Scheduling
For any care homes looking for a cheap way to turn on scheduling, I was able to build a pretty basic scheduling app on this platform in under 30 minutes. Happy to help if you want to do the same.
Watch a short video to see how it works and test out the sample at careloom.setmore.com.
Video Solutions
This video calling solution is so easy my 78 year old dad got it! Dead simple, click a link in a chrome browser and start chatting.
Combine these two and you’d have a pretty easy system to schedule calls for residents of care homes.
Other options:
Calendly
FaceTime
Google Hangouts
Zoom
