Overview
skySchedule is the AI scheduler for senior living and healthcare, part of skyWorkforce by Skypoint AI. Powered by skyAgent, it builds the weekly schedule, fills open shifts, and flags overtime risk while schedulers stay in command.
Operators get a desktop workspace per community; staff get a mobile app (Android on Google Play, iOS coming soon). Every agent action can be set to suggest, confirm, or run autonomously, and is logged to an append-only audit trail.
Why skySchedule Delivers Better Outcomes
Templates, priority-based autofill, and an open-shift waterfall replace phone trees.
Staff accept offers, post availability, and message the team from the portal or mobile app, with push notifications.
Ask who is working, autofill a week, or manage staff. Writes are gated; reads stay scoped to the selected location.
Ratios, credentials, overtime, HPPD, and zone coverage are checked before a schedule goes live.
Key Capabilities
Compact day and week views, a printable daily roster, and a location switcher. Shifts color by period, facility timezone applies everywhere, and a publish history records each release.
Staffed templates, standing weekly patterns, rotation cadence, and batch-created open shifts. Autofill follows a named, reorderable priority list per position and community.
Rank candidates from full-time through agency, send SMS offers in timed rounds, and track replies. Predictive ranking estimates who is likely to accept.
Callouts from any channel open a replacement shift and start the waterfall. Late punches can trigger live alerts and optional coverage offers.
Staff pick up shifts and set weekly or rotating availability. Each location decides whether changes need manager approval, and managers can bulk-apply templates and grant time off.
Per-location OT policy that blocks, warns, or escalates, with OT pickups held for manager approval.
Credential expiry alerts, publish-time rule validation, and projected-vs-actual labor cost rollups.
Import or export staffing models and drive them from occupancy, including August Health.
Cross-community float pools and agency onboarding with credential checks and invoice reconciliation.
Community feed with polls and targeted posts, direct messaging with photos, and push notifications.
Nightly roster, attendance, and PTO sync, plus a view of shifts worked but never rostered.
Decide drop requests in one panel: send offers, assign a replacement, or keep the shift with a reason.
Summary or detailed reports per location, in Excel or PDF.
Location-limited admins, custom role names, and a light or dark appearance setting.
A location-scoped assistant for staffing questions and how-to help, with gated writes. Dual-role users can switch to their staff view.
How a Week Gets Built
Define positions, staff types, shift periods, and a staffing model tied to census.
Expand templates and recurring patterns, then autofill by the named fill order.
Open shifts, callouts, and late clock-ins enter the waterfall. Cancelling a published shift can require manager approval.
Compliance, credentials, overtime, and coverage are validated. Export the schedule to Excel, filtered by member, position, or period.
