If you work in facility management of any kind, you know that you have a duty of care in not only running that facility, but making sure what you do helps improve the lives of those who inhabit it. Nowhere is this more important than in aged care facility management. Running an aged care facility means a great deal of trust is placed in your hands, so you need to do your best to ensure everyone is as comfortable as possible.
One way to strengthen this duty of care is by adopting the right facility management software. With the right systems in place, you can improve resident wellbeing by streamlining maintenance, enhancing safety checks, and ensuring that day-to-day operations support a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
Keeping on top of preventative maintenance
Preventative maintenance is important for running any facility well. By routinely servicing equipment and machinery, you can identify and stop any potential issues before they arise. By making sure devices such as heaters and air conditioners are always in top condition, your residents can feel comfortable all year round.
Keeping an up-to-date database
Knowing who is in your facility, what their details are, and how to contact their loved ones is crucial when running an aged care facility. Not only does having details such as names help you converse with residents, but if anything were to happen you have an easy way to contact those who need to know.
Making sure residents can receive gifts
Recent times have seen a surge in gifts being sent via post. So when a loved one sends a gift to one of your residents, it’s imperative to make sure they can receive it. Using software to manage parcel delivery is a small but important asset in your arsenal to help improve wellbeing. This way everyone receives their gifts with no issues.
