VoiceFriend enables providers to reach the right people with the right information at the right time.
Whether you’re operating a hospice, PACE program, home care agency or other community, your team spends hours every day trying to contact staff, seniors or families to notify them of important information—such as appointments and program reminders—all while dealing with a constantly changing staff schedule. It’s costly, time-consuming and frustrating.
With the VoiceFriend Notification Solution, you can schedule and send one-time or recurring alerts and reminders using phone, text messaging or email. In minutes, individuals, small groups or communities are informed via their communications preference—and even in their preferred language.
VoiceFriend helps providers:
- Improve staff productivity – Coverage for open shifts and appointments, training reminders, and family and senior notifications become simple tasks with VoiceFriend—enabling staff to stay focused on care for their seniors.
- Increase satisfaction levels – VoiceFriend ensures seniors and families are easily informed of changes in schedules and other vital notifications.
- Reduce costs – With VoiceFriend, missed appointments, staff overtime and time spent inefficiently on routine alerts and reminders are a thing of the past.
VoiceFriend in action at CarePartners Health Services
At CarePartners PACE program, the team provides comprehensive medical and social services to frail seniors in their community. CarePartners struggled with reminders for medical appointments, home care reminders, family updates and emergency alerts.
So CarePartners turned to VoiceFriend to help them address these challenges. CarePartners implemented the VoiceFriend Notification Solution and its easy-to-use messaging system.
The results? Their on-time appointments skyrocketed, grievances dropped to their lowest levels, family engagement increased and staff productivity significantly improved.
“With VoiceFriend, staff are more productive, appointment confusion is a thing of the past and families have been so appreciative of the timely messages.”

Safety and wellness checks made easy and more effective
VoiceFriend’s new Safety and Wellness Check Module provides three easy options for seniors to perform their safety or wellness check:
- Receive a phone call and press a number on the phone keypad to report their level of wellness.
- Call the community's designated phone number by a specific required time.
- Check in via their voice-activated Amazon Alexa-enabled device by simply saying “Alexa, tell VoiceFriend I’m okay.”
VoiceFriend automatically notifies staff of which seniors failed to perform their wellness check or need further follow-up, allowing your staff to prioritize their attention.
Customize your own follow-up questions
VoiceFriend also lets you customize follow-up questions such as “How are you feeling?” or “Do you have any questions about your medications?” to further ensure wellness and satisfaction.
