For people who give children a place to call home

Spend less time on paperwork, more time on the kids

You opened your home to give children stability. Placestead handles the billing, tracking, and compliance so you can focus on what matters most — the young lives in your care.

Tools built around the way you already work

Replace the spreadsheets, paper logs, and scattered systems with one platform designed for people who run group homes — not the other way around.

Youth Tracking

Keep every child's placement history, status, and records in one secure place — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Billing Automation

Per-diem billing runs automatically. No more missed days, manual calculations, or revenue left on the table.

Sign-In / Out Kiosk

QR-code kiosks at each home make sign-ins fast and contactless — accurate attendance without the paper trail.

Staff Management

Invite your team, assign roles, and know exactly who has access to what — across every home you run.

Activity Logs

Every action is timestamped and recorded. When auditors come, you're already ready.

Multi-Home Support

Whether you run one home or ten, manage them all from a single dashboard with per-home detail.

Where the savings actually come from

Running a group home is expensive. These are real, common problems we built Placestead to solve — and the money and time they cost you every month.

Missed Billing Recovery

Stop leaving money on the table

The problem: Providers tracking per-diem on spreadsheets commonly miss 2-3 billable days per youth each month — small gaps that add up fast across multiple homes.

How Placestead helps

Placestead captures every placement day automatically. Billing is generated from real data, not memory, so you get paid for every day you provide care.

Staff Time Reclaimed

Give your team their hours back

The problem: Directors and house managers often spend 8-10 hours per week compiling sign-in logs, assembling billing sheets, and building placement reports by hand.

How Placestead helps

One-click exports and auto-generated reports replace manual work — freeing your staff to focus on the children, not the paperwork.

Audit & Compliance Readiness

Be ready when the state calls

The problem: When auditors arrive, scrambling through file cabinets, email threads, and scattered spreadsheets can cost days of stressful prep work.

How Placestead helps

Every action in Placestead is logged with timestamps. Pull any report in seconds — placement history, billing records, sign-in logs — all audit-ready.
