AlayaCare’s App – Quick Review for Nurses
Posted/as of: March 16, 2023
The following info is based on the latest version of the AlayaCare app currently in use at Milestones in Home Care.
(Version 2.39.0 on Android’s Play Store = Version 2.40.0 on the Apple App Store)
These updates include a change to the view of a patient’s chart, including the places nurses need to tap to open a new note, and access information about a patient’s care history through the shift.
Overview of the App
Signing into the app
- Continue to enter your email address and password to sign-into the app.
Finding your shift
- Once signed into the app, you will be brought to the current day on the schedule, and you will see any assigned shifts for the current day.
- Shifts appear in rows, as rectangular blocks that run from edge to edge on the app. Tap/click anywhere along that block to enter the shift (you have not clocked in yet, but you will see the details of the shift, including basic patient information).

Clocking into your shift
- Once you are clicked into your shift, a “CLOCK IN” button appears at the bottom of the screen while a green clock appears in the upper right corner of the app. — Click either button or icon to clock in.

- Click on Nurses Note to begin documenting your patient care throughout the shift.
- ~~ Only select Nurses Note ONCE each shift…
- ~~ Once a note is started, continue to exit & save it to draft; reopening it for more edits during the shift. Continue this cycle of open&edit, then exit&save/update til the end of your shift… Only submit when your shift is coming to a close.
- Tablets & Android phones: Use the arrow in the upper left corner to step backward through the app.
- If you are editing a note, tapping the arrow will exit the Note and prompt you to save the form as a draft. Later it will prompt you to update the changes, after the first save.
