Shift Swap Requests

When a caregiver can't make a shift, they can request to swap with another available caregiver directly through AveeCare. Office staff can review and approve the swap without manual rescheduling.

How shift swaps work

  • Caregiver initiates a swap request from their app or portal
  • System shows other caregivers available during that time slot
  • Requesting caregiver selects a preferred swap partner
  • Office admin receives the swap request for approval
  • Once approved, the calendar updates automatically
  • Both caregivers receive confirmation notifications

Shift Extension Requests

Sometimes visits run longer than planned. AveeCare lets caregivers request shift extensions with an approval workflow so office staff maintain oversight while keeping care flexible.

Caregiver Side

  • Request a time extension from the mobile app during an active visit
  • Specify the additional time needed and provide a reason
  • Continue providing care while the request is pending
  • Receive instant notification when the request is approved or denied

Admin Side

  • Receive real-time notification when an extension is requested
  • See the caregiver's current visit details and reason for extension
  • Check for scheduling conflicts with the caregiver's next visit
  • Approve or deny with one click — the visit updates automatically

Open Shift Broadcasting

When a shift needs to be filled, broadcast it to all available caregivers. The first to accept gets the assignment. No more calling down a list of phone numbers.

How broadcasting works

  • Mark any unassigned or cancelled visit as an open shift
  • AveeCare sends push notifications to all available caregivers
  • Caregivers see the visit details, patient, and time in the notification
  • First caregiver to accept is assigned automatically
  • Office staff can restrict broadcasts by skills or geography
  • Shift is removed from broadcast once filled
Pro tip: Broadcasting is the fastest way to fill last-minute cancellations. Caregivers receive instant push notifications on their phones and can accept shifts in seconds.

Time-Off Request Management

Caregivers can submit time-off requests directly through AveeCare. Office staff review, approve, and the system automatically blocks those dates from scheduling.

Submit Requests

Caregivers submit time-off requests with dates, reason, and any notes. Requests can be for single days or date ranges.

Review & Approve

Office admin reviews pending requests, sees any scheduling conflicts that would result, and approves or denies.

Auto-Block Scheduling

Approved time-off automatically blocks those dates in the caregiver's availability. Conflict warnings appear if visits exist.

If a caregiver has existing visits during their requested time off, AveeCare will flag those visits so you can reassign them before approving the request.

No-Show Detection & Handling

AveeCare automatically detects when a caregiver hasn't clocked in for a scheduled visit and flags it as a potential no-show. Configurable time thresholds and automated alerts keep you informed in real time.

Detection and response

  • Configurable grace period before a visit is flagged (default: 15 minutes)
  • Real-time alerts to office staff when a caregiver is late
  • Automatic push notification sent to the late caregiver
  • Option to broadcast the shift to other available caregivers
  • Visit status updates to "Late" for tracking and reporting
  • No-show history tracked per caregiver for performance reviews
No-Show Alert Example
