Turn fall-risk conversations into new clients

Able Assess gives home care agencies a tangible, science-backed way to demonstrate value from the very first conversation — helping you win more clients, keep them longer, and stand out in a crowded marketplace.

The commodity trap — and how to break out of it

To the untrained eye, caregivers can look similar on paper. Pricing is comparable. Trust is built on intangibles — which makes conversion a coin-flip and retention fragile.

Agencies that differentiate with clinical-grade insight break out of the commodity trap. Able Assess is the physical, measurable, easy-to-demo tool that makes your value impossible to ignore.

  • 1 sensor — one handheld device, trained on in minutes, ready on the first visit
  • Under 5 minutes — to run a full Able Assess baseline with a prospect
  • 4 measures — grip, leg strength, gait, and balance, predictive of fall risk
"The physical device is the differentiator — science, physicality, a measurement. We should be doing this on every single open, establishing a baseline and checking back periodically."— Owner, Private, Multi-Site Home Care Company

How Able Assess drives conversion

A four-step path from first handshake to long-term client.

1. Open the door

A hands-on demo at senior-living events and expos becomes an instant conversation starter. Prospects engage physically — not just verbally.

2. Prove your value

Establish a grip-strength baseline on the first visit. Families see a number, not a sales pitch — and instantly understand why ongoing care matters.

3. Differentiate your brand

Position as tech-forward and clinically informed — without stepping outside a non-medical scope. Few competitors can match this story.

4. Retain and expand

Periodic re-measurement surfaces decline early, triggering new care recommendations (such as PT referrals) and deepening family trust.

Not just another app

Most fall-risk tools are phone apps that claim to measure gait from a pocket. For older adults and their families, that feels abstract.

Able Assess is different. Clients squeeze it, see their score, feel the progress. That tangibility converts skeptics into believers, and prospects into clients.

Fast to deploy

No IT project. Caregivers are trained in minutes and can use it on the first client visit.

Non-medical safe

Fits cleanly inside a non-medical scope of practice while signaling clinical sophistication.

Family-friendly data

Shareable results give adult children peace of mind — a major driver of retention.

Integrates with your EMR

Designed to port baseline and progress data into the systems you already use. (Contact us to learn more.)

A real-world conversion story

"In our client pipeline, our lowest conversion rate is getting them from initial interest to first assessment. Our numbers show that if we get to that assessment, the chances that they convert to an actual client are very good. So if you increase your likelihood of getting an assessment by 50 percent, you're going to increase your sales. We are using Able Assess to offer a free fall-risk assessment on the first call in order to help improve that conversion rate."— Owner, Right at Home Franchise
