9 Software Applications for Your Care Business

The Dalrymple Villa is a Low Care Aged Nursing Home in Charters Towers, Queensland. Recently, for the first time in over twelve years, the committee started asking for bonds. We had to formulate a bond agreement quickly, that looked professional, fitted all the legal requirements and incorporated the changing Government Legislation. We were fortunate to discover e-Tools Software (Universal Care Management Group) who not only met all of our legislative needs, but who offered fast and friendly customer service. The user friendly e-Tools software enabled us to reproduce our first Bond Agreement within fifteen minutes! The Dalrymple Villa is extremely impressed with this software and would highly recommend it to the aged care industry.

Braemar is a 165 bed three site organisation. We investigated NeRA software as part of our project to streamline and strengthen our admissions process. We found NeRA practical in meeting our needs. Our Admission Officer can use the contract to clearly demonstrate the payment options, simpler than working it out manually. The fact that the contracts are updated automatically gives us peace of mind knowing we are providing the most accurate financial information to our clients. Given the agreement software was so successful we have also purchased the police check software. We have been equally impressed with it ease of use and accuracy. Should we move into Community Care we would not hesitate to add their Community Care agreement to our suite of programmes.

Sometimes there is a small cost of doing business, the purchase of eRAD is a justified cost to our business. I have found the software in place of spreadsheets significantly reduces time for the end of month reconciliations. Bond interest and retention calculation errors are minimised ensuring data confidence when completing compliance for the Department and Auditors. eRAD ensures we are compliant and up to date with legislative changes to the Aged Care Act and provides a number of quality reports. This program is user friendly and goes hand in hand with e-Tools NeRA software.
