The Platform

Everything your facility needs to stay survey-ready

Replace the binders and spreadsheets with one connected system — purpose-built for the realities of long-term care.

Compliance Tracking

Physicals, TB tests, evaluations, and required in-services tracked in real time, with color-coded status and automatic reminders before anything lapses.

Training & Continuing Education

Assign, deliver, and document training, CNA programs, and annual in-services — complete with certificates and a permanent training record per employee.

License Verification

Automated CNA and nurse license checks with renewal-cycle tracking, so every credential on your roster stays current and audit-ready.

Scheduling & In-Service Calendar

Plan the annual in-service calendar, manage clinical schedules, and keep the whole team aligned on what's required and when.

Reports & Audit Readiness

One click produces the documentation surveyors ask for — compliance summaries, training histories, and license verifications, ready to print or share.

Staff Communications

Reach your team by email and opt-in SMS for shift reminders, compliance notices, and important facility updates — all from one place.
