The Bureau of Labor Statistics now projects 18% growth for home health and personal care aides from 2025 to 2035, with about 760,500 openings each year. Demand is not the surprise. The scale is.

Software cannot manufacture caregivers. It can reduce the preventable reasons they leave: impossible routes, last-minute schedule changes, hidden overtime, unanswered availability and assignments that ignore skills or preferences.

Measure the friction. How many miles sit between visits? How often is a shift reopened? How long does approval take? In a labor market this tight, the schedule is no longer a calendar. It is a retention system.
