Incoming Call...

Case Worker

"Hi, I have a 16-year-old male that needs placement. Do you have any beds available?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We have an opening in our Maple House—ages 15-17, co-ed facility. Would you like to schedule a home visit?"

The Problem

YOUTH GROUP HOMES
LOSE CRITICAL PLACEMENTS

You're losing placements every day your beds sit empty. Case workers call after hours, families no-show to visits, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Emergency Placement Calls After Hours

A case worker has a youth in crisis at 9 PM, calls your facility, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already placed the youth with another home that answered immediately.

The Cost
$8,500/month
Lost per empty bed

Your Staff Is Overwhelmed with Coordination Calls

While you're meeting with a therapist, three more calls come in. Case worker inquiries, family visit requests, medication questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Case workers get frustrated waiting, and you lose placements.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per facility director

Family Visits No-Show and Trust Breaks Down

You prepare the youth for their family visit, arrange supervision, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up call that goes to voicemail. That's it—the opportunity is lost, the youth is disappointed, and case notes reflect poor engagement.
