shifts, AveeCare automatically flags those shifts as needing coverage and can broadcast them as open shifts.

Calendar View

The Calendar tab on each caregiver's profile shows a monthly view of all their assignments, availability windows, blocked time, and approved time-off. Everything in one visual timeline.

  • Monthly calendar with day, week, and month views
  • Color-coded events: visits, availability, time-off, blocked time
  • Click any event to see full details
  • Drag and drop to reschedule visits (with confirmation)
  • Export calendar data for external scheduling tools
