Quite the contrary! A Thoughtful Engagement® program allows you to offer additional services to clients once they are stabilized and do not need your intensive care management support.

Our licensees report an increase in revenue and smoothing of their cash flow: Fewer dips in the months following the onboarding and original incident. Remember, the skills needed for a Thoughtful Engagement® Specialist are distinct from the skills needed for a care manager. You don’t send a Thoughtful Engagement® Specialist to accompany a client to the doctor. They are specialists in a social program and only provide enrichment activities.

In addition, there are ways to market the program to draw in new clients through Thoughtful Engagement® who then decide to add care management once they have more experience with the company.

It varies by the licensee’s own timetable. The quickest we have had is a three-week turnaround from signing the paperwork to taking on their first client. That licensee was motivated and highly responsive. On average it takes one to two months, depending on whether you have a specialist in mind already or need to find one.

This unique position requires JOY, organization, and creativity. That’s it! Perfect for an empathetic individual with only limited experience working with elders. A student nurse or social worker. Or an experienced care manager looking for a fun, low-intensity way to continue in the field without the intensity of medical advocacy, emergency call, and difficult family dynamics. (Think of it as a great retirement option or option for a staff member with young children.) We provide materials to help you with recruitment and training.

First, approach the program as your commitment to quality of life. You have an exclusive service that focuses on those elusive but very important factors of purpose, meaning, and joy for individuals in need of help. It is also your answer to the need for families to get some relief.

“Reigniting joy for your loved one. Relief for you!”
