Home care and healthcare staffing across Ontario

Tap’N’Care

The Tap’N’Care app

Care you can stay connected to.

Tap’N’Care uses technology to help make home care and staffing more visible, coordinated and accountable. Our people provide the care. The app helps everyone see that it happened.

  4. Step 4: Visit recorded

    Check-in and check-out times are recorded, with digital timesheets for shifts.

Common questions.

Who uses the Tap’N’Care app?

Families and clients who receive home care, the caregivers and healthcare workers who provide it, and healthcare organizations that request staff. What you see depends on your role.

What can families see in the app?

Families can request care, see profile information about their assigned caregiver before arrival, and see caregiver check-in and check-out information for visits.

Why does the app use my location?

Caregivers work at an assigned client or service location. The app uses GPS location, including background location where needed, to support check-in and check-out and electronic visit verification at that location. It isn’t used to track caregivers for unrelated purposes.

Why does the app ask for a selfie?

Some features ask for a selfie or photo as part of identity verification or visit-related steps, to help confirm the right person is using the account or carrying out the visit.
