Senior Care & Community Services

Accountability by location, program and funding stream.

Senior care and community services run on people: staff across residences, day programs and home services, paid for by public funding, client fees and fundraising. Finance needs to show each location and program what it earned, what it spent and why.

Funding / Revenue, Location / Program, People & Services, Cost, Accountability

One organization, several ways of being paid.

Choose a funding stream. The board shows which kinds of location usually carry it, and what finance must do at each step so every location and program can account for it.

01Funding / Revenue

Funding tied to approved services, usually with a budget and a year-end reconciliation.

02Location / Program

Assigned to the locations and programs named in the agreement.

03People & Services

Staffing levels and service volumes are often what the agreement measures.

04Cost

Payroll, benefits and agency staff dominate. Code them to location and program at the source.

05Accountability

Reconcile funded services and spending to the agreement, and explain any surplus or deficit.

Typical patterns. Your funding agreements and services decide the real structure.

Payroll is the cost structure.

Staffing is usually the largest cost in care and community services, and it is scheduled by shift, location and program. The design has to carry that detail into finance without copying the scheduling system.

Scheduling and payroll
Own shifts, hours, rates and pay. They stay the source of truth for people.
What finance receives
Payroll journals by location, program and funding stream, with totals that reconcile to the pay run.
Shared staff
Staff who work across sites or programs are allocated from recorded hours, not estimates.
What leaders watch
Overtime and agency staffing by location, against budget, before month-end.

How Biviti configures it

We design location, program and funding dimensions first, connect payroll and care systems as summarized, reconciled feeds, and set budgets and approvals so each location manager sees revenue, staffing and cost together.

What managers, boards and funders need to see

Budgets by location

Each location and program owns a budget, and managers see actuals against it without waiting for month-end packs.

Shared costs

Head office, facilities and information technology are allocated with a method the funders accept.

Approvals

Purchasing and staffing approvals follow the location and program budget, with limits that match delegated authority.

Board and funder reporting

The same ledger produces the board view, the funder reconciliation and the location report.
