Seniors Helpers Franchise.com recently posted a blog with some interesting statistics about senior care.

“By 2060, it is estimated that the number of Americans ages 65 and older will make up an incredible 24 percent of the total population. That means 1 out of every 4 Americans will be classified as elderly. It is a figure that is nearly double the current 15 percent makeup of seniors. Yet, it is over the next few decades when that rate will change the fastest,” the blog reports.

With this in mind, a savvy marketing expert, or public health professional, will notice that there will be an increased need for senior care as there are more seniors across America.  The rate at which people are becoming seniors is increasing as the “baby boomer” generation crosses the threshold from late adulthood to senior citizen.

The same blog adds, “For seniors and elderly Americans, staying in their own private homes as long as possible remains a top priority. The vast majority of those Americans—80 percent—receiving assistance with their care, including those with functional limitations, opted to live in private homes rather than in institutions or specialized facilities.”

This means that many people will want to find care that allows seniors to stay in their own home.  For many aging adults, independence is a factor that leads to a happier, longer, more fulfilling life.  To achieve this, the senior may need assistance or companionship.  This is where the Elderly Care Companion industry enters the picture.  An elderly care companion can provide the kind of assistance a person needs as an aging person.

Elderly care companions need to stay organized to best treat their clients.  Whether a firm or as an individual, all in this industry can take advantage of CRM Software for Elderly Care Companions.

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Software is very useful in helping keep modern businesses organized and running efficiently.  This includes the organization of businesses related to the elderly care industry.  For example, this technology can track client information.  This makes reaching out to an emergency contact easier.  If a person under someone’s care requires medical attention, the companion will most likely be the one to contact family to alert them to the changes in health of the client.  CRM software tracks that information.  Access to the record on a mobile device means it is always handy and easy to update.

GPS functionality is another great tool in CRM Software for Elderly Care Companions.  A few clicks show a map view of the client’s location.  A street view tool shows the exterior of the building, so that you and your team know where you are heading before you depart.  GPS tools can even calculate mileage and bill accordingly on the invoice.

As the need for this kind of care is growing, so will the need for professionals to keep up.  This means CRM RUNNER can help.  Contact us today to learn more about this customizable CRM software.
