Home care payroll software questions start with the paperwork: Handovra works it free
Before an agency buys payroll software, scheduling software or an EVV system, somebody has to write the care plan, the policy manual and the audit checklist. Handovra's free worksheets produce that paperwork from your agency's own figures, and Handovra Pro keeps it: every client, plan, policy and checklist against the record, branded and exportable.
Built for the agency, not the enterprise
Handovra does the paperwork a home care agency actually files (care plans, policies, checklists, handovers) and leaves the billing codes to your biller.
Handovra keeps the paperwork a home care agency lives or dies by
- Every client's care plan, current at every 60-day review. Medicare's conditions of participation have the plan of care reviewed no less often than every 60 days (42 CFR 484.60). Handovra keeps each plan against its client with the review date visible, so the next revision starts from the last one instead of a blank page.
- One policy manual, sized to your services, not a borrowed binder. Surveyors read the manual against what the agency actually does. The policies builder works the manual's shape from your own services and staff count, and Pro keeps every policy with its review history in one place.
- Audit-ready before the surveyor books the visit. A standard survey comes no later than 36 months after the last one (42 CFR 488.730). The compliance checklist works item counts and audit time from your own roster, and Pro keeps each completed checklist as the evidence trail.
The free tools
Three free worksheets, no account: a nursing care plan template worked section by section from the assessment you already hold, a policies-and-procedures builder sized to your agency's services and staff, and a home health agency compliance checklist worked item by item ahead of the survey. Each computes on the page and prints.
- Nursing care plan template: Work a client's care plan from the assessment you hold: problems into goals, goals into interventions, and the visit minutes the plan actually costs per week.
- Policies and procedures for home care agency: Size a home care agency's policy manual from the agency itself: services and core policies into the manual's shape, and the reading load the roster carries.
- Home health agency compliance checklist: Work the agency's self-audit before the surveyor does: sections and items into a checklist, files into a sample, and the audit's true cost in hours.
Handovra Pro
The worksheet answered today's question. Pro keeps the answer: the plan you just worked saved against the client it belongs to, re-opened at the next 60-day review instead of retyped, branded with your agency's logo and exported for the surveyor. Handovra Pro is $49 per month for the whole agency, billed monthly.
