Experience Monitoring & Resident Communication
How does Candid collect resident and family feedback?
Candid conducts outbound surveys by phone and text, no app, no login, and no reliance on residents or families to fill in an online form. Our AI calls or messages residents and family members directly, asks structured questions, and captures responses automatically. This approach consistently achieves higher response rates than paper or email surveys.
When are surveys sent, and how often?
Survey timing and frequency are fully configurable. Common setups include post-move-in surveys sent 14 days after arrival, bi-annual satisfaction surveys, and annual family engagement surveys. You decide the cadence, and we handle the rest.
Can we customize the survey questions?
Yes. We work with your team during onboarding to configure question sets that reflect your care standards and the metrics you want to track. Our default libraries are aligned with industry frameworks, including CoreQ, and we can add or adjust questions to fit your specific needs.
Do you provide benchmark comparisons in the reports?
Yes. All reports include benchmark comparisons drawn from our dataset of tens of thousands of surveys conducted across various care levels, as well as industry benchmarks through our partnerships with leading senior living research organizations.
What is the resident communication hub?
The resident communication hub allows your team to send updates, announcements, and check-ins to residents and families through automated phone and text messaging. Residents and families can also call in at any time to submit work orders, share feedback, get answers to common questions, and more, without needing to track down a staff member. It is designed to keep everyone connected and informed without adding workload to your team.
Can each community be configured with its own name and phone number for outbound calls?
Yes. Each location is set up with its own community name and a local area code number for outbound calls. This means residents and families see a familiar local number rather than an unknown out-of-state line, which significantly improves answer rates.
