Log my Care: The ultimate rostering solution

At Log my Care, we believe rostering should be more than simply scheduling shifts and visits. It should be powerful, effortless, effective, simple—and most importantly—it should be seamlessly integrated with your care management system.

‍

For over five years, we’ve been dedicated to refining our care management software to support the unique needs of the care sector. During this journey, rostering has emerged as the most requested enhancement from our community. Backed by our investors and with invaluable insights from our beta community—a group of care professionals who live and breathe rostering every day—we’ve designed a solution that does more than just manage schedules. Log my Care’s rostering add-on has been built from the ground up to support person-centred care and simplify operations, making it the ultimate tool for rota managers across the care spectrum.

Built with real rota managers in mind

From the discovery phase through development, we collaborated with around ten care services to create a system that directly addresses the real challenges faced by rota managers. Our team listened, iterated, and refined every feature, ensuring the system is intuitive and responsive. The result? A tool that works the way care professionals need it to, delivering guidance when needed while allowing quick, flexible actions. Managers can allocate multiple visits to a carer who has previously established relationships with certain service users, taking only seconds to build a consistent rota that supports continuity of care.

Effortless rota building and publishing

With Log my Care’s rota builder, creating a rota is easier than ever. We recommend starting with the individual needs and preferences of service users, including their care packages, funding types, visit patterns, and specific preferences. From here, rota managers can tailor the rota to reflect service users’ requirements while also aligning with carers’ contracted hours, availability, and skills. A new ‘contract and preferences’ screen captures carers’ working hours and preferred shifts, so managers know precisely when a carer is available and when they prefer not to work—making the process of rota creation seamless and error-free.

The rota builder offers a “safe draft” mode, allowing managers to build, adjust, and perfect the rota before publishing it to the care team. Once the rota is finalised, managers can publish it with one click, instantly notifying carers of their shifts and visits. This thoughtful workflow minimises mistakes, saves time, and supports the consistent delivery of high-quality care.

Precision matching for continuity of care

Log my Care’s rostering add-on is designed to optimise continuity by matching carers to service users based on skills, past interactions, and availability. With the allocation window, rota managers can quickly assess each carer’s suitability for a shift by viewing their availability, skills, and existing relationships with service users. This functionality ensures that the right person is matched to the right role, every time, creating a person-centred experience that builds trust and familiarity.

Moreover, our matching tools surface continuity metrics, highlighting carers who have supported a particular service user regularly, thereby enhancing care consistency. This means that service users receive support from carers who understand their needs, while rota managers have confidence that their schedules promote stable, reliable care.

Real-time monitoring and error prevention

Our system is equipped with a monitoring dashboard that provides real-time insights into rota statuses, including warnings and flags to alert managers of potential issues, such as double bookings or mismatched skills. This feature enables rota managers to proactively address any discrepancies, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. With error notifications built directly into the rota builder, managers can quickly resolve issues before publishing, reducing the likelihood of last-minute schedule changes and reinforcing continuity for service users.

Flexibility across the spectrum of care

Log my Care’s rostering add-on supports the entire range of care settings—whether it’s for shift-based rotas in care homes or visit-based scheduling in domiciliary and supported living environments. This flexibility is key for care providers that offer diverse services, enabling them to build schedules that align with the unique demands of each care setting without the need for multiple systems. By providing an adaptable, all-in-one solution, Log my Care makes it easy to manage complex scheduling requirements and ensure care delivery across different environments.
