The steps

  1. Day 1: Acknowledge enquiry and book intake call within 24 hours
  2. Day 2: Run intake call covering goals, preferences and current situation
  3. Day 3: Send service agreement and care plan template
  4. Day 4: Receive signed agreement and confirm worker matching
  5. Day 5: Match worker(s) and arrange meet-and-greet
  6. Day 6: Meet-and-greet held
  7. Day 7: First service delivered

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Letting onboarding stretch beyond 7 days (loses momentum)
  • Skipping the meet-and-greet (worker-participant mismatch)
  • Service agreement signed without participant understanding
