The problem
A family looking for care for their mum will call the next agency if you do not pick up
Your carers are out on visits all day. Your coordinator is juggling rotas, medication charts, and family updates. When the phone rings with a new referral from a hospital discharge team or a worried daughter searching for home care, nobody is free to answer. Families making care decisions are anxious and time-pressed. They will not leave a voicemail when their parent needs help this week.
- 78% of families searching for home care will call another agency if they can't get through first time
- A new care package can be worth £2,000+/month in recurring revenue
- Hospital discharge referrals need a response within hours, not days
- A care coordinator costs £1,800+/month and still cannot answer every call while managing rotas

How Home Care Agencies Use Jodie
Hospital Discharge Referral
The situation: A hospital discharge coordinator calls at 4pm on a Friday with a new patient who needs a care package starting Monday. Your office staff have already left for the day.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, asks about the patient's care needs, mobility, address, and any medical conditions the care team should know about. You get a text with the full referral details so you can assess it over the weekend and have a carer lined up for Monday morning.
Carer on a Visit
The situation: Your care coordinator is out doing an assessment visit when a new enquiry calls about live-in care for their father.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks about the father's condition, what level of care is needed, the property setup, and when they would like care to start. The coordinator gets a text with the details to follow up after the visit.
Care Assessment Enquiry
The situation: A daughter calls asking about arranging a care assessment for her elderly mother who has been struggling at home after a fall.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the mother's current situation, what help she needs, her address, and the best time for an assessment visit. You get a summary you can use to schedule the assessment without a callback.
After-Hours Family Concern
The situation: A son calls at 8pm worried about his father's current care package. He thinks the visits are not long enough and wants to discuss increasing the hours.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers with empathy, takes the son's contact details, notes his concerns about visit duration, and reassures him that someone from the care team will call him back first thing. The message is waiting for your coordinator in the morning.
