Made for caregivers

More Time Caring. Less Time Counting.

Looking after someone takes your whole heart, and keeping track of every hour should not take what is left. CareHrs turns each day’s hours into clear timesheets and totals, so you can spend your energy on the people who count on you.

  • Hours and minutes
  • Voice entry
  • PDF timesheets

Programs and Care Models

CAWhere CareHrs began

California IHSS

In-Home Supportive Services. CareHrs is shaped around the 1st–15th and 16th–end pay periods, monthly authorized hours and per-recipient timesheets that IHSS providers know.

NYNew York

CDPAP

Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. Keep your own record of the hours you work for each person.

TXTexas

CDS

Consumer Directed Services. Track hours for the person you support and keep a clean copy for yourself.

PCSCare model

Personal Care Services

Help with daily living at home, offered through many state Medicaid and local programs.

HCBSCare model

Home & Community-Based Services

Services that let people receive care at home or in the community instead of in a facility.

SDCCare model

Self-Directed Care Programs

Programs where the person receiving care, or their family, chooses and directs their own caregivers.

Pay periods. CareHrs organizes hours into two pay periods a month, the 1st–15th and the 16th–end, with Sunday–Saturday workweeks. If your program uses a different schedule, CareHrs does not change these periods, so treat it as your own record.

These programs are not identical. Names, rules and pay schedules differ by state and by program. CareHrs is an independent personal record and is not affiliated with any government program, agency or payroll system. It does not submit hours, connect to payroll or provide electronic visit verification. Always enter and submit your hours the way your program requires.

How it works

Built around how caregivers actually work.

From a quick note at the end of a shift to a clean timesheet at the end of the pay period.

A timesheet for every person.

Each recipient has their own timesheet, split into workweeks and pay periods, with the total worked and the hours remaining.

  • 1st–15th and 16th–end kept separate
  • Type in the monthly hours from your notice and the remaining hours update as you go
