Audience overview in Riftjaw with daily audience, new contacts and most engaged people

Selling their own specialist services to care homes

Care homes provide residential and nursing care, run by independent owners, charities or larger groups. The registered manager handles daily operations and many suppliers, while bigger purchases in groups may go through head office.

Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.

Every month you do not reach care homes with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What freelancers run into with care homes

Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.

Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.

You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.

Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.

Care home lists from registers and directories are large and overlap.

Import them into one lead file with a key field such as website, and Riftjaw flags duplicates before you publish.

The registered manager is the right person but changes often.

Keep the manager in a field with the source and date, and update it when you learn of a change.

Questions people ask

Can I build a list of care homes from a public register?

Where a register is public, you can collect it yourself and import it into Riftjaw. The product does not sell or crawl data, it organises the list you bring.

How do I separate nursing homes from residential homes?

Record the Type of care in a field during import and save filters on it.

How do I get email addresses for care homes in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, manager@, admin@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
