Safe Staffing, Shift After Shift.
Workforce management for residential and nursing homes — rotas that hold safe staffing levels, CQC-ready shift evidence, and messaging that keeps the whole home in step.

Rotas That Hold Safe Staffing Levels
Dependency levels move, nurses are scarce, and one short shift can ripple through the whole home. Care home rotas carry the weight of safe staffing every single day.
Tommy keeps your rota clear. Set the cover each unit and shift needs, assign nurses and carers directly or publish open shifts for qualified staff to claim, and use skill requirements — NMC registration, dementia training — so the right people are always on.
Rules based shift trading with automatic or manual approvals fills gaps from your own team first, before agency becomes the answer.

Handovers That Reach Everyone
Tommy Messaging keeps handovers, rota changes, and home-wide updates in one clear place — no personal numbers shared — with notifications that follow each person’s rota. On shift, informed; off shift, undisturbed.

Shift Evidence You Can Show An Inspector
When the CQC asks how you assure safe staffing, payroll-backed records answer best. Tommy’s time clock — kiosk at the home or personal device with selfie verification — captures every shift as it happens.
Clock in/out questions handle handover notes or wellbeing checks while timesheets build themselves.
Approved hours flow straight to payroll, keeping staffing evidence and agency-versus-bank cost visibility clean.
