About

DSPsystem Staff

Features
Read full description

DSPsystem Staff is the mobile app for direct support professionals in IDD residential care — group homes, supported living and residential programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Built by a former DSP, for the people on the floor. Everything for your shift, in one place — no paper logs, no group texts, no juggling apps. YOUR SHIFT ON ONE SCREEN See your current shift, what's planned today, and what's left to check before you go — the moment you open the app. TWO-TAP, GPS-VERIFIED CLOCK IN Clock in and out in seconds. Punches are saved even with a weak signal and sent as soon as you're back online, so your hours are never lost. OPEN SHIFTS COME TO YOU Get notified when a shift opens, see every shift you're eligible for, and pick one up from your phone. Request time off, call out, or swap a shift without the phone tree. YOUR SCHEDULE IN YOUR POCKET Week and month views of your shifts, who you're working with, and one tap to message a co-worker. INSPECTION-READY, EVERY SHIFT Your home's checks in one list — Overdue, Due today and Coming up — with plain-language instructions. Log a check in one simple sheet: OK, needs attention or N/A, fixed on the spot or follow-up, plus notes. DRILLS AND EMERGENCY READINESS Log fire and emergency drills with evacuation times, see which shifts still need a drill this quarter, and read and sign your home's emergency plan. HOURS YOU CAN TRUST See every punch in your pay period, regular and overtime hours, and request a correction right from your timecard. HANDOFFS THAT NEVER GET LOST Shift handoff notes land in front of the next person on shift, with who wrote them and when. Team, home and direct messages stay separate from your personal texts. HOME OPERATIONS Shift checklists, the home calendar, your home's contacts with tap-to-call, maintenance requests and supplies — from your phone. SECURE BY DESIGN Optional PIN and Face ID / fingerprint app lock. Your organization controls who sees what. DSPsystem Staff requires an account from your organization. Ask your administrator for your Organization ID and login.
