Before creating residents and assigning them to rooms or seating charts, you’ll want to define your facility layout. This includes setting up your Floors, Wings, or Wards, and Dining Rooms depending on how your site is configured.

Floors / Wings / Wards

These are managed in a single section. Your site’s setup determines which option(s) are available:

• If your site only uses Floors, you will only see “Floor” as the type.
• If you use Wings or Wards, those options will appear in the dropdown when creating or editing a location.

Note: The type dropdown only shows options enabled for your facility.

The Floor Plan for your location is configured through the Floor Plan menu on the left-hand side. Based on your setup, your myResidentCare site will display only the relevant options (Floors, Wings, or Wards). If certain types are not used in your facility, those menu items will not appear.

The first step is to set up your Floors/Wards/Wings, as these are used when setting up dining rooms, resident rooms, and activity rooms.

To create a new floor/wing/ward:

1. Go to the Floors / Wings / Wards page.
2. Click Add New.
3. Choose the available Type (e.g., Floor, Wing, Ward).
4. Enter a name (e.g., “Main Floor”, “North Wing”).
5. Click Save.

You can continue to add as many location areas as needed to match your facility’s layout.

All types (Floors/Wards/Wings) are managed the same way.

• The Create button opens the form for adding new entries.
• The Update button allows you to edit existing entries.
• The Delete button removes them from the system.

Setting up Rooms

Once you have setup your Floors/Wards/Wings, you are ready to create your rooms.

Each room requires:

• A Room Name
• Occupancy (number of beds)
• The Floor/Wing/Ward it belongs to

After saving the room, you’ll be prompted to add Beds. Even single-occupancy rooms require at least one Bed Name (e.g., Bed A, Bed 1). These are used to assign residents to specific spots within the room.

Creating Dining Rooms

Dining rooms are created under the Dining Rooms section. Each dining room includes tables and seating, and is linked to the floor/wing/ward it belongs to.

To create a dining room:

1. Go to Dining Rooms.
2. Click Create.
3. Enter the Room Name (e.g., “Main Dining Room”).
4. Set the Occupancy (total number of seats the room should support).
5. Select the appropriate Floor/Wing/Ward from the dropdown based on your site’s setup.

To add tables & seats:

1. Click Add Table.
2. A “New Table” dialog will appear.
3. Enter the number of seats at the table.
4. Repeat this step for each additional table you want to add.

When you’re done, click Save and Continue. This will automatically generate seat placements for each table based on the seat count you entered.
