Upliv is care management software for self-managed home care in Ontario. It puts scheduling, timesheets, payroll workflow, and records in one easy place so you can save time and reduce admin.
Upliv handles the payroll and bookkeeping work that tends to eat up your time: payroll runs, employer records, and clear reporting. You stay in control of your care. We keep the admin organized and easier to manage.
Upliv is an independent platform and is not affiliated with Direct Funding Ontario. We support people navigating self-directed care by helping with the admin side of managing support. We operate separately from Direct Funding Ontario and from any Independent Living Resource Centre (ILRC).
It should take a lot less time. Most people go from "hours of chasing paperwork" to "minutes of approving hours." Most self-managers spend hours each month tracking timesheets, organizing receipts, and double-checking reports. With Upliv, you send approved hours and any updates, and we handle the payroll workflow and keep your records clean so reporting feels straightforward instead of stressful. You’ll always know where you stand.
Usually just:
We keep the process simple and repeatable so payroll does not take over your week.
A lot of self-managers feel like the system expects perfection. Upliv helps by keeping payroll consistent, records complete, and reporting clear, so you are less likely to run into avoidable errors or last-minute scrambling.
Yes, on the admin side. We help you keep pay tracking clean across multiple staff and changing hours. We are not a staffing agency, but we can make payroll and documentation easier when life happens.
Yes. Setting up a hire is one of the biggest time drains. We help you get payroll set up properly and keep your records organized so you are not rebuilding your system every time someone joins.
Generally, participants are not permitted to hire immediate family members under the Direct Funding Program. If you are unsure what counts as "family/household" in your situation, we can help you understand the rule and set up payroll correctly for eligible attendants.
Direct Funding Ontario says the program welcomes new applications, and interview timing varies. Some pages note an average wait that can be "less than a year," and the waiting list page currently notes applicants may wait around six months before an interview invitation. This can change; your local ILRC is the best source for your region.
Yes, Direct Funding Ontario states self-managers are required to keep a written record of hours worked, and the method can be individual (paper or electronic).
Start with the option that fits how you already manage your care and we will help you set it up smoothly.
