Introducing Smart Home Safety Evaluations

SmartAutomations.Care started with the phones. We built a way to capture those calls automatically, organize the information, and make sure it was documented in the right place. Suddenly, intake calls, caregiver call-offs, and schedule updates stopped being a burden on the person answering the phone. The system handled the notes, created the profiles, and left the team free to focus on solving the problem in front of them.

We are bringing that same idea to the home evaluation.

With Smart Home Safety Evaluations, we are bringing automation to the first in-person visit. Anyone who has been in this field knows how much information is gathered during that first home visit. You are looking at the physical environment, noting hazards, assessing accessibility. You are also listening to the family, learning what matters most to them, and starting to build trust. A lot of that information winds up written on paper, or typed into a form after the fact, or sometimes never fully captured at all.

The challenge is that those first details matter. They shape the care plan, they guide which caregiver might be the best fit, and they help the family feel seen and heard. If they get delayed or lost, you are left playing catch-up.

Smart Home Safety Evaluations can change that.

Now, the details from that first visit flow straight into the client profile. No one has to retype them. No one has to remember later. By the end of the evaluation, the profile is no longer just a name, address, and potential care schedule. It is a fuller picture of the person. Their hobbies and interests. The routines that make their day feel comfortable. Notes about their living situation and how social they are. Alongside those personal touches, the system builds a complete care plan based on the visit.

The difference is not small. Instead of the office chasing paperwork, the care plan is ready for review. Instead of a profile that feels incomplete, you have one that shows the whole person. And instead of staff spending extra time on data entry, they can spend it where it really matters: following up with the family, preparing the right caregiver, and making sure the client feels supported from day one.

This is the same philosophy we have always had at SmartAutomations.Care. Technology should not pull your team away from people. It should operate in the background, doing the documenting, so your staff can focus on the relationships.

We have already seen how this approach works on the phones. Agencies using our system save over 50 hours of time for every thousand calls we process. More importantly, their staff feels less bogged down in the busywork and is more able to engage with caregivers and families. Smart Home Safety Evaluations builds on that same foundation.

Think about the first impression your agency makes. A family invites you into their home at what is often a stressful and vulnerable time. They want to know that you are paying attention, that you see their parent or loved one as more than a case on a list. When the details from that visit are captured fully and clearly, it shows in the care that follows.

That is why we are so excited about this new feature. It is not just about saving time, though it does that. It is about building a better foundation for care. The system takes care of the documentation so your team can do what they do best, support people.
