Questions from care teams
What care homes usually ask before getting started
Is FlowRota suitable for care homes?
Yes. FlowRota is built for shift-based teams and can handle recurring rotas, changing cover, different working patterns and multiple staff roles.
Can I plan day and night shifts?
Yes. You can schedule different shift patterns, including day, evening and night work, and reuse regular rota structures where appropriate.
Can staff submit their availability?
Yes. Staff can keep their availability up to date, and managers can use it while building the rota instead of chasing everyone individually.
Can I manage different care roles and teams?
Yes. You can organise staff by teams, roles and locations while keeping scheduling information together and controlling manager access.
Does FlowRota include staff clock-ins?
Yes. Staff can clock in and out using GPS-based options or a shared on-site terminal, while managers review worked hours and attendance records.
Can staff view the rota on their phones?
Yes. Staff can check shifts and rota changes from their phones using FlowRota on supported mobile devices, so everyone can see the current version.
