Whether you're a founder opening your first office, a multi-location franchise scaling across states, or a program director managing I/DD, adult day, or self-direction services, Ankota brings the entire operation into one platform - so your team spends less time chasing paperwork and more time delivering care. Who Ankota is built for: - Non-medical home care agencies that need dependable EVV and clean Medicaid claims I/DD and LTSS providers managing complex care plans and waiver billing - Adult day program coordinators tracking attendance, transportation, and billing - Self-direction FMS organizations supporting participant-employed caregivers - Multi-payer agencies juggling private pay, VA benefits, LTC insurance, and state Medicaid What makes Ankota different: Most home care platforms force a tradeoff between simple-but-limited and powerful-but-painful. Ankota is built for agencies that need real operational depth - multi-program support, complex billing rules, EVV aggregator connections - without the steep learning curve that usually comes with enterprise systems. The drag-and-drop scheduler, AI-assisted visit approval, and clean-claim engine are designed to remove the daily friction that wears administrators and schedulers down. Key capabilities: - GPS-verified EVV with AI-assisted visit review that flags exceptions before they cost you - Drag-and-drop scheduling with conflict detection and open-shift broadcasting - Multi-language caregiver mobile app - built for diverse workforces - Family portal with visit updates and shared calendars that reduce inbound calls - Medicaid and private-pay billing with clean-claim generation - Payroll generated directly from approved visits - no double entry - HIPAA-compliant with role-based access controls - Public API and EVV aggregator integrations for state compliance Implementation and ongoing support: Ankota's implementation team works directly with your agency to map your existing workflows, payers, and programs into the platform - so you're not handed a login and left to figure it out. Ongoing support includes a dedicated customer success contact, a knowledge base, regular training webinars, and a help team that actually understands the realities of home care operations. Trusted at scale: More than 10,000 agencies use Ankota nationwide. The platform has powered over 164 million care visits and currently supports more than 710,000 individuals receiving care. That track record matters when you're trusting a system with state audits, payroll runs, and the people your agency serves. Ready to see if Ankota fits? If you're comparing home care software, schedule a personalized demo. The team will walk through your specific service mix, payers, and pain points to show you exactly how the platform would work for your agency - no canned pitch, just a real conversation about your operation. > > Verdict: Rated **4.1/5** by 7 users.

Not hours or days to get a response and resolution. Innovative: If they don't have the programming you need. They'll probably build it. > > **Cons**: Still has some improvements needed. They are working diligently on them. Rome wasn't built in a day. > > Super amazingly patient with me and my company. ----- ### "Ankota Review" — 4.0/5 > **Trey** | *29 November 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customization the system allows. Ankota can literally tailor to your needs. They work with you continuously to get exactly what you want out of the system. > > **Cons**: Along with the customization of this system, it may take a little longer than usual for implementation and to get all the kinks worked out. > > My overall experience is really good. They really work with you to meet your needs. We are fully compliant (and then some) with our state EVV regulations. ----- ### "Ankota calendar" — 3.0/5 > **Julie** | *30 March 2017* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy step by step entry and selection of dates and times. You can spot duplicates easily, for they are in RED. Mileage feature is in RED. You can hover over to see information. Location to location feature seems to be working. > > **Cons**: When certain features change without notice. The colors on the calendar slots changed. (availability/working) now contain start and end times, which seems like a duplication and takes up space on the dispatch board. The template does not have a start and end feature. It would be nice to create a calendar on a month to month basis, due to changing of schedules may occur, instead of over-riding all the time. Re-occurring feature to block off meetings that occur on a specific day and time that can block off any appointments to be scheduled. > > I use this product daily to enter and schedule appointments. It is easy to use and I am content with the product. ----- ### "Exceptional service" — 4.0/5 > **Sean** | *29 March 2017* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to create custom reports. Using scanners, we can pull metrics for each workers productivity, as well as tracking each individual step of our process, to address errors when they take place. The estimated times for delivery are really quite accurate. The information allow the dispatchers to give an ETA to customers inquiring without having to call the drivers directly. The customer service is quite exceptional and very responsive. > > **Cons**: The system can be a little unforgiving from time to time. Unable to add delivery stops during the routing. Forces you to start over. ----- ### "Ankota System Review" — 5.0/5 > **Donna** | *10 April 2017* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Intuitive, Great Customer Support and Service, Efficient, Captures all aspects of our business needs for managing client and caregiver information. > > Many of my daily tasks are streamlined because of the Ankota system. I can sort and filter reports according to the data needed. The Customer Service Support Team is prompt and knowledgeable. They offer valuable suggestions and feedback to my inquiries. During any conversation, if I casually mention a nice-to-have or wish list item, their technology team makes it happen. I am constantly looking forward to upcoming enhancements to the system because of their creativity and thoughtful insight. The best part about this system is how it is tailored to the unique needs of your business. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/32580/ankota?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/32580/ankota) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
