Likelihood to Recommend
well suited for folks in manufacturing or building (jobs and tasks required). Good for small and big business, ease of forming to what you want rather then getting oversold on items that you will not use. Lots of training options available

Approximately, 3 years ago our business was using Excel spreadsheets and a cell phone to communicate to the caregivers about available visits as well as tracking who they are assigned to. This process took most of my 9 hour work day. With AxisCare Home Care Software having the Real Time View, Open Visits Requests Report, the Open Visit Note, and the Chat feature, I am able to do in 2 hours what it took 7 hours before. I feel I am more efficient, communicate better, and feel better knowing the client does have someone assigned to his or her visit.

Pros
  • HRIS that is personalized for the employee and addresses DE&I needs.
  • Payroll, of course! The system addresses all needs, such as deductions, additional pay, premium OT, and shift differentials.
  • Onboarding is an excellent way to stay in compliance and have all documents completed.
  • Tax and Banking and resolution to any issues.
Read full review
  • Reports. I love that you can add the columns you need for each report.
  • Documents. I love being able to store all documents in our clients charts and absolutely love the "Show Expired" check box that was added, that has been very helpful.
  • Customization. I love that you can add custom fields and reports include these custom fields. I love being able to set the banner color for each office which is coordinated to my spreadsheets. I love the customization options in the Calendar tab, just all customization options so that everyone can customize the website / portal however they need or want to so it works best for them.
  • Forms. This might fall under customization, but I absolutely love forms can be created, completed, and shared.

Cons
  • Customized pre-process payroll reports (Limited on pre-process payroll reports)
  • Labor Allocation (Allocations make payroll reporting very hard to review and find any errors )
  • Recruiting (ATS is very basic)
  • Geofencing (should be able to change shape rather than a circle)
  • Pay Classes (should be able to change at Practitioner level rather than reach out to support)
  • Cookies and Cache have to be cleared on a regular basis
  • Only able to see employee documents/acknowledgements one at a time in the employee file
  • Timecards can only be managed/viewed by 1 person
  • Timeoff emails do not have a link
  • Cost per payroll - not just monthly fee so cost with off cycle payrolls
  • Separate I9 step not needed - during onboarding - 2nd Everify step
  • ADP Workforce Now does not pull in allowances for Houly employees into payroll ONLY Salaried employees

  • Would like to see invoicing and billing work better together and not separated
  • TCM billing for AR is a high need
  • Billing AR Medicaid and rounding units and leaving small balances or overpaid balances would like to see resolved
  • Tasks tied to client accounts
  • Select multiple days at a time to remove all at once from the calendar

Likelihood to Renew
We are happy with the service and options offered by ADP. Although the cost is a bit high for a not-for-profit organization, it is essential that we have multi-jurisdictional support for the 20 plus states where employees work and reside. As our company is diminishing in size, we may need to look at making a change to conserve costs. At this time, that would be the only reason we would not renew our WFN contract.

AxisCare Home Care Software has a lot of features that are helpful in the roles we play at [...] Arkansas. The support is fantastic! I do wish there were more features for users to store documents for themselves such as weekly task lists and monitoring forms that they would normally email to me or upload to Google Drive for storage. This however isn't something that would cause our company to switch software programs.

Usability
Lack of documentation and test environment make it extremely difficult to deploy work processes through the system. While there are a handful of things throughout the system that work well, particularly from an employee's perspective, many tasks, which would be simple for practitioner users in other systems, require these users to ask for administrator support. Additionally, the ghosts in the ADP machine cause established process (e.g. automated report delivery) to stop working with no notice and no error report.
Read full review
Once use to the system Axis Care is fairly easy to navigate and is a pretty clean system. I wish the main profile page for clients and caregivers were laid out more similarly (Ex: Classes for a caregiver are on the main profile page but the classes for clients are hiding under their billing tab. Another example is there's a Notes tab for clients but everything in that tab for a caregiver is located on their profile page) It would make it easier for new user training and knowledge retention if they were located in the same spots

Reliability and Availability

We had no issues with the availability of the system, it has been reliable so far, the only issues were geo location at some point due to staff being in rural areas, geo location will fail to pick up.

