director of a portfolio of buildings. From this you can see how many reactive and planned tasks are on the horizon. You can monitor all aspects of your maintenance programme, from what you’re spending, to how assets and contractors are performing.
“Ideally, care home maintenance should be seamless, non-
intrusive and virtually invisible to residents.”
The ability to monitor maintenance in real-time was a key driver in Orchard Care Homes’ recent decision to use eMaintenance+, a CAFM tool, to manage all reactive and planned maintenance tasks across its UK- wide network of more than 50 care homes. This technology automates maintenance task handling for Orchard Care Homes, promotes contractor performance management and provides those involved in the maintenance process with real-time visibility through a single system.
The beauty of these systems is that they can be tailored to your property’s needs, and the data can be presented in whichever way you choose – either email or SMS alerts if there’s a problem with any area of the built environment, or via business intelligence reports, dashboards and data grids if you want to see a snapshot of the bigger picture. No more reams of paperwork to make sense of (and risk losing)!
Ideally, care home maintenance should be seamless, non-intrusive and virtually invisible to residents. It can help to promote the best standards of care by offering quality of life for the residents, minimising disruption to their care and ensuring their safety and comfort. If I could give one piece of advice to care home managers it would be to promote the importance of maintenance within your organisation, as it impacts all levels of the business.
