Where seniors need home care most

What it does

Every month: the blocks of your city with the most people over 60, the home care providers within 2 km, the seniors per provider, the 20 most underserved blocks emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Toronto, count who lives around, sort them by seniors_60_plus and keep the top 50, count the home health care services within 2 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by seniors_per_provider and keep the top 20, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Home care demand follows where older people live, not where offices are. This flow shows the underserved blocks so recruiting and marketing go where the need is.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
