Frequently asked

How do I know when it is actually necessary to take a patient to the ER?
Robin Conn explains that before Empowered Endings, she struggled to know the right time to seek emergency care. Now, she can text or call Dr. Bob, describe her concerns, and receive immediate guidance on whether to handle the issue at home or go straight to the hospital. — Robin Conn
Can medical services like labs and physical therapy be done at home?
Yes, according to Robin Conn, Empowered Endings brings labs, specialized physical therapists, and massage therapists directly to the patient's house. This keeps patients in their 'cozy beds' and 'favorite chairs' rather than sitting in waiting rooms for hours. — Robin Conn
Is the relationship with Empowered Endings strictly clinical?
Robin Conn notes that it is a personal relationship built on trust; patients even look forward to visits by putting on makeup and clothes to see Dr. Bob. She describes the team as having 'wonderful souls' who engage in personal conversations, not just medical checks. — Robin Conn
How can I manage a home care sales rep who is always out in the field?
Jim Pitzner noted that overseeing a home care consultant is challenging because they work remotely with various providers. He found that HomeCareSales provided the necessary accountability, reporting, and account-level reviews to ensure his rep, Claire, was being effective even when he wasn't with her. — Jim Pitzner
Is there specific training for home care consultant positions?
Yes, Jim Pitzner highlighted that HomeCareSales offered very specific training for the home care consultant role, which was something he had not seen before or had access to elsewhere. — Jim Pitzner
How do you get referral partners to welcome sales visits?
Jim Pitzner explained that the HomeCareSales system focuses on providing valuable educational resources rather than just asking for referrals. This approach makes providers look forward to visits because the consultant helps solve their specific issues. — Jim Pitzner

I need help with getting clients for my home care

Based on interviews with HomeCareSales customers · September 2, 2026

HomeCareSales customers have recorded 9 first-hand video interviews with Share One since January 2026. Every figure below is a count of what those people said on camera — not a survey, a clinical trial or a marketing claim.

Asked what changed for them, 5 of the 9 described more clients, leads or patients, and 4 described revenue or income growth. One of them put it this way: “Some of the more cluttered thoughts that I had in my head in terms of like what marketing on behalf of Libertana looks like, she's really been able to simplify, and it's actually turned into, I think we saw a 35% incr…”

On timing, 4 people described how long it took before they noticed a difference. The most common answer was 2 – 6 months (2 of them).

HomeCareSales is not the only source of evidence here: 16 interviews across 7 organisations touch on home care sales, which is what makes the comparison on this page worth reading rather than a single company's testimonials page.

In their own words:

“I think we saw a 35% increase in the number of contacts that we have here as an agency, which also led, I think, to like a 12% increase in the number of leads.” — Denise Ambayec

“My biggest successes were being able to break through into hospitals and start getting referrals.” — Greg Thelusma

“I really believe over the 90 days plus that home care sales has been working with our business developers, I see we've gone from just activity to outcomes.” — Ralph Laughton
