Healthcare and care workers

Lone worker safety for care and community health staff

Care workers and community health staff visit people in their own homes, often alone, often early or late. SafetyEvo gives each of them a discreet way to call for help and a check-in for every visit.

The risks your people face

Aggression

From clients, family members or others in the home.

Unfamiliar homes

Pets, hazards and unknown visitors.

Travelling at night

Between visits on foot or by car.

Common challenges

  • Rounds with many short visits
  • Coordinators covering large patches
  • Staff who need discretion in front of clients

How SafetyEvo helps

Discreet SOS and duress PIN

A worker forced to cancel can do so in a way that keeps the alert live.

Visit timers

A check-in timer for each visit, with the area as the note, never the client’s name.

Coordinator console

See who is on their round and who needs attention.

Keep client details out of timer notes. Use an area or visit reference instead.

A working example

A late visit that runs over

  1. A carer starts a 30 minute timer at an evening visit.
  2. The visit runs over because the client is unwell. The carer extends the timer from the reminder screen.
  3. Had the carer been unable to respond, the coordinator would have been alerted with the last location.

An illustrative scenario. Names and times are not from a real incident.

What you gain

  • Welfare cover for every visit, not just the risky ones
  • Clear escalation outside office hours
  • A record that supports your lone working policy

Frequently asked questions

Is client information stored?

No client data is needed. Timer notes are free text, so we advise using an area or reference rather than a name.
