KARE Launches NASTi: The “Not Another Staffing Tool” That’s Actually Free and Deploys Before Lunch 

The senior living industry is drowning in “solutions” that are anything but. Today, KARE announces the launch of N.A.S.T.i (Not Another Staffing Tool for the industry), a project designed to end the scheduling chaos with a price tag everyone loves: $0.

Let’s be honest: the last thing the world needs is another clunky, overpriced piece of shelf-ware that takes six months to implement. That’s why NASTi is different. It is a completely free scheduling and time & attendance platform that can be deployed in just two hours.

“We looked at the landscape of legacy software and realized the bar was incredibly low. Operators are paying thousands for tools that just tell them what they did wrong 30 days ago,” said Charles Turner, CEO of KARE. “NASTi is our answer to that absurdity. It’s free, it’s instant, and it turns labor management from a retrospective headache into a proactive advantage. We aren’t just launching a product; we’re starting a movement to stop the bleeding of operational budgets.” 

Rules Before Reports: Stop Cleaning Up Messes Unlike traditional platforms that generate month-end reports highlighting costly errors, NASTi prevents them from happening in the first place. The platform operates on a “Rules Before Reports” philosophy. Administrators set guardrails for overtime, shift swaps, and care hours per resident upfront, and NASTi enforces them in real time. 

“The industry has been conditioned to accept ‘report chasing’ as a management style,” said Lindsay Evans, VP of Product. “We built NASTi to kill the chaos. If a shift swap is going to trigger overtime, the system blocks it or flags it instantly. We’re giving operators the power to control their P&L in the moment, not just apologize for it later.” 

Two Hours to Total Control While competitors demand months of implementation meetings and integration fees, NASTi respects your time. The platform is designed for rapid scalability, allowing single communities or entire portfolios to go live in under two hours.

“We know you don’t have time for another ‘implementation project’ that drags on until next fiscal year,” said Danae Mierau, VP of Customer Experience. “Our goal was simple: make it fast, make it intuitive, and make it work. You can literally deploy NASTi across your portfolio in the time it takes to watch a movie. It’s flexible enough for your SOPs, but rigid enough to stop the labor leaks.” 

  • It’s Free: No license fees. No “premium” tiers. Just free labor cost control. 
  • Rapid Deployment: Go live in less than 2 hours and scale effortlessly. 
  • Smart Punching: Geo-located clock-ins eliminate the “I forgot my badge” excuse and stop time-theft dead in its tracks. 
  • Staff Flexibility: Employees own their schedules by swapping shifts within the company’s pre-set rules, keeping staff happy and coverage seamless. 
  • Control Costly Errors: Prevents poor staffing decisions that negatively affect your bottom line.
