AzuriConnect vs agencies vs WhatsApp groups
Many care facility operators use all three at different times. This table explains when software, agencies, and informal groups each make sense.
| Topic | AzuriConnect | Staffing agency | WhatsApp / informal |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Software for small care facility staffing and compliance documentation | Third party that places caregivers and charges fees | Informal group chat for names and availability |
| Who employs caregivers | You remain the employer; you hire and supervise | Varies; often adds placement layers and fees | You remain the employer |
| Credential enforcement | Rules you set are enforced before booking | Depends on agency screening | Manual trust; no system enforcement |
| Inspection-ready records | Designed to document eligibility and shift decisions | Limited visibility into your facility's records | No structured audit trail |
| Caregiver fees | Caregivers never pay to use AzuriCare | Often placement or subscription fees | None through the app |
| Best for | Owner-run care facilities that want control and documentation | Last-resort fill when you cannot source staff | Quick introductions without compliance proof |
AzuriConnect is not a staffing agency and does not employ caregivers. You remain responsible for hiring, supervision, and compliance with applicable federal and state requirements.
