Care home scheduling is different
Generic tools don't understand 24/7 operations and rotating shifts.
- Building a rota that covers days, nights, and weekends across multiple wings, then rebuilding it when someone calls in sick
- The office changes the rota without telling anyone, so carers constantly check whether their shifts moved
- No idea who's actually available until you've texted six people and waited an hour
- Calculating hours for carers who rotate between day and night shifts turns payroll into a spreadsheet nightmare
- Drag-and-drop rota with templates for day and night patterns
- One live schedule that syncs to every carer's phone the moment you publish
- Carers set their own availability. You see who's free before building the rota
- Automatic time tracking calculates hours, flags overtime, exports clean timesheets

Get started in minutes
From setup to scheduling in three simple steps.
Add your care team
Set up carers with their roles (senior carer, care assistant, night staff). They download the app and set their availability.
Build your weekly rota
Drag carers into day and night shifts across your wings. Turnozo shows who's available. Save it as a template for next week.
Publish and handle exceptions
One tap sends the rota to everyone's phone. When someone calls in, open shifts go out automatically. You manage the exceptions, not the routine.
Care home scheduling: where staffing gaps affect lives
In care homes, scheduling isn't just operational. It directly affects the quality of care residents receive. Understaffing means longer response times, missed medications, and exhausted carers.
52%
Annual turnover for care assistants
More than half of care workers leave within a year. Low pay is the main driver, but unpredictable scheduling is a close second. Workers who know their schedule 2+ weeks in advance are significantly more likely to stay.

1:8
Typical carer-to-resident ratio (daytime)
Ratios tighten to 1:20+ at night. Dropping below minimum staffing ratios triggers regulatory concerns and puts residents at risk. A clear weekly view of who's covering what makes gaps obvious before the week starts.
24/7
Continuous care requirement
Care homes never close. Day shifts, evening shifts, night shifts, and waking night shifts all need coordination. Handover periods between shifts are critical and must overlap by 15-30 minutes.
40%
Care workers on flexible or casual contracts
A large portion of the workforce has no guaranteed hours. They accept shifts across multiple care homes. Having their availability in real-time and offering shifts through the app means you fill gaps before competitors do.
Care home scheduling challenges
Continuity of care
Residents do better with familiar carers. Scheduling the same staff to the same residents when possible improves care quality and reduces confusion. Rotation patterns that balance continuity with fair distribution matter.
Role-based shift planning
Medication administration, manual handling, dementia care. Set up the roles each carer covers and you'll see at a glance who can take which shift — especially helpful on nights when staff is minimal.
Agency staff integration
When internal staff can't cover, agency workers fill the gaps. Having agency and internal staff in one schedule prevents double-booking and gives you one view of who's actually on shift.
