Coordinate Care and Keep Families Informed via WhatsApp
Schedule caregivers, send visit reminders, update family members on patient status, manage medication schedules, and coordinate home care services - all through WhatsApp.
Adult children worry about their elderly parents. They call constantly asking "How is mom today?" "Did the nurse come?" "Is she taking her medicine?" You're fielding calls all day.
Caregiver Scheduling is Chaotic
Nurses call in sick, shifts change, patients reschedule. Coordinating who goes where and when is a full-time job. Missed visits mean upset families.
Medication Compliance is Poor
Elderly patients forget medications. Caregivers aren't always there for every dose. Family members can't verify if medicines are being taken on time.
Post-Surgery Care Lapses
Patient discharged after surgery needs wound care, physio, dietary restrictions. Without regular follow-up, complications arise and patients end up back in hospital.
New Inquiries Need Fast Response
Family member searches for home care for their parent. They message 5 agencies. First one to respond properly gets the business. Slow response = lost patient.
Caregiver Communication Gaps
Handoff between shifts is poor. Day nurse doesn't know what night nurse observed. Important patient information falls through the cracks.
When families reach out, instantly provide service details, pricing, and next steps to convert inquiries into patients.
