When a family reaches out about care, who owns the next step?
A family might call, fill out your website form, or come through a referral — often when the office is busiest. What matters is whether someone is assigned to it, knows where it stands, and knows what happens next.
Home Care Lead Keeper starts with a free review of what families see when they try to reach you. If the follow-up behind it needs work, we help you set up a clearer process — without replacing your staff or your software.
An illustrative workflow — public website observations and internal staff processes require separate verification.
Writing an inquiry down isn't the same as following it through.
A voicemail reaches one person. A website form lands in a shared inbox. A referral gets mentioned in a meeting.
Even when people are trying to do the right thing, follow-up becomes difficult when responsibility, context, and next actions are scattered.
The goal isn't to add complexity. It's to help your team see what needs attention — and who's handling it.
Different people may see parts of an inquiry without knowing who is responsible for the next action.
Relevant information may sit in voicemail, email, notes, or separate tracking tools.
Without a clear status and next step, unresolved inquiries may require extra effort to check.
Four things every active care inquiry should make clear.
A practical framework helps staff understand who is responsible, where an inquiry stands, what is happening now, and what needs to happen next.
Assigned To
Who is responsible for moving this inquiry forward?
Status
Where does the inquiry stand right now?
Current Situation
What relevant context explains where things stand?
Next Step
What should happen next, who will do it, and when?
These principles can make handoffs clearer and unresolved inquiries easier to review. They do not require automatically replacing your existing software.
Lead Leakage Audit: Public Intake Path Review
See your inquiry path the way a family sees it. When someone visits your agency's website looking for care, is it clear how to reach you — and what they can expect afterward?
What we'll review
- Request-care and contact pages
- Phone and website inquiry options
- Visible forms and booking paths
- After-hours contact messaging
- What families are told to expect after reaching out
What you'll receive if accepted
- What we observed publicly
- Possible friction points
- Questions only your agency can answer internally
- Practical recommendations
This review looks only at what's public. It can't show whether inquiries were missed, how quickly your staff responds, or whether revenue was lost — those questions need internal information.
Free for eligible independent and locally operated Chicagoland home care agencies. Subject to review capacity. No purchase required.

Built around a clear next step
Home Care Lead Keeper is run by JayHanz Tan, a caregiver working in home care and a builder of practical digital systems. He brings a care-centered perspective to a focused question: can the team see who owns an inquiry and what should happen next?
Support for your intake team — not a replacement for it.
Home Care Lead Keeper does not provide round-the-clock call answering, clinical assessments, or guaranteed client acquisition.
Care Inquiry Keeper focuses on an agreed intake follow-up workflow. Agency staff remain responsible for communicating with families and making care-related decisions.
The free audit looks at public contact paths only. Reviewing internal agency operations requires separate permission and scope.
Before you request your audit.
Clear answers about what the free review includes and what happens afterward.
Is the Lead Leakage Audit free?
Yes. The Public Intake Path Review is offered free to eligible Chicagoland senior home care agencies, subject to available review capacity.
Do you need access to our intake records?
No. The free audit examines publicly visible website elements only. Internal workflow reviews are separate and require agency permission.
Can you tell us how many inquiries we've lost?
No. A public website review cannot establish missed inquiries, internal response speed, staff performance, or lost revenue.
Will Care Inquiry Keeper replace our CRM?
Not automatically. The standard service works within one suitable, approved system of record or tracker and an agreed follow-up process.
Do I have to purchase anything after the audit?
No. An accepted audit request does not require a purchase or appointment. Your team may be able to act on recommendations independently.
What happens after I submit the audit request?
We review the request for agency fit, website accessibility, duplicates, and current audit capacity. We then follow up by email about acceptance and expected timing. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.
