Introduction

Visiting Angels of Greater Seattle provides non-medical home care. Executive Director Tina Valdez used her business transformation expertise to rapidly expand the agency since acquiring the franchise. Under her leadership, operations have scaled, while quality and consistent care remain central.
 
With more than 140 caregivers supporting approximately 200 clients, Tina required scalable processes and technology to sustain growth and maintain the personal service that families trust. Implementing AxisCare streamlined lead management, scheduling, billing, reporting, and mobile workflows became the engine for efficiency and growth.

The Challenge: An Outdated Billing System Required a Scalable Solution

When Tina took over the agency, she inherited disjointed processes, manual tasks, and legacy mindsets. She knew she needed a software solution that could:

  • Replace outdated, paper-based workflows
  • Reduce administrative overhead in billing and payroll
  • Improve visibility and accountability in client and caregiver management
  • Scale without increasing stress or complexity
  • Stay reliable in a fast-paced environment where outages could cost time, money, and trust

These challenges created real friction for Visiting Angels of Greater Seattle. Paper-based workflows meant staff spent hours chasing signatures, correcting errors, and reconciling mismatched timecards instead of focusing on clients. Limited visibility into schedules and caregiver activity made it difficult to identify gaps in coverage, ensure accurate documentation, and hold teams accountable.

As the agency grew, a single outage or staffing change could disrupt billing, payroll, and the continuity of care that families depended on.

The Solution - A Comprehensive, Dependable Platform

AxisCare replaced multiple disconnected tools with a single, integrated system. Tina’s team manages their entire home care operation in AxisCare – giving them real-time access to key information, faster turnaround for billing and payroll, and a seamless experience for both staff and caregivers.

Key improvements included:

  • End-to-end lead and client management
    From initial contact to conversion, the agency tracks and manages the full client journey in AxisCare – using conversion reports, marketing calendars, and care plan integrations to drive smarter decisions and tighter coordination.
  • Seamless operations with real-time scheduling
    With features like real-time view, open visits, and visit verification, Tina’s team can monitor scheduling gaps, make fast adjustments, and ensure uninterrupted care delivery even during staff changes. “We lost our scheduler, and we did not miss a beat… It wasn’t like, ‘Oh no, the schedule just went out the window.’ It didn’t. The way we’re using AxisCare facilitated our ability to complete scheduling by others in the office easily.” – Tina Valdez, Executive Director
  • Mobile-first caregiver experience
    All core functions, like clocking in/out to submitting shift notes are handled through the caregiver’s smartphone. The digital-first experience AxisCare offers has helped the agency onboard new staff quickly and maintain a fully paperless operation.
  • Streamlined back office and billing
    Tina’s team has been able to drastically reduce time spent on payroll and invoicing, freeing up leadership to focus on growth.
  • Reliability as a standard
    Coming from industries where software outages were the norm, Tina was impressed by AxisCare’s consistent reliability. With zero downtime and fast, responsive support, the team can trust the platform to keep up with their day-to-day demands. “The one thing that was really surprising to me when I started working with AxisCare was that there was like literally no downtime. I come from a world where that’s kind of unheard of.” – Tina Valdez, Executive Director
