Why care operators choose ArrivSure over Sign In App
Sign In App is low-cost sign-in for workplaces and schools, and it's where SwipedOn and The Receptionist customers are headed. ArrivSure is built for care buildings: PBJ provider hours, resident census, survey-day alerts, and family feedback, all in one plan.

Why operators switch
Why care operators pick ArrivSure
Built for the work a care building does
Sign In App's care home page covers visitor sign-in, staff time and attendance, evacuation lists, and a log of inspector visits. ArrivSure goes into the work behind the front desk: every provider visit becomes a draft PBJ entry with sign-off and XML export, residents are tracked out and back with overdue-return alerts, your administrator and DON hear when state surveyors check in, and vendor credentials get a monthly OIG exclusion check.
Sign In App's emergency messages are sent by your coordinators from templates. ArrivSure also checks weather, hurricane, wildfire, smoke, and river feeds every 5 to 15 minutes near each building, with playbooks built around the CMS emergency-preparedness rule and two-way roll call by text.
Sign In App's Core plan costs less than ArrivSure. The pieces a care building leans on sit higher up: ID scanning and the pre-visit registration portal start at Enhanced, credential tracking is on Enhanced and Pro, and post-visit surveys come through Scheduling on Enhanced and Pro. ArrivSure is $249 per location per month with PBJ, census, credentialing, surveys, reviews, and the Emergency Hub included.
A short private survey at checkout. A low score, a keyword, or a “no” alerts the right manager by text, email, or push. Every visitor then gets the same review invitation for Google, Yelp, Facebook, or Trustpilot by email or opt-in text. Sign In App publishes post-visit surveys through its Scheduling product.
SwipedOn has joined Sign In App, and The Receptionist says it's planning to move its customers to a Sign In Solutions product, with no date published. If you're changing systems either way, choose one built for senior living and skilled nursing. ArrivSure is month to month, so you can go live before your renewal.

PBJ provider hours from front-desk visits
Agency staff, therapists, and physicians become draft PBJ entries with CMS job code, NPI, and pay type. Sign-off at the kiosk or by text link, pre-export checks, and PBJ XML for iQIES.
National Weather Service, National Hurricane Center, NIFC wildfire, NOAA smoke, AirNow, river gauges, lightning, and FEMA, checked every 5 to 15 minutes.
Families thank a team member at the kiosk or in the Visitor Portal. Once you approve it, that employee is notified and it goes up on your recognition wall.
