Acumen Services for Direct Care Employees

  • Electronic Visit Verification (EVV). Caregivers who provide home care assistance to participants are required by the 21st Century Cures Act to track care provider visits. At Acumen we use Direct Care Innovations’ EVV app, which allows employees to accurately track travel and shift time. This highly configurable app includes many other convenient features.
  • Payroll. Acumen is in charge of payroll and will make sure employees are paid accurately and on time. At the end of the year, Acumen prepares and provides the employee’s W-2.
  • Notifications. Direct Care Innovations, the software system Acumen uses, provides alerts to the employee when a certification renewal is coming due. This allows employees to continue working without interruptions to their work or pay due to certification lapses.

Helping thousands of people lead more independent lives since 1995.
