Managing House Schedules
SIL Homes operate around the clock to provide the necessary care and support for their residents. Managing the shifts for support workers can be a complex task, involving various time slots, responsibilities, and even overlapping shifts.
A SIL House Schedule is essentially a timetable or a roster that allows you to set up a common set of shifts for residents and support workers within a SIL home. Rather than handling each type of shift separately—like day shifts, evening shifts, and overnight sleepovers—this schedule merges them into a single, unified shift.
For instance, instead of having three separate shifts: 4:00pm to 10:00pm for evening rate, 22:00pm to 6:00am for overnight sleepovers and 06:00am - 08:00am for daytime rate, you integrate these into one comprehensive shift.
Key Benefits of SIL House Schedules
Simplified Management
Managing individual shifts for each time slot can be cumbersome and can lead to errors. SIL House Schedules streamline this by having a single shift per worker per day, making it easier to manage and oversee.
Increased Efficiency for Support Workers
Support workers can view all their tasks, responsibilities, and alerts for the day in one consolidated shift within their app. This removes the need to clock in and out for each separate shift, thereby reducing the chances of forgetting to do so.
Unified Record-Keeping
With the SIL House Schedule, all progress notes, alerts, and goals appear in a single shift. This makes it more convenient for the support workers to review and update their notes, ensuring better communication and care for the residents.
SIL House Schedules offer an integrated approach to shift management, making it easier for both administrators and support workers. By streamlining the shifts into a single unit, support workers have a more straightforward way to manage their responsibilities, from clocking in and out to keeping track of tasks and updates. Implementing this schedule system will not only simplify management and rostering tasks but also improve the quality of support and care provided in SIL Homes.