Performance
Overall, I think the functionality of the program works pretty well. Sometimes, certain browsers do not work well for the policy function of ADP, but that is the only issue thus far

Support Rating
Most of it is not local, which impacts barriers and customs. I do think they know a lot, but not the cohesive piece. Some naturally know more about certain things than others. The payroll section should be broken out more because payroll is a big topic with many problems, so it can be hard to get the right person who can actually help you.

They have been incredibly helpful and willing to assist with every situation we have encountered. There have been some instances where they were unsure of what the issue we were experiencing was or how to fix it. They attempted though and were very responsive.

In-Person Training
In-person training was pretty good - I think this significantly depends on the trainer. Our trainer was really good and showed what ADP can do - but I know that all trainers are not the same - and this truly makes such as difference. Overall, our training went pretty well.
Read full review
The training was easy to implement and understand. We had no issues completing all the training offered by the Axis staff. They were all very knowledgeable about the product and walked us through every step until the go-live day. We did the hand-holding until the end, our staff was very pleased with the patience of our trainers and thankful for their understanding, helping to be sure we were well-trained and ready for our go-live date. We are grateful. Thanks again to the trainers.

Online Training
At the time training was not as expansive as it is now. If it could go wrong it did for me so the process was difficult and lengthy. I needed to have more in person walkthroughs of things to ensure the transition was done correctly. Not sure what else I can say, we were part of the initial move to Workforce Now when it was introduced.
Read full review
I would give this training a high rating because it was thorough and easy to understand. The trainers were detailed and very helpful throughout the transition process. They promptly addressed any concerns or issues, making it simple to set up the new Axis system and app. The support received when we encountered minor issues was excellent as well; they worked with us until everything was functioning properly. Overall, the experience was smooth and effective, leading to a successful implementation of the system.

Implementation Rating
Either assign more than one specialist to the implementation process, or assign less clients to the implementation specialist. The process requires attention to detail and the ability to test and re-test as well as verify the information. It also requires a lot of back and forth between the client ant the implementation specialist, so they need to be readily available during the whole implementation process.

Alternatives Considered
I also used UltiPro (way back -- it didn't even appear in dropdown). Recommend ADP Workforce Now above all others. Paycor and Paycom were both very clunky. I even helped implement Paycom and could never get it to work how the business needed it to.

The number one reason we switched from Wellsky to AxisCare simply came down to one thing, vendor interaction. We found that it was difficult to reach out to and hear back from Wellsky's support during our last few months with them. From our exploratory call, to our onboarding, to now being 6 months into our time with AxisCare; we have always heard from AxisCare's support team in a timely manner and are very satisfied with their continual updates to their software.

Scalability
We have been able to grow with ADP from just a few hundred employees to over 10,000 so it's actually very scalable for payroll usage. We do not use the benefits and onboarding offerings for most of our employees but they are built to scale easily enough for when our corporate team has over 1,000 FTE.

Return on Investment
  • ADP Workforce Now handles all of our tax filing which frees up our time to do other things. They keep us compliant communicating updates on a timely basis.
  • Calculates payrolls accurately. Our management and employees have built a level of confidence due to the ease of pulling statements, year end documents etc.
  • A really nice feature is the follow up email what a change has been made to banking information. There were a couple of times the employee did not make changes to their account information. This kept their funds from getting routed into the wrong hands.

  • Accountability - can actually see who is doing what (or not doing what)
  • Efficiency - ability to enter bonuses and notes on each shift makes payroll much easier
  • Collections efforts - easily see who is behind on payments and what we need to bill for still. We have re-cooped $97k in missing receivables
  • Survey ease - we've had 1 survey since starting AxisCare and the process was 100x easier and OHA & the branch ED said it was the easiest survey they had gone through
