The problem

Why home care agencies miss so many calls

A hospital discharge needs care arranged in days, so the agency that answers gets a package worth thousands a year.

When the phone rings out

  • out of hours, when families are together to talk
  • while coordinators are managing rotas
  • weekends, when hospital discharges happen

What they are ringing about

  • care at home for a parent
  • hourly rates and what a visit includes
  • starting care urgently after a hospital discharge

What that costs a single site

£200,600

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 27 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 9 a week, and one customer is worth £5,200 to a home care agency. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a home care agency actually works

Takes enquiries with the care needs and the address

Explains rates and visit lengths

Books assessments

Handles urgent discharge enquiries immediately

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a home care agency that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What home care agencies ask us

Are our enquiries really out of hours?

Most of them. Families discuss care in the evening and after a weekend hospital visit, which is exactly when coordinators are off.

Can it handle safeguarding concerns?

Anything on your safeguarding list stops the call flow and reaches your on call manager immediately.

Will it take care worker applications?

Yes, and recruitment calls are worth catching too, because carers apply to whoever answers first.

Hear it answer a home care agency call

Ring the number and ask it the awkward question your customers always ask. If you like what you hear, it will book you in there and then.
