The answer is yours. Keeping it is Handovra Pro.
The worksheet answered today's question. Pro keeps the answer: the plan you just worked saved against the client it belongs to, re-opened at the next 60-day review instead of retyped, branded with your agency's logo and exported for the surveyor.
- Download the finished plan, policy or checklist as a file the surveyor accepts
- The paperwork goes out clean, without the Handovra watermark
- Re-open the plan at the next 60-day review instead of retyping it
- Your agency's logo on every document you print or send
- Send review requests to families and referrers from the record, not a spreadsheet
- Not part of Handovra today; billing stays with your biller
- Not part of Handovra today; your books stay where they are

Handovra keeps the paperwork a home care agency lives or dies by
-
Every client's care plan, current at every 60-day review
Medicare's conditions of participation have the plan of care reviewed no less often than every 60 days (42 CFR 484.60). Handovra keeps each plan against its client with the review date visible, so the next revision starts from the last one instead of a blank page.
-
One policy manual, sized to your services, not a borrowed binder
Surveyors read the manual against what the agency actually does. The policies builder works the manual's shape from your own services and staff count, and Pro keeps every policy with its review history in one place.
-
Audit-ready before the surveyor books the visit
A standard survey comes no later than 36 months after the last one (42 CFR 488.730). The compliance checklist works item counts and audit time from your own roster, and Pro keeps each completed checklist as the evidence trail.
Does the agency need a full care-management suite instead?
If you need scheduling, EVV capture, billing and payroll in one system today, buy a suite: that is what they are for. Handovra is for the agency whose pain is the paperwork itself: the plans, policies and checklists a suite treats as an afterthought.
