Working in rural NH, AlayaCare is essentially useless in my opinion. It's not a true app and requires communication with the web site in my opinion. Using the option of downloading data is hit or miss as to whether the data will actually sync back to the servers in my opinion. It also won't show you new visits unless you manually refresh the download I've found. I believe there are no option to send or display alerts if your schedule changes. To summarize: Unless you are always in areas with excellent service, AlayaCare is useless and you would be better off manually logging your times using pen and paper I believe. I am often in areas where AlayaCare won't work, yet I can still text, make calls, or visit websites I'v found
Our previous software, Cashe, stopped providing updates, prompting us to transition our clients to Alora Home Health Software. While we've encountered a few minor issues—mostly user errors—Alora Home Health Software's support has been exceptional. Their direct line connects immediately, with no hold times or voicemails, which was a refreshing change from the poor service we experienced with our old provider. [...] stands out for her extraordinary knowledge of the Alora Home Health Software platform. When I called seeking help with OASIS submissions to the iQIES system, she addressed it immediately that same day—no "we can set up a time later" delays. She pinpointed exactly what needed to be fixed and resolved the issues in real time. Using screen sharing during an in-person session, she walked us through each step with remarkable patience, going above and beyond to ensure everything was handled correctly. We're ecstatic to have found a true partner in Alora Home Health Software, one that supports fast, accurate accounting and truly cares about helping us serve our clients. Highly recommended!
The IOS app appears to just be a front end for the web version which makes it ridiculously slow. Logging in, clocking in, or clocking out routinely takes 15+ seconds or longer if you don't have a strong cell connection. Doing a log in and then a clock in will take a full minute as communication with the server is so painfully slow.
The app doesn't know if it's logged in or logged out until you try to do something like clock into a call I've found. The app will look like its clocking you in and 15 seconds later you get an error and are taken to the log in screen. This results in missed clocks, inaccurate times, and endless frustration.
The app regularly loses the face id setting so you have to manually log in and enable face id again.
When you start the app, you have to manually start a log in, because it isn't smart enough to know whether it's logged in or not. Most apps will automatically identify if a login is needed and attempt to log you in via face id.
Using the offline data feature, the data often won't sync with main servers, resulting in lost clocks. New visits won't show up unless you manually download the data again.
The web app is not a responsive design and you lose fields and parts of your view based on your screen size. In 2022, responsive design should be part of any web site, especially those used by businesses.
There are no alert features on the app or web site. There should be options to sent a text or alert if your schedule is changed. Currently, the schedulers have to make a phone call or email the RN to let then know a change has been made. Obviously this is inefficient.
You can't look up a patient's future visits in the IOS app.
The IOS app is essentially unusable if you are on a LTE or have less than 3 bars on 5g
The login screen says "Log in or Log out" Just more evidence that the app doesn't know it's own status.
No setting to change the amount of time before you are logged out. This means you are almost always logged out of the app or website before you even finish a visit.
It would be nice if there were some sort of alert when an incoming fax has arrived. Sort of like a ding or a bell notification at the top similar to an email, rather than having to go check every so often. We appreciate being very responsive.
If we were able to customize every single section for each type of visit, that would be very helpful as we have noticed that we would like more details in some places and less in others.
During initial training, going through each type of visit together from start to finish would be helpful. Addressing every single scenario that might happen, such as recerts or discharges. I think doing several of those from start to finish together would be beneficial as repetition is key.
The small issues I have had are all minor and not enough to reduce the rating. This software was easy to implement, the customer support team was friendly and relatable and never made me feel like any questions was stupid, and the ability to keep up with requirements and have ease during my state survey built in was HUGE. I could not have made it to where we are without Alora
So I talked with other business owners and asked what software companies were they using to help keep track of things in their companies before I made a choice. Alora Home Health Software was the name I heard the most, and when I asked why, they always had really great things to say, so I reached out, and I can honestly say I'm really glad I listened to them because Alora Home Health Software has really helped make my dream come true.
Clock in/out times in AlayaCare are not reliable due to the apps frequent inability to contact it's servers and it's inability to detect whether it's logged in or not.
Significant nursing hours are wasted waiting on the app to log in or change your clocking status.
Most billing companies charge 3-5% of your return to utilize their services. Alora has saved us that expense soley by the ease of their product. The built in ability to send claims straight to clearinghouse saves us a large percentage that would normally have to go to a 3rd party billing agency. Allows us to keep our money in house.
Alora provides a QA center and an area where all documents can pulled quickly that makes it super simple for us as an agency to keep up with our ability to do Clinical Record Reviews which is important for us to stay accredited and keep up with the top standard we strive for.
