About ZINGA
Ava is the better way to grow your homecare team. With Ava, caregiver retention, recruiting, and engagement are solved through automated performance incentives. By using Ava, you can become a destination employer for caregivers. Ava integrates directly with your preferred EMR, making it the trusted choice of over 5,000 agencies. Before Ava, the recruiting process had its ups and downs, but Ava changed everything by drawing in caregivers who were excited to work with us. Caregivers are immediately recognized for excellence in the field, and when they clock in and out on time and make multiple shifts sequentially, they are properly rewarded. The Ava buddy system provides instant support for any questions or concerns. Ava helps caregivers stay on task, clock in and out on time, and get things done. Plus, caregivers love the different gift cards they can earn through Ava. Ava offers caregiver rewards to unlock their full potential and optimize their behavior to meet your agency's goals. This leads to lower turnover and higher overall compliance. Ava also solves staffing issues by incentivizing caregivers to make referrals, resulting in higher word-of-mouth for new positions at your agency, and a 43% increase in retention. Additionally, Ava improves agency performance by lowering caregiver callout rates, increasing timeliness, and ultimately maximizing billing. Agencies regularly increase billable hours by 20% with Ava, while experiencing zero switching costs. Join the hundreds of top homecare agencies already benefiting from Ava's AI rewards platform.
