Home care visit verification app

Verify every home care visit with a photo

By the LockProof Team · Last updated July 20, 2026

A home care visit verification app answers one question: did this visit actually happen? Not that a phone clocked in near the address — that the caregiver was there and did the care. LockProof answers it with a live photo. The caregiver taps a text link, the camera opens, and the photo comes back with a server-set time, sealed so no one can change it — plus the location when the caregiver shares it. You keep your certified EVV system as your system of record — EVV is a Medicaid mandate, and LockProof does not replace it. LockProof is the photo-proof layer that works alongside it: the proof a visit happened, in a form your office and a family can both see.

Do I still need my EVV system?

Yes. Medicaid-funded agencies must keep their certified EVV system as the system of record — LockProof does not replace it and is not a substitute for EVV compliance. It sits alongside your EVV as the visit’s photo-proof layer: a live photo of the visit with a sealed time — and GPS when the caregiver shares location — your office and the family can both see.

What is a home care visit verification app?

It records that a home care visit really happened. The caregiver taps a text link, takes a live photo at the client's home, and it is filed with a server-set time, and GPS when the caregiver shares location. Not a clock-in that says a phone was nearby — a photo that shows the visit, sealed so it holds up if a payer or a family asks later.

How is this different from an EVV clock-in?

An EVV clock-in proves a phone was near the address at a time. It says the caregiver arrived; it does not show the visit or the care. LockProof captures a live photo of the visit itself, with a sealed time and GPS when the caregiver shares location, so you can show what happened, not only that someone checked in.

Do caregivers need an app or a login?

No. The caregiver taps a link in a text and the camera opens — nothing to download, no password to forget, and it works in English and Spanish. The link opens a live camera only, so the photo is taken at the client's home, not chosen from a camera roll later. One tap per visit.

Can a visit or its photo be faked?

The link opens a live camera only, and gallery uploads are blocked, so an old photo can't be attached. Reminder timing is randomized, so a visit can't be staged early. Every photo carries a server-set time the caregiver cannot change and a SHA-256 fingerprint, so any later edit to the record is detectable.

Can a family see that the visit happened?

Yes. Each visit is filed as a record you can share as one signed link. Send it to a son or daughter and they see the live photo, the place, and the time, without a phone call. If a family or a payer ever disputes a visit, the proof is already on file, dispute-ready.

How a visit gets verified

Four steps, and nothing for the caregiver to download.

  1. Schedule the visit. The caregiver gets a text with a link — no app, no password to forget.
  2. The link opens the camera. It’s a live camera only, so the photo is taken at the client’s home, not chosen from a camera roll.
  3. The record is sealed. The photo is filed with a server-set time, and GPS when the caregiver shares location, fingerprinted with SHA-256 so any later change to it shows.
  4. Share it. Every visit lands on your dashboard, searchable, and shares as one signed link the moment a family member or a Medicaid auditor asks.

What each verified visit carries

  • A live photo of the visit, taken through the link with the gallery blocked
  • GPS recorded on submission when the caregiver shares location, flagged for you if it lands beyond a set distance from the client’s address
  • A server-set timestamp the caregiver cannot change
  • A SHA-256 chain of custody on every visit record
  • Visit check-in and check-out, without following the caregiver between visits
  • A dashboard that marks each visit done, late, or missed
  • An Evidence Vault you can search by client, caregiver, or date
  • A shareable signed proof link for a family member or a payer
  • No caregiver app or login, in English and Spanish

Why a visit record matters now

Visit-billing fraud is prosecuted, and the scrutiny lands on honest agencies too. In 2023 the owner of a New York licensed home-care agency was sentenced to 54 months in federal prison for billing Medicaid more than $100 million for personal-care visits that were never made — aides logged as working while they were home, running errands, or on vacation (U.S. Attorney’s Office, S.D.N.Y.). Cases like that raise the bar for everyone: when a payer or a family asks whether a visit really happened, an agency needs a record of the visit, not just a clock-in that a phone was nearby. A live photo, filed with a sealed time — and the location when the caregiver shares it — is that record — on file before anyone asks, dispute-ready.

A clock-in vs. a visit you can show

An EVV clock-in is built to bill Medicaid: it records that a caregiver arrived. That is a different job from showing the family the visit happened. Here is what each record actually carries.
