What is “accepting” a care request?
“Accepting” a care request is when a care provider accepts the request made by a care seeker for a connection as the Care Provider has the means to fulfill it within their service. Therefore, the care provider can begin their assessment process and onboard their new customer. By accepting a care request you are not accepting a care package but moving the request into the next step which would be a conversation or assessment to determine the level of care required.
When accepting a care request there is the option to deduct this from your availability on Pairly. This ensures your availability on Pairly remains up to date. Sometimes, you may choose to untick this box if you have found a space for a package outside of the regular availability you have already uploaded to Pairly.
As a provider, keeping your availability up to date ensures you can respond quickly to care seekers using the Pairly platform. It means you can accept a care request as soon as it comes in, rather than having to ask around the office and wait for a response from the appropriate team member.
