Roundhouse

home care scheduling
12 visits · 8 care professionals · one metro, one day

Filling a home-care day is not a rostering problem with a preference layer bolted on. Some constraints are absolute — certification, mechanical-transfer training, a documented allergy — and the dominant quality signal is continuity: clients who keep the same caregiver do better and leave less. This board solves the assignment with those as first-class terms, then reports which visits could not be filled and exactly which constraint blocked each one.

Objective weights

Amber blocks are visits going to a caregiver the client has not had before. Drop the continuity weight to zero and watch the board fill with them: travel time and overtime improve, and the schedule gets worse in the way that actually loses clients.
