Grace
Home Care Intake & Expert Consultation
Your compassionate home care specialist. Grace provides empathetic intake for families seeking elderly care, captures detailed needs, and seamlessly connects them to care experts — with timezone-aware scheduling and multiple transfer protocols.
CAPABILITIES
What Grace Does
Empathetic Family Intake
Listens to callers' concerns about elderly loved ones with genuine warmth. Captures caller name, relationship, patient name, timezone, and care needs — all through natural conversation, not a robotic form.
Verbatim Concern Capture
Records primary concerns and ADL (Activities of Daily Living) details in the caller's own words — so the home care expert understands the full picture before the consultation.
Dual-Protocol Expert Connection
Protocol A — Callback: Checks expert availability via Google Calendar, presents time slots in the patient's timezone, schedules consultation, and sends SMS confirmation. Protocol B — Hierarchy: Attempts live transfer to the expert. If unavailable within 20 seconds, falls back to human receptionist or callback scheduling.
Instant Human Transfer
When a caller says "I want to speak to someone," Grace transfers immediately — no data collection required. The human connection always comes first.
Smart Scheduling & Reminders
Timezone-aware scheduling ensures appointment times are always in the patient's local time. Google Calendar integration, SMS confirmations via QliqSOFT, and automated outbound reminder calls before consultations.
