Buying home care leads: what you know before accepting someone

Understand the information supplied to your care service. Compare the initial details with your own needs assessment and the services you offer.

A new care enquiry gives your service a concrete starting point: someone seeks help at home and has shared initial details. You can introduce your services in relation to that situation. When buying, consider which preparation the enquiry already provides and which work your team undertakes before potentially accepting someone into its care.

Four details with different uses

webRichtung supplies enquiries from Germany with the enquirer’s perspective, requested support, preferred start, service location and contact details. This comparison supports purchasing decisions. The clarification questions describe your own tasks, not additional delivered fields.

  • For themselves, a relative or another person: You know the contact’s perspective. Your own clarification: Who should participate in the next needs conversation?
  • Stated support area: You recognise the initial concern. Your own clarification: What specific help is actually needed?
  • Preferred start: You know the timing preference. Your own clarification: What start can be agreed around your capacity?
  • Service postcode and town: You know the regional context. Your own clarification: How does the precise address fit your provision?

The benefit is informed access to an expressed need. You start with information your team can explore personally.

Two enquiries can require different clarification work

In a hypothetical example, a daughter seeks companionship and household help for a relative in the coming weeks. Your service offers this support. You can clearly explain your possibilities and discuss scope and preferred visit times. The category alone does not contain a complete visit plan.

In a second example, someone seeks medical care for themselves as soon as possible. The support area gives your team direction but contains neither a German care grade nor prescriptions. Your service personally clarifies the details and whether provision is possible. “As soon as possible” is a preference, not a confirmed start.

For purchasing, this distinction means allowing time for your team to understand the need and coordinate internally. That work can arise before you know whether accepting the person is possible.

Compare the enquiry scope with your services

Concern categories include personal care, medical care, companionship and household support, and an undecided search. They are not ordering filters. A service with a broad offering can assess several concerns. A provider focused on one area should consider the whole potential enquiry scope in its purchasing decision.

The same applies to the region. You can order nationwide Germany or a German postcode with a radius of at least 50 km. Compare this scope with your actual operating area. The supplied location helps your assessment; it does not replace checking your service’s specific capabilities.

Connect new contacts with a manageable scope

The monthly limit caps regular deliveries per calendar month and promises no quantity. When choosing it, include first contact, personal needs assessment and internal coordination. This gives a potential working relationship room to develop before care is agreed.

Standard enquiries go to no more than three providers. webRichtung sends exclusive enquiries to one provider only; your own acceptance assessment remains necessary. Register your service and prepare the order in webRichtung Customer. The current price is visible before a binding order. Use the existing reason for a conversation to introduce your service to new people.

Frequently asked questions

Is a German care grade supplied with the enquiry?

No. The form records the area of support, but no care grade or prescriptions. Your service establishes the necessary details personally.

Whose contact details do I receive?

Those of the person enquiring. They may seek support for themselves, a relative or another person. This does not confirm authority to represent someone else.

Can I select household support only?

The support area is enquiry content, not an ordering filter. Choose industry, area, delivery option and monthly limit for your order.
