When I first started, I knew the importance of having a system that would track contacts and a calendar. I used Microsoft contacts and calendar. That was a good choice for me. The notes on clients I wrote out and later typed the notes and counted the time by hand. As I grew the business, I started looking for a system that would cut down on the time I was spending at billing time. Unfortunately, I made the decision to go with computer people that were cheap, and cheap products is what I got. I had to scratch several!

Going with JewelCode was a life saver because it had already been tested and used by other care managers and the bugs worked out. That alone saved an incredible amount of time. Looking back, I thought at the time I was making the right choices based on my income, However, I would have saved big bucks had I started with JewelCode from the beginning. As a business owner, it is a hard call as to when to make such a purchase, but if you are in it for the long haul, there is no comparison in working with a tried and true product such as JewelCode.
