Telephony Home Care Scheduling Services
Voice telephony integration for inbound caregiver and family calls. RingCentral, Nextiva, Dialpad, and 8×8 supported. Every call logged, every shift confirmed.
0:55
0:48Your phone tree is breaking after hours . Calls go to voicemail. Visits go unfilled.
Three phone-system failures repeat themselves week after week inside home care agencies in NJ, NY, FL, and CA. None of them are software problems. All of them are scheduler-coverage problems plugged into a phone system that nobody is answering.
Call routing fails after hours
The 21st Century Cures Act 12006(a) requires EVV for Medicaid personal care and home health services (CMS Medicaid.gov). When the on-call line drops or routes wrong at 9 PM, a missed visit becomes a missed EVV entry.
Voicemail backlog grows daily
FCC data shows U.S. consumers received an estimated 50 billion robocalls in 2022 alone (FCC Robocalls). Real caregiver and family voicemails sit inside that noise and routinely get returned days late.
No recording for QA
The HIPAA Security Rule at 45 CFR 164.312(b) requires audit controls on systems with PHI (HHS.gov). Without phone-system recording tied to the scheduler workflow, you cannot prove what was said on the call-out call.

What is telephony-integrated home care scheduling ?
Telephony-integrated home care scheduling is a remote scheduling team plugged directly into your VoIP phone system. The schedulers see incoming calls live on screen. They answer in your agency name. The call is recorded inside your phone system. Every call links to the shift it produced inside HHAeXchange, AlayaCare, MatrixCare, AxisCare, or WellSky. Nothing lives in a separate dialer.
What telephony-integrated scheduling actually handles
Every inbound call gets answered. Every outbound call gets logged. Every shift confirmation gets tied back to the call that produced it.
Inbound call coverage
Caregiver call-outs, family check-ins, and prospect inquiries answered in your agency name during business hours and on-call windows.
Outbound shift fill
Open-shift outreach to the caregiver backup list in zip-code order. Every dial logged. Every callback tracked.
Call recording for QA
Recordings stored inside your phone system. Available for supervisor review, scheduler coaching, and audit support.
Softphone-based workflow
Schedulers use RingCentral, Nextiva, Dialpad, or 8×8 softphones. No separate handsets. No call-quality drop on home connections.
Call routing by queue
Call-outs route to the shift-fill queue. Family calls route to the client-services queue. New leads route to intake. No mixed traffic.
After-hours coverage
Night, weekend, and holiday on-call answered live. Documented escalation rules. Hospital discharge reroutes captured.
SMS fallback
If the caregiver does not pick up, the scheduler sends a HIPAA-aware SMS through the phone system's secure gateway.
Call-to-shift KPI reports
Daily call volume, average pickup time, voicemail count, outbound dial-to-fill ratio. Owner-level summaries weekly.
Schedulers who answer the phone, not a generic call center
Most call centers pick up the phone and take a message. We pick up the phone, fill the shift, and log it in your software. The difference shows up in your fill rate inside the first two weeks.
Four VoIP platforms supported
RingCentral, Nextiva, Dialpad, and 8×8 integration. Schedulers trained on each softphone interface. No screen-share workarounds. No third-party dialer in the middle.
Call recording for compliance
All caregiver and family calls recorded inside your phone system. Tied back to the scheduler user ID. Available for HIPAA audits and state Medicaid surveys.
2-Week Free Trial
14 days of live telephony-integrated scheduling at the same rate. Cancel before day 14 and owe nothing. No annual contracts. No setup fee.

Frequently asked questions
Which VoIP platforms do you integrate with?
RingCentral, Nextiva, Dialpad, and 8×8 are the four supported platforms today. Schedulers are trained on each softphone interface. We do not introduce a third-party dialer between your phone system and the scheduler.
Do we need to change our published phone number?
No. Your published agency number stays the same. We help your phone-system admin route the call-out queue, family queue, and on-call queue to the Staffingly pod. The caller never sees a different number.
How is call recording handled for HIPAA?
Recordings stay inside your phone system under your retention policy. Schedulers do not download or move recordings. The HIPAA Security Rule at 45 CFR 164.312(b) requires audit controls on PHI systems. Phone-system recording satisfies that control when set up correctly.
Can you cover after-hours and weekends?
Yes. On-call windows route live to a Staffingly pod. Hospital discharge reroutes, overnight call-outs, and weekend reschedules are answered live with documented escalation rules. We do not use a separate answering service.
What reports do we receive?
Daily inbound volume, average pickup time, voicemail count, and outbound dial-to-fill ratio. Weekly owner summary. Monthly QA call review with recordings linked. KPIs aligned with the rest of your scheduling stack.
What is included in the 2-Week Free Trial?
Two weeks of live telephony-integrated scheduling running in parallel with your branch coordinators. Full reporting on call volume, fill rate, missed visits, and EVV exception resolution. No setup fee. No penalty if you cancel before day 14.
How does pricing work for telephony-integrated scheduling?
Per scheduler FTE, per week. Per-skill pricing. No setup fees. $399 Standard, $349 Volume (5 or more), $299 Enterprise (10 or more). Add or remove schedulers by the week. No annual contracts. Multi-state agencies in NJ, NY, TX, and CA can pool schedulers across branches.
How is PHI protected during phone calls?
Full HIPAA-aware workflow with signed BAA, role-based platform access, and audit logging. PHI never leaves the controlled environment. Schedulers work from biometric-secured facilities.
