Home Care Pulse
The new BestofHomeCare.com is here, complete with verified client reviews and exclusive, qualified leads.
Here at Home Care Pulse, we’re excited about some major changes that are happening.
Many of you are already aware of BestofHomeCare.com, a website we launched in 2013 to help connect home care-seeking consumers with trusted and award-winning home care providers.
We’re pleased to announce that the website has been given a complete top-to-bottom redesign and relaunched with a host of new features including verified client reviews and exclusive, qualified home care leads.
Here’s what you can expect from the new site:
Detailed Agency Profiles
Reviews, contact info, and award information will be stored on agencies’ individual profile pages. These profiles will be landing pages that you can easily share online and doesn’t feature main menu navigation.
Profiles include a short bio provided by the agency as well as details including the types of services you offer, payment types of accept, and the geographic area that you serve. While geographic area was included on the old BestofHomeCare.com, we’ve made it quicker and easier to add the zip codes that you serve.
Exclusive, Qualified Leads
Best of Home Care listings continue to be free to agencies enrolled in the Home Care Pulse Quality Management Program, but now they can opt in to start receiving home care leads. These leads are exclusive, meaning they’re not shared with any other agencies, and qualified, meaning that we ensure that the lead is legitimate before we hand it off to you.
When a consumer goes to your profile and calls the phone number or fills out an information form, the request is directed to a member of our US-based team. Our team qualifies the lead for you by gathering information that includes:

Verified Client Reviews
Another central feature on the new BestofHomeCare.com is 100% verified client reviews. These are powered by the interviews that we conduct with clients and caregivers as part of our Quality Management Program, so consumers know that the authenticity of every review is guaranteed. Verified client reviews are a key part of our commitment to help home care agencies provide proof of quality.
Home Care Pulse will continue to support integration with Caring.com. Reviews passed to BestofHomeCare.com and Caring.com are unique to ensure there is no duplicate content.
Best of Home Care Awards
Along with verified client reviews, we help you provide proof of quality on BestofHomeCare.com by displaying Best of Home Care Awards your agency has won. While the old website displayed awards from the current year, your profile page on the new website will display all awards from past and present years. This was a highly requested feature that we’re including with the new update to better showcase your hard work and effort.
Besides these features, expect a brand-new, slick visual redesign and an easy-to-navigate user interface. We’ve pulled out all the stops to make the new site as intuitive and user-friendly as possible for consumers and agencies alike.
