The Challenge

Sunshine Care Homes Group was struggling with managing paperwork and compliance across their 12 residential care facilities. Each location was using different systems and paper-based processes, creating several critical issues:

  • Inconsistent Documentation: Each home had different approaches to record-keeping, making it impossible to maintain consistent standards.
  • Compliance Challenges: Manual tracking of regulatory requirements led to missed deadlines and compliance gaps.
  • Staff Overwhelm: Care workers were spending up to 40% of their time on administrative tasks instead of direct care.
  • Reporting Difficulties: Generating reports for management and regulators was time-consuming and error-prone.

The Solution

Sunshine Care Homes Group implemented CM-Plus across all 12 locations with a phased rollout approach. The solution included:

Centralized System

Single platform for all 12 homes with standardized processes and forms.

Mobile-First Design

Care workers can complete forms and access information on tablets and phones.

Automated Compliance

Built-in compliance tracking with automated reminders and alerts.

Real-time Reporting

Instant access to reports and analytics across all locations.

Staff Training Program

Comprehensive training and ongoing support for all staff members.

Data Migration

Seamless transfer of existing resident records and historical data.

The Results

65%
Reduction in Administrative Time

Care workers now spend 65% less time on paperwork, allowing more direct care time.

98%
Compliance Achievement Rate

40%

"CM-Plus has transformed how we operate. Our care workers can focus on what they do best - caring for our residents - instead of drowning in paperwork. The consistency across all our homes has improved both our compliance and the quality of care we provide."
