Census changed overnight
The unit is fuller than the schedule, and the count is on a whiteboard.
For long-term care and assisted living
Census for each unit. Nursing cards you record.
Long-term care records how many residents each unit has, and keeps CNA, LPN, and RN cards on file. Home visits stay off. You set the staffing target.

Someone is assigned with a card that is no longer current.
The wrong product for the building
Home-visit tools do not match a facility day.
One week in AppyShift
The same week, with this industry's tools
Each screen is a real AppyShift page from a sample company, showing a tool this industry turns on.
Each day
Resident census by unit
Enter how many residents each unit has. You set the staffing target beside that count.
- Census for the whole facility and each unit
- You set the target. Home visits stay off
The facility records how many residents each unit has. You set the staffing target. AppyShift does not decide a ratio. Home visits stay off.
Beside the census
The staffing target you set
The target is your number: hours per resident day, or one person for every so many residents. AppyShift does not decide it.
- Whole facility, skilled nursing, and memory care in this sample
- State rules stay with the facility
These are the targets the facility entered. AppyShift does not decide a staffing ratio. The screen tells you to check your state's rules and enter what you need.
Before the shift
Nursing cards you record
A shift can require the license or certification you recorded. A missing or expired card stays off that shift.
- CNA, LPN, RN, and medication aide cards
- AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state
These are the nursing cards the facility records. AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state.
Turned on for this industry
What signup sets up
Scheduling, time, messages, and callout coverage are available to every company. These are the extra tools this industry starts with. You can change them in setup.
Resident census
A census figure for each unit. The only setup that turns this on.
Staffing targets
The target you set, next to who is scheduled.
Nursing cards
From the cards you record. Not a state lookup.
Home visits are not part of this setup. AppyShift does not decide a staffing ratio. You set the target. Certification checks use the cards you record, and can keep someone off a shift when a required card is missing or expired. AppyShift does not confirm a license with the state. Approved hours leave in a payroll export (ADP, Gusto, UKG, Paychex, Paycom, Paylocity, or a CSV). AppyShift does not run payroll.

Questions from long-term care managers
What this setup does, and what it leaves with you.
Does AppyShift decide a staffing ratio?
No. You record the resident census and the staffing target for each unit. AppyShift shows who is scheduled next to that target.
Does long-term care include home visits?
No. Home visits are a separate setup. This one is units, census, and license checks.
Scheduling and time for care units
Publish units, cover a callout, and export hours. Census and staffing targets are what this setup adds.
Employee Scheduling
AppyShift helps managers organize shifts, plan paid and unpaid breaks, publish schedules, collect availability, and connect the published plan to actual labor, attendance, demand, output, and shift feedback.
