CareVaultc vs CareDocs

CareDocs serves both residential and domiciliary care. CareVaultc is built exclusively for home care agencies. Here is what that focus means in practice.

Home care vs residential

CareDocs serves both residential care homes and domiciliary care agencies. CareVaultc is built exclusively for domiciliary care — agencies that send carers to visit clients in their own homes.

This focus means every feature in CareVaultc is optimised for visit-based workflows. The scheduling calendar is designed around runs and rounds, not shifts. The payroll engine understands travel time between visits. The mobile app is built for carers who move between multiple client homes each day.

When a platform tries to serve both residential and domiciliary care, compromises are inevitable. CareVaultc makes no such compromises — every screen, every workflow, every alert is designed for home care.
