You’re the administrator, the scheduler, the compliance officer, the family liaison and the one who gets the 7 a.m. call when someone doesn’t show up.

This guide offers real-world ways to stay inspection-ready using manual processes, because we know that’s how many homes operate today. When you’re ready to save time, RCFE Admin is here to help.

Smart Compliance Hacks Without a Digital Platform

Daily & Weekly Tasks

☐ Log medications, meals, and fridge/water temperatures

Monthly Prep

☐ Update care plans and physician reports

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Simplifying Family Paperwork (the Manual Way)

☐ Create a Welcome Binder with consent forms and a family FAQ
