What’s on the wall now
Your team does brilliant work. It’s hard to see.
A busy week of music, baking and visitors ends up on a sheet of paper by the dining room door. Sound familiar?
The activity sheet
Printed on Monday. By Wednesday the singer has cancelled and the art group has moved rooms.
The menu whiteboard
The kitchen changes lunch. The whiteboard still says shepherd’s pie until someone walks past with a pen.
The families
They visit on Sunday and ask what Mum did this week. The answer is good, but nothing on the wall shows it.
The coordinator
Time spent printing, pinning and rewriting is time not spent with residents, and that is the job they came to do.
The care is good.NowBoard puts it on the screen where residents, families and staff can see it.
Your TVs, each with a job
One screen per room. Each one says what that room needs.
Pick a Board, type in your details, and it’s on the TV. Every Board is ready to use, and you can change any of them.
