Why Does A Retirement Home Even Need A Point-of-Sale (POS) System?
You may be part of a retirement home that uses manual processes (ie. paper & pen) and things to be fine for the most part. Why bother even incur the time & money costs involved with rolling out a Point-of-Sale system in your retirement community? Why fix something when it’s not broken? Nobody (residents or staff) is asking for change, because as we know, people hate change.
The world is changing fast in the retirement home industry. Technology is becoming a must-have versus nice-to-have. You can just try to wait it out until you need to put technology in place. But that puts you in a position of weakness versus if you try to preemptively get ahead of things which would put you in a position of strength. Staffing challenges are rampant – you need something to ensure that regardless of who shows up, they have a fighting chance to get the work done that needs to be done. Efficiency and accuracy are key in the busy world of retirement homes. With residents relying on the facility for their daily needs, from meals to amenities, managing transactions, inventory management, and good reporting become crucial aspects. A good Point-of-Sale (POS) system, such as Continyou Care, can revolutionize how your retirement home operates.
Seamlessly Track Billable Transactions To Residents’ Profiles
Easily bill services and products used by residents on-site to the resident, where retirement homes (even within the same parent company) have different permutations of billing types for residents (ie. all-inclusive, declining cash balance, meal tickets, etc.) You don’t want staff to have to think about this, but seamlessly ensure that consumed services & products are added to a resident’s billing profile.
