Care home managers wear many hats, from overseeing resident care to managing inventory and ensuring the facility runs smoothly. To help you make the most of your time, we’ve compiled a few practical strategies to streamline supply management and stay organised throughout the day.
- Organise Supplies by Use and Priority
- Set up a designated area for frequently used supplies like gloves, hand sanitizer, and incontinence products, and keep it well-stocked. An organized supply area reduces time spent searching for items and allows for easier restocking.
- Delegate Inventory Tasks to Key Team Members
- Involve trusted staff in handling routine inventory tasks, such as checking stock levels and restocking. This not only frees up your time but also gives staff a sense of responsibility in managing essential supplies.
- Plan for Seasonal Increases in Demand
- Identify high-demand periods, such as flu season, and increase stock accordingly. This proactive approach keeps your team prepared and helps avoid supply shortages during busy times.
- Partner with a Reliable Supplier
- Your time is already extremely limited. Avoid using suppliers with poor customer service, late deliveries or with frequent stock shortages
- One Click Reorder
- Consider partnering with Medulla Supplies and make use of our single button re-order. It does not get much faster than that!
Conclusion: By adopting these time-saving strategies, care home managers can maintain an efficient, well-stocked environment that supports both staff and residents.
