Unite Us

When it comes to #socialcare, knowing you need help is often the first step—figuring out how to get help is second. ?? Public resource directories provide helpful lists of social care services and organizations — but also put the onus on individuals to navigate complicated systems on their own. The key?? to social care transformation is making sure people are not just pointed toward resources, but are actually connected to the services they need. That’s where closed-loop referral systems come in.?? ? Unite Us' closed-loop referral platform tracks every referral from start to finish, ensuring individuals receive coordinated, informed, hands-on support throughout their entire care journey. Plus, providers can follow up and chat in real time, ensuring the connection is made and that care continues until all needs are met. By bridging the gap between identifying services and accessing them, we remove the burden from individuals who are often overwhelmed by the complexities of the #healthcare and #socialservice landscapes. Because it’s often not just about locating the right help—it’s about getting the coordinated support you deserve, every step of the way. ??
