Home Health and Hospice Caregiver Videos from Care Documents

The direct answer: Extend the care team’s explanation into the home. Golpo turns approved instructions into calm videos caregivers can replay when the question comes back at night. Start from the branch folder, an approved script, or the nurse’s recording. Golpo drafts the narration, you approve the script before the video is created, and the file sits beside the handout the nurse already leaves in the home.

This guide is for home-health agencies, hospice programs, palliative-care teams, and family caregiver education leaders. Four document-grounded videos are below, one for each moment families actually hit: the first visit, a transfer checklist, the comfort kit, and after-hours routing. Each was generated from the linked PDF. No narration script was supplied. Hands-on competency, the plan of care, and patient-specific orders stay with the care team.

Four moments, and why the layout changes

A caregiver meets a thick folder on a hard day, then has to move someone safely, keep a sealed kit straight, and choose the right phone number at 2 a.m. Those are different pictures.

• First visit, Canvas Editorial Expanded, 1:55. The folder opens section by section: who comes, what is assessed, what to have ready, the visit plan, and rights. Expanded gives each section its own room so a tired family is not reading a crowded page.
• Transfer checklist, Canvas Illustration Expanded, 2:19. Setup, the gait belt, the chair, the assisted stand, and the stop conditions are staged one action per scene so the order is readable. Generated illustration can orient someone to that order. A physical transfer that must be copied belongs in an approved real demonstration clip, inserted with Own Media, with generated diagrams kept for the surrounding orientation. Example 2 is the illustrated checklist.
• Comfort kit, Sketch Professional Clean, 2:05. Line art fits a sealed kit: why it is there, inventory, storage, who may direct use, documentation, and disposal. The picture stays procedural. A qualified professional directs any use. The video does not select a medicine or state a dose.
• After hours, Canvas Sharpie Compact, 2:22. Compact keeps the five routes on stage together, with large labels, so a caregiver can see which lane they are in. This is the after-hours routing video: routine changes, same-day concerns, urgent symptoms, equipment failure, and emergencies.

In the API, an unsuffixed style value selects Expanded and _compact selects Compact. Compact vs Expanded.

Four source-to-video workflows you can inspect

Each card keeps the source, the brief that was sent, the visual direction, and the finished video. Open the PDF and follow along.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Your First Home Health Visit. Explain the start-of-care folder, who comes, what is assessed, what to have ready, the visit plan, and patient rights. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Open the folder section by section and end on the documented contact routes. Do not imply eligibility or coverage. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Caregiver Transfer Checklist. Explain setup, gait-belt checks, chair positioning, the assisted stand sequence, stop conditions, and documentation. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Demonstrate the checklist sequence only. Emphasize that hands-on competency must be verified by the care team. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Understanding the Comfort Kit. Explain why the sealed kit is delivered, inventory and storage, who may direct use, documentation, and disposal. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Show the kit as sealed until a nurse directs otherwise. Never state or imply a dose and never select a medicine for a symptom. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Who to Call After Hours. Explain the call tree for routine changes, same-day concerns, urgent symptoms, equipment failure, and emergencies. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Build the five-lane routing map with the exact phone numbers and response expectations printed in the guide. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Controls that keep a caregiver video calm and exact

• Agency visual identity. Save a Custom Style from the agency’s public materials or a written description, then reuse it in Canvas or Sketch so the first-visit video and the call tree look like the same organization. Business and higher. API use also needs API access. The style is a recognizable look, not pixel-exact typography. The four videos here use built-in styles. The next renders can share one saved style.
• Familiar nurse narration. Own Narration builds visuals around a recording the nurse has agreed to. The recording sets the duration and the spoken language. A language setting leaves that audio as recorded. Voice Clone reads later scripts in that saved voice, with permission. Both are on Business and higher. Voice Instructions, on Creator and higher, can ask a generated voice for a slow pace and a pause before each phone number. Voice Instructions do not create the nurse’s voice. These four videos use generated narration.
• Large staged instructions, and a real clip when the body has to move. Expanded scenes stage a transfer one action at a time. Compact scenes hold a call tree in one view with large labels. Compact vs Expanded. Own Media, on Business and higher, inserts an approved transfer or device clip. Use that clip for the physical technique. Use generated diagrams for the folder, the sealed kit, and the routing map. A generated body is an illustration.
• Contact variants and language variants, with a named reviewer. A branch phone number lives in that branch’s source document. Script Mode is how you supply the number when it must be spoken exactly. About 1,050 characters of supplied narration fit in a selected minute. Picture directions go in Video Instructions. Each language is a separate render. Creator and higher include multilingual features, and Starter can add a language option. A named reviewer owns meaning, routing, and accessibility for that variant. See pricing.
• Labels limited to the script. On-screen text from script only, on Canvas and Sketch, limits generated labels to the script. It may show a subset. It is not the caption track, and it does not verify the source.

