What is a residential care app?
A residential care application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to schedule visits with different residential care providers. The app may also include an admin dashboard for viewing detailed information about each user and provider.

How to successfully grow your residential care application
A residential care app can grow through referrals by focusing on the user experience for both new users and existing clients. For example, a residential care app could provide a free or discounted service for referring a new client. Residential care apps can also demonstrate their value to potential clients by showing them that they have the capacity to provide high-quality care for their loved ones.
Risks and challenges of building a residential care application
Residential care apps can face legal risks related to the handling of sensitive medical information, the protection of minors from potential harm, and the application of fair housing law. Residential care apps should take strong measures to verify user identities and provide safety mechanisms for reporting inappropriate behavior or abuse. It is recommended that residential care apps conduct security audits and provide robust mechanisms for reporting abuses, including spamming, bullying, and harassment.
