The Problem

RESPITE CARE FACILITIES
LOSE FAMILIES IN CRISIS

Exhausted caregivers call at 2 AM desperate for help. Beds sit empty while families can't reach you. Your staff is overwhelmed juggling intake calls and resident care. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Families Need You Most

A caregiver hits burnout at midnight, searches for respite care, and calls. Voicemail. By morning, they've already booked with a facility that answered. You lose the family and a bed stays empty.

The Cost
$4,200/week
Lost per empty bed

Your Staff Is Drowning in Intake Calls

While caring for residents, intake calls flood in. Assessment questions, availability checks, pricing inquiries—your staff can't provide hands-on care and answer phones simultaneously. Families get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per care coordinator

Families No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You schedule a facility tour, prepare the welcome packet, and wait. They don't come. You send one follow-up text that goes unanswered. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty bed.
