Imagine a busy Monday morning with five new applicants eager to join your program. Last Friday, you successfully discharged two clients, but now you’re uncertain if you have the capacity to accept these new applicants into your recovery residence. To make matters more hectic, you have an urgent meeting to attend and can’t access your sober living’s bed availability on the go. These applicants will have to wait until you check your spreadsheets and update your census, which delays helping people and is time-consuming.
Managing bed availability in a sober home can be challenging, especially when you’re constantly on the move. Relying on manual spreadsheets or pencil and paper to track room and bed availability can lead to delays, errors, and missed opportunities. Sober living apps that show bed availability instantly allow staff to update and view occupancy in real-time, reducing the risk of double-booking and ensuring that every bed is utilized effectively. This functionality is not just a luxury but a necessity in a field where timely placements can make a significant difference in a person’s recovery.
One Step Software comes in handy providing the tools to help you manage your sober living’s bed availability. At any given moment, you and your staff can see an accurate census of which beds are filled and which are vacant, streamlining your operations and ensuring no applicant is left waiting. Not only can you view your vacancies straight from the One Step homepage, but you can even see who is admitted to what bed and exactly how long.
Don’t let outdated methods hold you back. Imagine viewing your bed availability on the go, right at your fingertips. Make this your reality! Reach out to info@onestepsoftware.com to learn more about how our in app census can help you view bed availability on the go.
