NURSING HOME Scheduling Software

You're chronically short-staffed and your scheduling process makes it worse.

Nursing home turnover averages 60-75% annually for CNAs — one of the highest rates of any industry. When your roster is constantly changing and your scheduling is in a spreadsheet, you lose time re-entering employees, rebuilding schedules, and finding coverage for shifts that fall apart mid-week. ZoomShift makes it fast to add new employees and get them into the schedule, so a new hire can be on the schedule in minutes after completing onboarding.

Save Time

Overtime is chronic and expensive.

In a 24/7 facility with variable call-outs, staff picking up extra shifts to earn more pay, and pressure not to run short on any shift, overtime accumulates fast. ZoomShift's overtime warnings show administrators when a staff member is approaching their 40-hour threshold as the schedule is built, not after the fact. Reassigning that shift to someone with more hours available costs nothing. Paying overtime does.

Frequently Asked Questions

At its core, scheduling software like ZoomShift keeps your staff on the same page with its feature-rich web and mobile app. The schedule is online and easily viewed 24/7 by both your team and managers. It also makes it easy to communicate when shift cover requests go out or the schedule gets published since ZoomShift has text, email, and push notifications. That means fewer no shows and less back-and-forth email and text chains to cover shifts.
The simplicity of ZoomShift is why people love it so much. Managers enter all employees into the app alongside pertinent info like their job title and wages. Once all your employees are entered into ZoomShift, you can begin shift planning by clicking Schedule in the navigation bar and slotting your employees for the shifts you need covered. Rinse and repeat as necessary and copy schedules daily, weekly, or even monthly to save time.

ZoomShift tracks hours per employee per position per shift. You can export timesheet data filtered by position (RN, LPN, CNA) for any date range, giving you the raw hour data for CMS staffing calculations. You would then apply your current resident census to calculate the per-resident-day ratios.
Permission levels in ZoomShift are configurable. You can give charge nurses manager-level access to post open shifts, approve swap requests, and view the full floor schedule without giving them access to wage data or payroll reporting. Administrators retain full account access.
When a shift goes uncovered, most facilities default to agency because the internal process — calling staff one by one — is slower than calling the agency dispatcher. ZoomShift sends a simultaneous notification to all eligible internal staff when a shift is posted as open. The first person to claim it is assigned the shift. Internal fill rate improves because the offer goes out faster, to more people, at the same time.
Yes. ZoomShift's free iOS and Android app lets staff view their schedule, submit time-off requests, respond to open shift notifications, and clock in and out from any smartphone. Facilities with staff who don't have personal smartphones can also access ZoomShift from any web browser.
