A level playing field for elder care providers

It doesn’t matter how big or small your marketing budget is, search hierarchy on Autumna is influenced largely by the amount of information you provide to families searching for care services on our site.

  1. A FREE standard listing on Autumna has over 50 searchable fields to help self-funding families find you.
  2. A PREMIUM listing on Autumna has between 200 and 300 searchable fields and allows you, through photos, videos and virtual tours to really show off the personality of your care offering.

A premium profile also means you can display the Choice Dining badge, the S.A.F.E infection control accreditation and link up your Digital Reception software to Live Ratings.

We want social care to be transparent for our clients and so Autumna rates your service by how open it’s ‘virtual’ windows and doors are.

Self-funders have a choice

Self-funders have a choice over who provides their later life care, and Autumna presents that choice in a format that is easy-to-navigate and easy-to-compare.

In the care home, live-in care and home care sectors, Autumna's Profile Strength indicator reflects the amount of up-to-date and relevant information that has been provided. The higher the Profile Strength the easier it is for self-funding families to find the answers they need.

Keep your availability updated

The more frequently you update your information - even if it’s just your availability status - the more it will help your Profile Strength indicator.

Check your stats and lead notifications

Whether you’ve listed one care service or 100, you can see really easily how your profile is performing on Autumna just by checking your stats, leads and notifications pages.

In addition, every care provider who has claimed a profile on Autumna, will receive a monthly email containing a summary of their stats, including details of any qualified referrals from the advice line team.

Opt in for SMS notifications

Very often the first care provider to respond to an enquiry generated by our advice line, with a caring and helpful call, goes on to get the placement. To ensure you never miss a lead and are always prompt with a response, an Autumna premium profile comes with a SMS lead notification service that you can easily opt into.

Why have we focused on self-funding families?

  1. Self-funding families rarely get the support they need to make an informed choice about their elder care. (Dilnot Report, Care Act, Competition and Markets Authority).

  2. We want to support care providers who offer good quality care - and we know the best way to do that is to ensure self-funding families can find them.