The visual directions on this page include a line, FIGURE LOCK, that tells the model to copy every number from the document. That line is a prompt instruction. Reviewers still compare every phone number, visit window, and other figure with the PDF. The prompt does not hold those figures in place.

Workflow for one orientation topic

1. Source. Start with the approved handout families ask about most often. For routing, that is the after-hours guide. For a physical skill, that is the transfer checklist plus an approved demonstration clip the agency already uses in training.
2. Settings. Apply the agency Custom Style. Use Canvas Sharpie Compact for the call tree so the lanes stay together and the labels stay large. Use Canvas Illustration Expanded for transfer orientation. Insert the approved transfer clip with Own Media, and keep generated scenes for the setup and the stop conditions. Select the nurse’s Own Narration or Voice Clone when you have consent.
3. Script review. Prompt Mode drafts narration from the document. That is how these four videos were made. Open Edit script before creating video. Read every number, stop condition, and “who decides” line against the source. Use Script Mode when a phone number or a stop condition must be spoken exactly.
4. Result. Example 4 is the after-hours routing video, playback 2:22, Compact, from the after-hours guide. Example 2 is the transfer checklist, playback 2:19, as generated illustration. Example 1 is the first visit, playback 1:55. Example 3 is the comfort kit, playback 2:05. The hybrid transfer, with the real clip beside the diagrams, is the version to render when the skill is physical.
5. One correction. When a branch number changes, update the source, then the script. If the narration is right and only the on-screen number is wrong, use frame editing. The first edited version is free across sessions until finalized. Later charges follow the selected duration of that version. The edit changes the picture. A spoken number changes through a new render. The FIGURE LOCK line leaves that correction with the reviewer.
6. One reuse. Render the same call tree for a second branch, or a reviewed language variant, with the same agency style. Name the reviewer on the variant. The agency’s own record holds source version, branch, language, and owner.

What Golpo does, and what the agency does

Scale includes API access. Business can add API access as a paid add-on. API Only is metered separately and does not include dashboard generation. The API can request a render and report status. Review and publication stay with the agency.

Plan, duration, and credits

A standard video costs 1 credit per selected minute. Playback on this page is 1:55, 2:19, 2:05, and 2:22. The selected duration for those renders is not recorded here, so this page does not state a credit total. Custom Style is on Business and higher. Voice Clone, Own Narration and Own Media are on Business and higher. Frame editing: all paid plans. You can download Golpo's free 1-minute video without a watermark for $9.99, or subscribe to download it at no extra charge. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Review checklist

• Every phone number, visit window, and other figure matches the source document. The FIGURE LOCK line in the prompt is not that check.
• Added facts, dropped stop conditions, and frames that imply a medicine, a dose, or a competency sign-off are corrected before release.
• Where the plan requires a demonstration, staff observe it and document it. The comfort-kit video covers storage, inventory, documentation, and who to call. A qualified professional directs use.
• Patient-specific orders and the plan of care remain the instructions for that person. The video is the general orientation.
• Each branch variant and each language variant has a named reviewer for meaning, routing, accessibility, and source version. Captions, contrast, and player controls are checked on the page where caregivers will play the file.
• If a vendor creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI for a regulated entity, answer the business-associate, security, retention, and minimum-necessary questions for that workflow. This guide does not call any setup HIPAA compliant.

Frequently asked questions

Can the video certify caregiver competency?

No. Where the plan requires demonstration, staff must observe and document it.

Can the comfort-kit video say which medicine to use?

No. It can explain storage, inventory, documentation, and who to call; a qualified professional directs use.

How do branch-specific numbers stay correct?

Put them in the versioned source document, generate from that document, and compare every number with it before publication. A prompt line that says to copy every figure is not a lock. On-screen text from script only limits labels to the script and does not verify them.

Can we produce language variants?

Yes, but each language output needs qualified review for meaning, routing, accessibility, and source-version alignment.

Does this replace the plan of care?

No. The plan, orders, labels, and direct instructions remain controlling.

What is a safe first project?

Pilot the orientation topic caregivers ask about most often, such as start-of-care logistics or the after-hours call tree. Measure correct routing and whether the caregiver can explain the step. A reduction in all care calls is a separate question.

Pilot the orientation families ask for most

Choose one topic caregivers ask the branch to repeat, often the after-hours route or the first-visit folder. In Golpo, generate it from the current handout, review the numbers and the stop conditions, and give it to the next families who receive that handout. Measure whether they route the next call correctly and whether they can explain the step. Keep hands-on skills on the visit, with a real clip when the motion itself has to be shown. A drop in all care calls is a different question. A standard video is 1 credit per selected minute. Agency style, a nurse’s voice, and an inserted clip need the plans above. See pricing.
