Sharon Care Center, a Nightingale facility, sought better visibility into overtime trends and attendance behaviors. Leadership needed a simple way to identify where labor costs were climbing and ensure that staff were adhering to scheduled hours.

The Solution

By implementing Covr, Sharon Care gained an immediate view into clock-in and clock-out behavior. Administrators can now track schedule adherence, spot early or late punches, and make timely adjustments to prevent unnecessary overtime.

The built-in messaging tool has become a reliable way to reach staff quickly and efficiently. Updates, reminders, and shift notices go out instantly, helping teams stay connected and informed.

“We’ve also used it to track absences and hold people accountable to their shifts, which has made scheduling smoother,” said administrator JR Blood. “It’s even created a little competition on who has fewer early ins and outs.”

Since launch, the facility has seen a 24% reduction in hours worked past scheduled shifts, improving both budget control and staff consistency.
