Incoming Call...

Family Member

"My mother needs end-of-life care. Can we schedule a consultation to discuss our options?"

The Problem

HOSPICE CARE PROVIDERS
MISS CRITICAL CALLS

Families call in crisis at 2 AM and get voicemail. Admissions inquiries go unanswered for hours. Your care team is stretched thin managing urgent patient needs while phones ring endlessly.

Families Can't Reach You in Their Time of Need

A daughter calls at midnight about her father's declining condition. She gets voicemail. Panicked, she calls another hospice provider who answers immediately. By morning, she's already begun the admissions process elsewhere.

The Cost
$18,000/patient
Lost admission revenue

Your Care Team Is Overwhelmed with Administrative Calls

While your nurses provide bedside care, phones ring with admission inquiries, insurance questions, and medication refill requests. Clinical staff can't focus on patients while managing endless administrative interruptions. Critical care gets delayed.

The Cost
80+ calls/day
Per hospice location

Consultations No-Show and Families Disappear

An intake coordinator schedules a family consultation. The day arrives—no one shows. One follow-up call goes to voicemail. That's it. The family chose a provider who stayed in better contact, and a patient who needed your care never received it.

The Cost
35% no-show
