You already know reviews matter. But getting them? That’s where most senior care agencies struggle.
The truth is, your happiest families and referral partners are often more than willing to leave a review — they just need a little nudge and a lot of clarity.
And that’s where scripting comes in.
Here’s how to train your team to ask for reviews with confidence (and without sounding awkward).
But families won’t leave reviews unless you ask — and the ask has to feel human.
The best time to ask is when emotion and gratitude are high:
Train your team to spot these moments in the wild.
"Thank you so much — that means a lot. If you’d be open to sharing that in a Google review, it really helps other families find care they can trust. I can text you a link if that’s easiest."
Make it personal. Make it easy.
"Hey [Name], just checking in — and thank you again for the kind words last week. If you’d be open to leaving a quick Google review, here’s the link. It helps other families see what it’s really like to work with us."
Add it to your discharge or follow-up call script.
"Hi [Name], thanks again for choosing [Agency Name]. If you had a positive experience, we’d be grateful if you shared it in a Google review — it only takes a minute and makes a big difference!"

✅ Keep it short and specific
Don’t ask for a “testimonial.” Ask for a “quick review on Google.”
✅ Offer guidance
Let them know what to mention (e.g., “Our team’s communication,” or “the consistency of care”).
✅ Ask for permission
"Would it be okay if I sent you a quick review link?"
✅ Assign ownership
Every branch or team member should know who’s responsible for asking.
✅ Celebrate the wins
Make it a point to read great reviews aloud in team meetings. It builds morale *and* accountability.
Respond professionally, within HIPAA boundaries:
"We’re sorry to hear this. We take feedback seriously and would love to speak with you directly to address your concerns."
Never get defensive or reveal any PHI.
A strong review strategy isn’t about being pushy — it’s about making the ask easy, timely, and human.
