Worktrim vs Homebase
Both schedule hourly teams, track their time and can run their payroll. The difference is what else you need: Worktrim adds senior care documentation and free customer invoicing on the same login.
Homebase may suit you better if
- You have up to 10 employees at one location and want a free plan
- You want built-in team messaging and hiring tools
- You pay per location and have many staff at each one
Worktrim may suit you better if
- You run assisted living or senior care and need eMAR, ADLs and incidents
- You also bill customers and want free invoicing with online payment
- You want payroll included in the plan rather than as an add-on

Care and staffing in one system
For an assisted living facility, scheduling is only half the day. Worktrim keeps the resident record, the med pass and the ADL charting next to the schedule and the time clock, so the person who charts the care and the person who staffs the shift work in one place.
