HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE DEMAND
Optimising support worker capacity
GenieConnect® doesn’t just empower recipients; it enhances the efficiency of support workers by redistributing care responsibilities. Through the platform, recipients gain the autonomy to choose when and from whom they seek assistance, empowering them to lead more self-directed lives. Enabling support from multiple sources alleviates valuable support worker capacity, reaching more adults needing care, thereby minimising gaps and improving overall service delivery.
