Rota & visits
Plan the rota. Every visit starts with what matters.
Coordinators plan care packages and visits by client, carer and travel zone, then publish the rota. Carers see who they’re supporting, when, and which tasks are expected before they begin.

Rota & visits at a glance
- What it does
- Lets coordinators plan care packages and visits by zone and carer, assign carers and publish the rota, and shows carers each visit with its allocated tasks.
- Who it helps
- Coordinators building the rota, and carers moving between homes who need visits and tasks to be clear before the day starts.
- The problem it solves
- When the rota lives in a separate tool, a phone call or a printout, unassigned visits slip through and carers start visits without the latest context.
- How it fits
- The rota, the visit and the person’s record are connected, so notes, medication and incidents are recorded against the same visit.

Questions
Good to know.
Can I build rotas in ServPatch today?
Yes. Coordinators plan care packages and visits by client, carer and travel zone in the manager dashboard, assign carers, record availability and time away, and publish the schedule. AI-assisted conflict highlights and travel-time optimisation are on our roadmap.
Do carers see tasks before they arrive?
Yes. Allocated tasks, such as personal care or a medication prompt, are shown before the carer starts the visit.
