How Scheduling Works
Unlike traditional shift-based jobs, home care schedules may change based on:
- Patient care needs
- Insurance authorization limits
- Availability of caregivers
- Changes in patient condition or care plans
Your schedule may adjust from week to week. Brevy offers patients and caregivers flexible scheduling, meaning your schedule does not need to be recurring week over week or day over day.
Authorized Hours
Each patient has a maximum number of hours authorized by their insurance. This will be communicated to you by Brevy staff during your onboarding.
