Hey everyone! 👋
I noticed quite a few posts asking how to get caregiving clients from scratch, so I dug deeper into this topic. Here’s a quick summary of some simple, proven strategies to attract and retain clients:
🚀 How to GET More Clients:
- Show Up Online:Short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) is extremely effective. Pro Tip: Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds!
- Win Private-Pay Clients:Network strategically with doctors, elder-law attorneys, and financial planners.
- Secure Medicaid/Medicare Referrals:Build trusted relationships with hospital discharge planners and Medicaid case managers.
- Partner with Local Facilities:Collaborate with assisted living centers, rehab facilities, hospices, and hospitals to become their go-to partner.
- Tailor Your Marketing:Seniors want trust & safety, disability support emphasizes empowerment, pediatric care requires empathy and expertise.
🔒 How to KEEP Your Clients (Great Retention Tip from ): Do regular client check-ins. It’s as simple as calling to ask how things are going:
- Check in after the very first caregiver shift.
- Follow up every couple of weeks.
- Use honest client feedback to continuously improve your care.
- Share feedback (anonymously) across your agency, highlighting behaviors that need improvement.
- Send handwritten thank-you cards monthly - clients love personal touches!
If doing client check-ins feels daunting at first, remember: Exposure therapy works! You’ll quickly become comfortable, and your clients will feel valued.
