Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for home care agencies
Home care decisions are usually made by adult children, often in their 40s to 60s, who are very active on Facebook. Empathetic, trust-led creative and free care consultations help families take the first step.
Facebook is also one of the best channels for recruiting caregivers, but job ads must run under the employment Special Ad Category, which restricts targeting.
Health and wellness tracking rules
Meta may restrict health advertisers from optimizing for lower-funnel events. I check Events Manager for restrictions and plan campaigns around permitted events and lead forms.
Common problems I fix
- Caregiver shortages
- Targeting restrictions on job ads
- Families delaying decisions
