Online caregiver search and selection service, epiCura, leverages technology to bridge the gap between at-home care for seniors and a vast network of caregivers. With a vision to revolutionize home care with a human touch and a digital approach, epiCura partnered with Vonage to address the challenge of reaching large volumes of providers in an effective way.
“By using Vonage’s Proactive Connect solution, epiCura was able to meet this challenge and improve our outreach efforts, enabling us to connect with more caregivers than ever before,” said Giuseppe Conte, Operations Manager of epiCura. “This ultimately helped epiCura fulfill our mission of providing high-quality at-home care to seniors, while also creating a more seamless and efficient user experience.”
