5 Key Features Every Home Care Agency Needs in 2025
The home care industry is evolving rapidly. Changing regulations, shifting patient expectations, and technological advancements modify the landscape, forcing home care agencies to stay competitive and compliant. To keep their edge, home care agencies must adopt software that streamline operations, enhance caregiver productivity, and improve patient outcomes.
There are five key home care software features that every agency needs in 2025 to thrive in an increasingly competitive market. CareVoyant, an all-in-one home care solution, designs efficient scheduling tools, billing software, compliance management, home care reporting, and mobile-friendly home care solutions to ensure your home care agency remains on the cutting edge of an evolving industry.
According to Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, humans retain 58% of what they learned after 20 minutes and only 33% after 24 hours. With the demands put on the clinicians and caregivers, it becomes imperative to document the care at the patient's home and complete the documentation before leaving the patient's home.
Accurate, complete, and timely documentation will help home care agencies to meet regulatory compliance, optimize reimbursement, and improve quality of care, patient safety, patient satisfaction, and employee satisfaction.
For home care agencies operating in multiple states or offering multiple services, achieving EVV compliance can be a daunting task. Challenges such as managing complex workflows, integrating with multiple aggregators, or implementing state-specific EVV solutions to meet state-specific requirements often overwhelm agencies.
This is where CareVoyant comes in. CareVoyant EVV simplifies compliance with an integrated, scalable solution that streamlines workflows, ensures accuracy, and interfaces with all EVV aggregators, enabling home care agencies to meet all federal and state regulations.
