FAQ

FirstVisit Software is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for private duty home care agencies. The software includes every feature home care agencies need to run their businesses, including scheduling, client management, caregiver management, reporting, EVV, alerts and a caregiver mobile app.

Every FirstVisit subscription includes hands-on comprehensive support. While most software platforms only offer a support hotline, chat or email support, every agency on FirstVisit gets personalized support from their Account Manager. 

Our #1 goal is to ensure your business is thriving. Your Account Manager will work with you to co-create solutions to any challenge you may face using FirstVisit.

Onboarding is a little bit different for each client. If you have an agency that has between 5-50 clients, we can get you onboarded in a week. If it’s any larger than that, it can take a bit longer depending on quickly and easily you can gather all your client and caregiver information. If you leverage our quickbooks integration, we can get you up and running even faster by syncing your clients and employees to FirstVisit.
