# How to Add an Ad-Hoc Visit

## An ad-hoc visit in domiciliary care refers to an unscheduled or one-off care visit arranged to address a client's immediate or unexpected needs. To create one :

1\. Go to Rota Section 

2\. Navigate to the **People** tab and use the search bar at the top to find the required person.

3\. On that person’s rota, either click directly on the rota calendar, or go to the **Actions** button at the bottom-right of the page and select **Add Ad-Hoc Visit** to open the pop-up.

4\. You can select an existing CSA to pre-populate the visit with default values, or click **Next** to create a blank ad-hoc visit and enter the details manually.

5\. Select the staff member(s) to assign to this ad-hoc visit.

6\. Once all details are reviewed, click **Save** to publish the visit onto the rota.

 

📝 Ad-hoc visits allow you to quickly schedule additional visits outside of the regular rota.
