Description

Live at HCAOA—30-minute conversation with Stephen Tweed, Founder/CEO of Leading Home Care


Highlights

  • Stephen Tweed on LinkedIn
  • leadinghomecare.com
  • Home Care CEO Forum
  • The big metric: Hours per week = the currency of home care
  • Lesson common but more important: Hours per client per week = the health of the business
    • It indicates:
      • Where clients are coming from
      • Which referrals give the longest hour clients 
    • Which referrals and clients have the longest length of stay and LTV
  • Hours per client per week + length of stay = $ value of the client
  • Next comes: Hours per caregiver per week
  • 3 types of caregivers: professional caregivers (40-60/hrs a week), half-time professional caregivers (20-30 hours a week), part-time intermittent caregivers (come and go) 
  • 4 levels of your ‘data stream’
    • Level 1: raw data
    • Level 2: information 
    • Level 3: knowledge 
    • Level 4: wisdom 
  • Clients and families want 2 things: reliability and continuity
  • Clients go through ‘5 phases of flow’: 
    • Phase 1: attraction
    • Phase 2: conversion
    • Phase 3: staffing
    • Phase 4: caregiving 
    • Phase 5: collections 
  • 2026 Future of Home Care Study
  • System = process + people
  • If you do a task weekly in your business, you need to systematize it. 
  • Applying AI: the task, the internal systems, and the competitive ecosystem (differentiation)
