How census grows

Three levers grow census. We pull all three.

Census rises when the right families find you, more of them start care, and you have the caregivers to serve them. Most firms work on one of these. We run all three and report the result every week.

The measure we answer to is net census. In Nashville, active clients rose from 120 to 167 (+39%) in six months, after 55 discharges.

Who we work with

A specialty firm for home-based care.

We work only in home-based care, with established agencies (typically $3M+) where private-pay clients drive most of the revenue.

Private-pay home care

Personal care, companion, dementia and 24-hour care. We recover the inquiries you already get, run client campaigns you can staff, and recruit caregivers when capacity is the limit.

Private duty nursing

Private-pay skilled and nursing care at home, including home care agencies adding a nursing line. We speed up family and referral-source inquiries and recruit the nurses your cases need.

Usually not a fit

Agencies paid mainly through Medicaid waiver programs, hospice, and staffing registries. Their growth depends more on contracts and reimbursement than on intake and marketing, and we say so on the first call.

In their words

What owners say.

“They refused to touch advertising until the intake process was fixed. That was the first time anybody had said that.”
Owner, Harmony Care of Portland
“The 90 days got us from 14 admissions a month to 23. We stayed on because the weekly ledger still shows us exactly what’s slipping.”
Owner, First Health Home Care
“Six weeks in we were at 19 new clients a month. The big change wasn’t more leads. The ones we already had started converting.”
Owner, Thompson Home Health of Charlotte
