Get real, actionable insights from your own calls. No new equipment, no system changes.
No disruption for staff. Instantly improve compliance, safety, and peace of mind—using the phones you already have.
Phones ring constantly in busy care environments. Often the calls that get answered are sales calls, while important calls are delayed, diverted, or passed between staff.
Each interruption costs time, focus, and continuity of care — and there’s rarely any visibility into what really happened after the call ends.
What those interruptions quietly cost
In a typical care home, it’s common to receive several unsolicited or misdirected sales calls each day.
If around 7 calls per day interrupt staff — often involving an initial answer and a second interruption when the call is forwarded — this can amount to roughly 25–30 minutes of lost staff time per day.
At an average fully-loaded staff cost of around £15 per hour, that equates to close to £1,800 per year spent handling calls that add no value to care.
This estimate doesn’t attempt to measure the additional cost of broken concentration or refocusing in a busy care environment.
