Care software for home care services

Designed around the care round, not scaled down from a corporate system – for services with five to thirty staff.

Built for small services, not scaled down for corporations

Software for home care is usually designed for large providers and then stripped down for small services. What remains is a system full of features nobody needs and an introduction that takes weeks.

Our approach is the other way round: we started with the care round – visit, vehicle, proof of service (Leistungsnachweis) – and left out everything a service with five or fifteen staff does not need.

What is included

Care rounds and duty roster

Shifts, rounds with stops, vehicle booking. In the morning, the care worker sees their own working day, not the whole team's.

Documentation at the bedside

Sign off medication administration (“not given” only with a reason), write or dictate care reports (speech recognition on our own server), arrival and departure for each visit, proof of service signed by the client on the phone, wound documentation with photo and progress, care plan, shift handover and risk assessment (Braden, falls) – even without a network connection. Plus vital signs and events. More under Documentation at the bedside.

Proof of service and reports

Proof of service per patient and period, reports for the long-term care insurance fund (Pflegekasse). More under Proof of service.

Access for relatives

Relatives see visits and findings for the person they look after – without administrative rights. That saves you phone calls.

Sensors

Falls, smoke, bed exit and room climate as findings with a traffic light, not as columns of figures. See Fall sensor.

Access rights per person

Who can see which patients is set per account and checked on the server – not just in the display.

The modules in detail

Route planning for home care services

Rounds with stops per care worker, suggested visit order, distance and travel time per stop, vehicle per round. The care worker sees their round under “My shift” and records arrival and departure with a tap.

Duty roster for home care services

Shifts, absences and qualifications; working time with clock-in and clock-out and marking of night, weekend and public holiday work.

Care documentation via app

Medication administration, care reports with speech recognition, wound documentation with photo, Braden scale and fall risk, care plan and shift handover – right at the client's side, even without a network connection.

Digital care records and medication management

Patient record with care level, long-term care insurance fund, doctors and documents; medication plan with dosage and times of intake, alongside the doses actually documented.

Billing under SGB XI

Service packages (Leistungskomplexe), time-based billing, flat rates, relief allowance under § 45b with carry-over, proof of service signed by the client. More under Billing under SGB XI.

Find care companions

Through the Meeting Point you can find everyday companions and support workers who take the load off your care workers.

What we cannot do

So that you are not disappointed after two weeks:

Frequently asked questions from home care services

How many staff is it designed for?

For small services – from sole practitioners to around 30 staff. Large providers cover the upper end; we do not compete there.

Can relatives read along?

Yes, and that is the difference. Relatives get their own access for exactly the person they look after – they see visits and findings, without administrative rights.

Is billing under SGB XI included?

Proof of service and reports for the long-term care insurance fund are included, see Billing under SGB XI and Proof of service. Remuneration rates are specific to each federal state and must be entered.

What changes in billing in 2027?

From 1 October 2027, home care services bill services under SGB XI electronically via the telematics infrastructure (TI), with an electronic proof of service via KIM. Until 30 September 2027, files and paper records are still permitted. Proof of service signed by the client on the phone is already available; we do not yet offer data exchange with the insurance funds via the TI.

Where is the data stored?

On a server in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main. The data does not leave Germany. Details in the privacy policy.

Can I try it out?

Yes, with demo data and no real patient data. Get in touch and we will set up access for you.

Note. This page explains the procedure in general terms and does not replace legal or care advice. Amounts and point values reflect the situation as of 2025 and are taken from the legal basis cited in each case. The binding decision is always made by your long-term care insurance fund (Pflegekasse). Free and independent advice is available from your local care support centre (Pflegestützpunkt) and from care counselling under § 7a SGB XI.
