AxxessCARE uses your device’s GPS to verify you are in the proximity of the patient’s home as well as notating the time and date of your visit. Be sure to turn on your device’s location service for this function to work.
You must have your location services turned on in order to verify your visit. You can turn on your device’s location services through your device settings > Location > On.

When you arrive at the patient’s home, tap on the appropriate visit to view the patient visit details. Tap on the Start Visit button located in the bottom of your screen. This will open your visit. When you have completed your visit, use the back button to end the visit. You will be prompted at this time to verify your visit.

Only the agency may edit a patient’s demographic information. Please contact the agency to make necessary corrections.
In order to successfully verify your visit, you must be at the patient’s address when you start the visit.
If you were unable to capture the patient or caregiver’s signature at the time of the visit, to submit your note you will need to mark unable to get signature, select other as the reason, and document the reason you were not able to get the signature. If you are unable to electronically capture the patient or caregiver’s signature, you will want to obtain a handwritten signature confirming your visit. Please check with the agency regarding their signature policy.

Navigate to your Assigned Visits from the menu tab in the upper-left corner of the screen, tap the visit you want to return, and tap Return Visit located in the bottom-right corner of your screen. You will be prompted to select a return reason, agree to the Terms of Cancellation, and sign the returned visit.

Patient care is top priority. Once an assignment is accepted, the clinician is accountable for that visit and must agree to the Terms of Cancellation before returning a visit.
Patient care must be the top priority. If you have multiple missed or returned visits, AxxessCARE may suspend your account. Be mindful of the visits you accept to avoid this from happening.
Visits must be started on the schedule date. If you started your visit and documentation on the scheduled date but were unable to complete your documentation, you can go back to the visit through your schedule or through the menu and finish documenting on a later date. If you did not start your visit on the scheduled date, you will only be able to return the visit.
At this time, it is the agency rating the nurses. There will be opportunities in the future for patients to rate their care as well.
There is not a way to dispute a bad review. If you believe there was a misunderstanding, you may want to reach out to the agency.
Yes, you may rate the agency once your visit is approved from the QA. Open the menu, select All Visits, select the completed visit, and select Rate Visit located at the bottom-right corner of your screen. This will take you to the rating screen. If you rate three stars or less you will need to give a reason. A rating of four or more stars requires no explanation but you can add comment as needed.
