OrbitCare is a care documentation platform built for group home and youth program organizations in Alberta and BC: daily logs, incident reports, goals, staff credentials, and team chat in one place, with funder-ready output at the press of a button.
Built for CFS- and DFNA-funded residential care organizations.
The current reality
Most organizations we talk to aren't short on documentation, they're short on documentation they can find, trust, and hand to a funder without a scramble.
Handwritten logs live in binders at each home. When a question comes up about a specific night three months ago, someone drives over and starts flipping pages.
First aid lapses, a CPI certificate quietly expires, and nobody notices until a licensing review does. Tracking it in a spreadsheet means someone has to remember to look.
Month-end and audit season mean late nights re-typing notes into report templates. The information exists, it's just not in a shape anyone can hand over.
01 · The director's view
Open OrbitCare and you're looking at your whole organization: active clients, programs, staff, and open incidents, live counts, not last month's spreadsheet.
02 · Programs
Every home, youth program, or family-living placement is its own program in OrbitCare, with its own enrolled clients, assigned staff, chat room, and calendar. Tap a program on the dashboard to step right into it.
03 · Team chat
Chat is its own tab, not a feature buried three taps inside a program. One screen holds every conversation you're part of: a pinned General room for the whole organization, a room for each program, and named group chats for the people who need their own thread, weekend leads, an on-call rotation, the team around one client.
It's where the 3 a.m. callout goes, where the evening shift tells the morning shift what actually happened, and where a director reaches every home at once without a phone tree.
04 · Client profiles
Each client has a living face sheet: identity, guardian and case-worker contacts, health details, medications, and allergy warnings, with their own tabs for logs, incidents, contact notes, goals, monthly reports, and forms all in one place.
05 · Daily documentation
A structured daily log with date and shift, mood and behaviour, activities, medication, and shift notes, instead of a blank page. Staff tap through it at the end of a shift in minutes.
06 · Incident reporting
Incident reports capture what licensing expects: severity, type of occurrence, preceding events, mitigation, notifications, and any intrusive or restrictive measures, then move through a management review workflow with a visible status.
07 · Goals
Each client has monthly goals: what they're working toward, logged progress entries with outcomes and prompt levels, and a narrative summary, the evidence base behind every placement report.
08 · The documentation hub
The Docs tab is the shared record room: daily logs, incident reports, contact notes, and monthly reports, all in one place. Filter by shift, status, contact type, or follow-up flag, and open any record to read, review, or export it.
09 · Staff credentials
Define the credentials your organization requires, from first aid to medication administration, CPI, and agency-specific training, and OrbitCare tracks completion and expiry for every staff member.
10 · Funder-ready output
Every log, incident report, face sheet, and goal report exports as a clean, strictly black-and-white PDF, deliberately formal, print-safe, and ready to hand to a caseworker, placement authority, or licensing reviewer as-is.
Access & security
OrbitCare has distinct roles, staff, management, and admin, and the app simply doesn't show people the screens and buttons their role can't use.
OrbitCare serves each organization as a separate tenant, and the separation is enforced in the database, not just in the app: every record belongs to your organization, and the database refuses to return it to anyone else's account, a protection known as row-level security. Access is audited, and sensitive documents live in private storage behind expiring links.
Standards & funders
OrbitCare is designed around the funders and privacy obligations western Canadian residential care organizations answer to, so the records you keep are the records they ask for.
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and role-based access controls ensure staff only ever see what they need to.
A 20-minute walkthrough with your homes, your required credentials, and your reporting obligations on the table. No setup on your end, just bring the questions your last audit raised.
