Calendar Management in Action⚡
Check out what Melinda Sukle of Jackson Creek Senior Living had to say about the Calendar Management feature:
“Oh, my goodness! Personally, I could not do my job without LifeLoop. It is my best friend in the office, and the ability to add a program or event to the calendar and then replicate it with the click of a button is amazing! Once it’s added, I can create daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly schedules. I can also tally attendance for month-end reports, which is incredible. The time it saves my staff and me is literally hundreds of hours a month. By using the ‘Likes’ feature with each resident, we can export a list of people who enjoy WWII history, Uno, dancing, painting, or any activity. Then we can personally invite them to programs that we’ve spent time planning based on their interests. Our attendance is so much higher due to LifeLoop’s robust platform and it allows our staff to spend more time with the people rather than in the office.”
