Draco Staff Development is a community collaboration: staff records, training, certifications, scheduling and Title 22 compliance for skilled nursing facilities, in one secure platform. Free for every facility, open to everyone, and built by volunteers who want the work to be easier.
Compliance work is mostly paperwork about work you have already done. Draco does that part. Watch a certified nurse assistant's two-year renewal go from coming-due to filed with CDPH — the packet builds itself from records you already keep, and the platform files it for you.
Your organisation’s administrator adds your staff, and can give any staff login access to training records and CNA renewals.
Renewal packets, including the CDPH 283A, are assembled automatically by software written with AI coding tools.
Simulated data — every name, date and number in the film is invented for the demonstration. No certified nurse assistant's records appear in it.
Each function has a clear home, so anyone on your team can find what they need at a glance.
One living grid of every employee against every mandated requirement — colour-coded, filterable, and always survey-ready.
The whole team in one searchable record: titles, departments, credentials, documents, and health screening.
Plan, assign, and evidence in-services and continuing education across the year.
Build and publish staff schedules that fit the realities of a 24/7 care community.
The forms, letters, and regulatory library your team reaches for, kept current and searchable.
Day-to-day records turned into the documents leadership and surveyors actually ask for.
Draco does not ask you to invent a compliance checklist. It ships with the one California skilled nursing and residential care facilities are actually held to — every item carrying its own citation, and scored separately for each licence because the two are not the same rulebook.
Citations are drawn from the bodies that actually inspect you:
Skilled nursing and assisted living teams are busy, hands-on, and not always comfortable with new software. Draco is built to feel obvious — so the platform is a genuine help, never another chore.
Every mandated item a California skilled nursing or residential care community is held to, each carrying its own citation and scored against the right licence — plus the letters, forms, and reports those facilities rely on.
No two communities run the same way. As your organisation’s administrator you set Draco up around the way your facility actually works — and because it is open source, anything it does not do yet can be built by the project’s volunteers, or by anyone else.
Configure your requirement set, your job titles and departments, your licence types, and your letterhead — so the screens your staff open reflect the way your community actually operates.
Reports, forms, letters, evaluation templates, matrix requirements, reminder schedules — all of it is open-source code under the AGPL-3.0 licence. Suggest a change and volunteers pick it up as time allows, or have a developer make it for you.
Draco integrates directly with online learning platforms, so course completions become compliance evidence without anyone re-keying them. Records arrive on their own, post themselves against the right requirement, and carry their certificates into the packets you file.
Draco integrates with Relias and other LMS platforms to import training automatically, so in-person in-services, online courses and certifications sit together in one record per employee. Relias completions arrive automatically every night; nothing is typed twice, and the certificate that reaches the State is the authentic one your provider issued — not a look-alike regenerated after the fact.
Employee records include sensitive, confidential information. Draco treats security as a first-class requirement at every layer of the platform.
Each tenant company’s operational data lives in its own database, so separation isn’t a setting to configure — it’s built into the architecture.
Draco Staff Development is a free, open-source, community-built staff management platform for skilled nursing facilities and the Directors of Staff Development who run them: staff members, trainings, certifications, scheduling and Title 22 compliance in one place. Anyone can create an account, set up their organisation and start using it — there is no subscription and no card. The platform was developed with AI coding tools, and it is built, maintained and updated by volunteer developers and AI coding bots. It is licensed under the AGPL-3.0.
