What the phone looks like for a Portsmouth care home
Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 550,000, built on defence, maritime and a dense terraced housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a care home working across Southsea, Fratton and Cosham most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A family looking for a placement is usually in crisis and will place with the home that answered and sounded kind.
Callwise answers on your own 023 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Portsmouth care homes ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Portsmouth customers reach you changes.
Do you work with care homes outside Portsmouth?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Portsmouth and everywhere across Hampshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
These are difficult calls. Is it appropriate?
It is calm, patient and never rushes anybody, and it says it is an assistant. Families in distress usually mind an unanswered phone far more.
Can it discuss fees?
It gives your published ranges and books a visit, where the real conversation about funding belongs.
What about emergency placements?
Those can be flagged to reach your manager immediately at any hour, which is when most of them come in.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Portsmouth customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
