Caring Homes Case Study

Caring Homes partners with TrustedCare Calls to improve sales performance.

Client Overview

Caring Homes owns and operates a portfolio of residential and nursing homes across the UK. Established in 1994, Caring Homes have steadily grown their portfolio of homes and established themselves as a leading premium brand with the sector. Primarily focused on attracting & supporting the care needs of privately funded care-seekers.

Challenges

Caring Homes were one of the first providers to outsource the handling of inbound telephone enquiries to a central team. Their rationale for this was simple; to better understand their client journey and ensure the same exceptional level of customer service is achieved across their wide-ranging portfolio of homes.

Caring Homes employed the services of a professional contact centre, they had both dedicated call handlers on their account & use of the “bureau” during busy periods. Unfortunately, the bureau team did not have the required skills to put care seeker's at ease and capture an in-depth understanding of their care needs.

Due to not fully understanding the complex nature of ‘care’, nor the emotional situation which most care seekers find themselves in, the contact centre was missing sales opportunities and not delivering on the core brand values set by Caring Homes.

After researching & mystery shopping alternative call answering solutions, Caring Homes moved their contact centre to TrustedCare Calls, the UK's only care-sector specific sales centre.

What was Achieved

  • Greatly improved customer service experience
  • Higher number of enquiries qualified and home visits booked
  • Improved data capture for the homes and wider business
  • Care seeker feedback on home visits
  • Closed enquiry outcomes recorded
  • Complete oversight of the sales journey
