Built inside home care
Three years shoulder to shoulder with owners taught us what newer companies miss.
For agencies evaluating or currently using Phoebe
Fast outreach is not the same as a covered shift.
Your AI should run the workflow, follow your rules, and know when to stop.

Agency-configured operating rulesKey takeaways
- Zingage covers caregiver call-outs with ranked one-at-a-time outreach that stops when a caregiver accepts.
- Zingage answers an agency's existing main phone line through call forwarding. No new phone number is required.
- Agencies configure their own SOPs, routing rules, and guardrails. Zingage acts inside those boundaries and escalates exceptions with context.
- Agencies that switched from Phoebe described mass outreach, a separate phone number, and manual copying into their EMR.

Who is Zingage for, and who is it not for?
Built for

- Owners and schedulers who want AI to run inside their own SOPs, routing rules, and guardrails.

Not built for
- Agencies looking for a blast-outreach tool that messages every caregiver at once.
- Teams that want AI to make judgment calls outside the rules they configure.
- Businesses outside home care. Zingage is purpose-built for home care operations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about switching from Phoebe to Zingage
What is the difference between Zingage and Phoebe?
Zingage runs ranked one-at-a-time caregiver outreach that stops on acceptance, answers the agency's existing main phone line, and escalates exceptions with context. Agencies that switched from Phoebe described mass outreach to 10 to 20 caregivers at once, a separate phone number to manage, and staff copying responses into the EMR by hand.
Does Zingage require a new phone number?
No. Zingage answers an agency's existing main phone line through call forwarding, so caregivers and clients keep calling the number they already know.
How does Zingage handle caregiver call-outs?
Zingage contacts caregivers one at a time in ranked order, applies the agency's configured coverage rules, stops outreach when a caregiver accepts, and documents the acceptance.
What happens when a call is outside the AI's authority?
Zingage stops and escalates to the right person on the agency team with the full context of the conversation, so staff never finish unresolved work blind.
Who configures the rules Zingage follows?
Zingage maps each agency's SOPs, routing rules, escalation paths, and client-specific requirements with the agency's team before go-live. The agency defines where the AI acts and where it stops.
Is Zingage only for home care agencies?
Yes. Zingage is purpose-built for home care operations: caregiver call-outs, after-hours calls, scheduling communication, and back-office follow-through.
