Program description
Dean and Grey Care operates an SMS program through Twilio under the A2P 10DLC Low Volume Mixed use case. The program serves two audiences: (1) family members and authorized representatives of residents, and (2) employees of Dean and Grey Care Services Inc.
Message types
- Appointment and care reminders for families and authorized representatives.
- Celebration and activity notifications about residents’ lives in our homes.
- Timesheet confirmations and shift coordination for employees.
Message frequency
Frequency varies. Recipients typically receive a few messages per week, though volume depends on the recipient’s role (family member or employee) and on what is happening at the home.
Opt-in
We obtain SMS consent through one of three methods, all logged and retained:
- Signed paper intake / consent form completed during onboarding, with a dedicated SMS-consent checkbox.
- Written request sent by email or direct message asking to be added to the program.
- Verbal consent given in person or by phone, logged internally with the date and the staff member who received it.
Opt-out (STOP) and help (HELP)
