Caregiver Rewards That Make an Impact

This episode of Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars welcomes Joe Kraus and Linda Donev, a brother and sister team who have had a long and positive impact on the Home Care industry. Joe and Linda created the home care software that eventually became the Resmed / MatrixCare solution.  They're back for an encore performance with a new offering called Perks4Care. 

The episode starts with some fun brother / sister banter as they tell their story, but then they focus on what they learned from years of delivering caregiver rewards and how it inspired their product.

Some of their great suggestions for rewarding caregivers are as follows:

• It's better to give rewards often
• In addition to the monetary value of the reward, caregivers appreciate looking back at these accomplishments
• Gift cards make great rewards, but not every caregiver likes the same things (e.g., a Starbucks card isn't great for a caregiver who doesn't like coffee)
• Being able to cash in rewards and use gift cards on the spot is a great thing (and an app helps with that)
• Raffles (the chance for one lucky caregiver to win a big surprise each month) are a great way to enhance the value of the reward system

One of the things that I love about their offering is that they don't charge per caregiver per month and instead they just charge a small fee on top of the rewards that you purchase, PLUS they pay for the raffles out of their own profit.  This is why we'll be recommending Perks4Care to our Ankota customers.

Please enjoy the full episode with Joe and Linda and take the opportunity to learn more about their offering at perks4care.com.
