AI for home care agencies

AI for Home Care Agencies That Answers Families Compassionately, Around the Clock

Boafo Agent gives home care, live-in care and domiciliary care agencies a branded AI Employee that answers family questions with empathy, captures structured care enquiries and routes urgent cases to your care manager, 24 hours a day.

Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.

What's getting in the way today

  • Families enquire late at night and weekends, when reception is closed.
  • Reception is overwhelmed by repeat questions about services, hours and pricing.
  • Urgent post-discharge cases get lost in a generic contact form.
  • Care coordinators are pulled off care duties to handle enquiries.
  • Generic chatbots feel cold and damage trust at exactly the wrong moment.

How a Boafo AI Employee works for a home care agency

We train an AI Employee on your services, care types, areas covered, CQC information and tone of voice. It answers families in a warm, plain-English style and never pretends to be human.

Routine questions (services, hours, areas, regulator status, broad pricing ranges) are answered immediately. Sensitive or urgent conversations (hospital discharge, safeguarding, end-of-life) are flagged and routed to your care manager within minutes.

For new enquiries it gathers the basics your team would ask for: who needs care, what kind of support, where they live, when it is needed and how to contact the family. The structured brief lands in your inbox and Google Sheets ready for assessment.

Optional discovery-call booking drops a slot straight into your registered manager's Google Calendar.

Example conversation

Visitor:My dad has just been discharged from hospital and needs help at home.
AI:I'm really sorry to hear that, and glad he's home. So we can match him with the right carer, can I ask a few quick questions about the support he needs?
Visitor:Of course.
AI:Thank you. What kind of support is most pressing right now: personal care, medication prompts, meals, mobility or companionship? And which area is he in?
Visitor:Personal care and meds, twice a day. We're in BS7.
AI:Got it. I'll pass this to our care manager as a priority and they'll call you within the next two hours. What's the best mobile number to use?

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe for vulnerable families?

Yes. The AI Employee uses a warm, plain-English tone, never pretends to be a person, never gives clinical advice and routes urgent or safeguarding conversations to your care manager immediately.

Does it replace our carers or coordinators?

No. It removes admin and enquiry load from reception and coordinators so they can focus on care delivery and assessments.

How does it handle pricing questions?

It shares broad pricing ranges if you choose, and always frames a proper assessment as the next step. It will not commit to a per-hour rate without your team.

Can we control the tone?

Yes. We tune the assistant's voice with you during onboarding and review real conversations weekly.

Is the data secure?

Yes. Conversations are stored in your tenant only, with strict row-level security and UK and EU data residency. Read more on the security page.

How long does it take to go live?

Most agencies are live within a week. We train on your services, areas and tone of voice and brand the widget before launch.
