Improve Communications with Seniors, Care Givers and Families
Operating a senior living facility or home-care program is no easy task. Reliable and timely communications with residents, staff, care-givers, and families is critical. In some cases, you may need to reach out directly to residents, while in others, notify families of policy changes, facility matters, or upcoming events. When shifts need to be filled, communicating with off-duty or substitute workers may be the need.
Independent Living Needs - Independent residents are just that - independent. They may live in attached housing surrounding a center, or in apartments found within a center. Their daily schedules are mainly their own, but they may take part in some central services, such as meals or activities. Using GroupCast to reach independent seniors is a perfect use of our service.
Example: Lutheran Senior Services of St. Louis uses their GroupCast account to reach the independent residents living on their campus with news, facility updates - such as when a elevator is out of order, or to remind them of activities or meetings. Since the messages arrive as recorded phone messages, the residents are comfortable with the technology immediately.
Assisted Living. Assisted living residents make heavy use 
centralized services and most often reside within a central facility with common areas for meals and activities. Keeping families informed and engaged with the community can be a challenge. Using GroupCast as a community outreach program is an ideal use of our service.
Example: Many assisted living centers will have special coordinated events, especially around the major holidays and will need to coordinate with attending families on meals, parking and other needs. Use GroupCast to stimulate RSVP's and to keep registrants informed of plans for each event.
Skilled/Long-term Care. Coordinating the care for those who 
cannot care for themselves is often the greatest challenge of a senior living administrator. Thus communicating with staff and volunteers can be one of the greatest needs. GroupCast is the ideal solution for communicating with large groups of employees, working different shifts and for coordinating volunteer activities.
Example: Use GroupCast to manage your volunteer's by reminding them of shifts or openings that need to be filled. Coordinate extra volunteers for special events or use to spread news regarding facility updates.
