"Tell all staff at Maple: fire drill moved to 3pm." Done.
Agency-wide or per-home announcements with read acknowledgment, plus staff chat (direct messages, per-home channels, groups) inside the app. Ask Sereniq can post an announcement on your behalf: "Tell all staff at Maple house the fire drill moved to 3pm." The announcement goes out.
No external messaging app. No HIPAA-hostile group text. Announcements and chat stay inside the system, inside the audit log, inside your tenant boundary.
Announcements carry severity, acknowledgment tracking, and retraction, so you know who has read the fire-drill change. Chat covers the shift-to-shift conversation: a direct message to the house manager, a per-home channel, or a group for the nurses.
