Families reassured, safeguarding escalated instantly, enquiries captured with care.
One number. 4 departments behind it, each answered by an AI that reads only that department’s knowledge.
Incidents, safeguarding concerns, family emergencies.
Handles: fall, incident, safeguarding, emergency, hospital, concerned
Rules it follows
Any safeguarding concern, allegation or incident goes to a person immediately and is never discussed, assessed or minimised by the AI. Never disclose anything about a resident to an unverified caller.
Treated as urgent: safeguarding, abuse, fall, hospital, missing, police, incident, died
Availability, fees, assessments and visits.
Handles: place, availability, fees, cost, visit, assessment
Rules it follows
Quote fees only from the published schedule and always say an assessment confirms them.
Visiting, updates, day-to-day questions.
Handles: visit, visiting, update, how is, laundry, activities
Rules it follows
Verify the caller's relationship before discussing anything about a resident. Never give a health update — take a message for the care team.
Invoices, payments, statements, refunds and account queries.
Handles: invoice, bill, payment, refund, statement, owe, direct debit, vat
Rules it follows
Verify the caller before discussing any account detail. Never read out card numbers or full bank details. Never agree a refund, credit, discount or payment plan — always pass those to a person. If the caller disputes a charge, take the details and escalate rather than defending the charge.
Treated as urgent: court, bailiff, legal action, cut off, disconnected, final notice, threatening
It rings each of that department’s numbers in order — the desk, then the mobile, then whoever’s on call. If nobody answers, it comes back on the line and says so, rather than leaving your customer holding or dropping them into voicemail. It takes their details, and you get told: a text and a WhatsApp message if it sounded urgent, an email if it didn’t.
Your caller is never told a ticket was opened. They’re told a person will ring them back — because that’s what they actually want to hear.

Desk, mobile, on-call — it tries each one before it gives up.
Your own voice
Give each department its own voice and greeting, or clone yours.
Your hours and holidays
Per department and per site, including bank holidays and shutdowns.
Your languages
Each department can answer in its own, and route to whoever speaks it.
