eCaring

eCaring is management software for non-medical home care agencies, connecting scheduling, authorizations, electronic visit verification (EVV), care documentation, billing, payroll, and caregiver communication. It serves agencies working across Medicaid, private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Affairs programs. Its scheduling engine scores caregiver-client pairings using factors such as availability, preferences, location, historical care, margins, and overtime. Auto Shift Verification applies agency rules to visit times, tasks, signatures, and geofence compliance, then sends exceptions for manual review. Billing supports payor-specific claims and files, private-pay invoices, authorization checks, and flags visits that do not meet payor or EVV requirements. Agencies can configure services, rates, rounding rules, procedure codes, and billing requirements by payor. The Android and iOS caregiver app supports offline EVV, GPS-verified clock-ins, visit details, and SMS alerts and reminders. Caregivers without a cell phone can clock in or out through a dedicated toll-free number using the client's phone. Listed integrations include ADP, QuickBooks, Lobbie, Paychex, Payro, MP-HR, PayRight Payroll, and Paylocity. Pricing is personalized after scheduling a meeting; the listed plan is available from startups through enterprise. The pricing note says from $150/mo, while the pricing page provides no numeric prices.

eCaring brings agency operations and caregiver tools together, with payor-specific billing and visit verification. Agencies should plan to schedule a meeting to receive a personalized cost breakdown.

eCaring is for non-medical home care agencies managing caregiver schedules, EVV, billing, and payor requirements across the listed programs. Its mobile app and phone clock-in option serve caregivers with or without a cell phone.

eCaring is a home-care agency management platform for non-medical providers handling multiple funding programs and visit requirements. It suits agencies that want scheduling, EVV, documentation, billing and caregiver communication connected in one workflow. Its broad operational coverage is compelling, but agencies must accept a sales-led pricing process before they can judge the full cost.

Overview

eCaring brings scheduling, authorizations, electronic visit verification, care documentation, billing, payroll and caregiver communication into a single system. Its audience includes agencies serving Medicaid, private-pay clients, long-term care insurance and Veterans Affairs programs. That range makes it a plausible fit for organizations managing different payors and compliance rules at once, rather than a narrow scheduling tool for a single program.

The company was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts. eCaring says its product was built by home-care industry veterans; its listed leadership includes CEO Michael Trigilio, COO Justin Hanzlik and CTO Patrick Devers.

Key features

The scheduling engine scores caregiver-client pairings using availability, preferences, location, historical care, margins and overtime. In practice, schedulers can weigh client fit and labor economics alongside basic availability. That is useful for agencies with complicated rosters, although a score remains a decision aid rather than a replacement for professional judgment.

Auto Shift Verification applies agency-defined rules to visit times, tasks, signatures and geofence compliance, then sends exceptions for manual review. This gives staff a way to concentrate on questionable records instead of reviewing every visit identically. The billing system supports payor-specific claims and billing files, private-pay invoices and authorization checks, and flags visits that fail payor or EVV requirements. Agencies can configure services, rates, rounding rules, procedure codes and billing requirements by payor, which should reduce the need to force different funding arrangements into one generic billing setup.

The caregiver app runs on Android and iOS. It supports GPS-verified clock-ins, visit details, SMS alerts and reminders, plus offline EVV for situations where connectivity is unreliable. A dedicated toll-free phone system lets caregivers without a cell phone clock in and out using the client’s phone, providing a practical fallback. Care documentation and availability management are also included.

Listed integrations include ADP, QuickBooks, Lobbie, Paychex, Payro, MP-HR, PayRight Payroll and Paylocity. eCaring says agencies can ask about connecting a preferred platform that is not on that list. Support combines a knowledge base, personalized one-on-one help and technical assistance by email.

Pricing

eCaring is paid software with pricing from $150/mo. Its listed plan, Personalized pricing, is available from startups through enterprise, but the pricing page provides no numeric plan breakdown and directs prospective customers to schedule a meeting for a personalized cost breakdown. That approach may suit agencies whose requirements vary substantially by payor mix, caregiver operation or scale; it is less useful for buyers comparing recurring costs before entering a sales process. No free plan or free trial is stated.

Platforms

eCaring is available on Android, iOS and the web. The mobile caregiver application covers Android and iOS, while agency workflows are also accessible through the web platform.

Who it's for

Choose eCaring if you run a non-medical home-care agency serving several programs and need scheduling, EVV, payor configuration and billing controls in one place. Its phone clock-in backup is particularly relevant when some caregivers cannot rely on a personal smartphone, and offline EVV helps where connectivity is inconsistent.

Look elsewhere if a published, itemized price is essential before speaking with a vendor, or if you only need a small standalone scheduling utility rather than an agency-wide operating platform.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Payor-aware operations: configurable rates, procedure codes, rounding and billing requirements support varied funding arrangements.
• Exception-focused EVV: rule-based verification routes questionable visits for manual review.
• Flexible caregiver access: offline mobile EVV and toll-free phone clock-in cover common device and connectivity gaps.
• Broad integration list: payroll and accounting connections include ADP, QuickBooks, Paychex and Paylocity, with a stated path to discuss other platforms.

Cons

• Limited price transparency: the personalized quote process makes direct cost comparison difficult.
• Operational breadth may be excessive for small needs: agencies seeking only scheduling may pay for a larger management scope.

Alternatives

Home Care Scheduling Software is the broader category to explore when scheduling is the primary requirement.

HHAeXchange is the better starting point for providers wanting a free state-sponsored portal, with Android, iOS, web and API access.

Alora Home Care fits agencies that prefer a quote based on agency users or patient count and need support across Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.

ANKOTA is worth considering for organizations spanning home care, EVV, I/DD, adult day and self-direction programs.

TimeGrid is an Android and iOS alternative with a founding-agency rate of $6 per active caregiver per month, locked for 12 months from go-live by application.

Verdict

eCaring is a strong choice for non-medical home-care agencies that need one system for complex scheduling, EVV, documentation and payor-specific billing. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of compliance controls and caregiver access options; its main reason to look elsewhere is the lack of a fully published price structure before a sales meeting.
