Where are the general settings?

In Settings > Nursing Home (residents, accommodation, demo data) and in Settings > Medical (dashboard). These screens are reserved for the establishment’s managers.

What is the “Rooms Technical Manager” for?

It is the user who receives the “prepare the room” activity every time a resident arrives, or a room change or transfer opens a new stay. It is a choice specific to your establishment.

What is the “Move-in Procedure Manager” for?

It is the user who receives the move-in checklist (agreement, condition report, inventory, medication locker, laundry, disinfection) on the resident’s record when a stay opens. Left empty, the procedure is disabled.

What default values should I use for stay duration and room capacity?

30 days for the stay duration and 1 bed for the capacity suit most MR/MRS. These are only pre-fill values, editable afterwards on each stay or each room.

Should demo data be loaded in production?

No. The “Load Demo Data” button creates fictitious residents, rooms and invoices: keep it for a test environment. Never use it on your real database.

What does “Hide Empty Stat Cards” do?

Disabled by default, this setting keeps all dashboard cards visible even when their counter is 0. Enable it only if you prefer a cleaner screen.

General settings (residents, rooms)¶

This tab brings together the settings that structure the day-to-day running of your home: how residents are managed, accommodation (stay duration, capacity, managers), and the display of the care dashboard.

You will find them in the Settings application:

Settings > Nursing Home (MR/MRS) — residents, accommodation, demo data;
Settings > Medical — dashboard.

Reserved for managers

These settings are only visible to users who hold the establishment manager role. They are set once and then rarely change afterwards.

Residents¶

Settings > Nursing Home > Residents. Two options frame the creation and follow-up of residents.

Setting	What it does	Recommended value (MR/MRS)
Medical Information	Makes medical information mandatory for all residents.	Establishment-specific — enable it if the head nurse requires a complete medical file from admission onwards.
Family Notifications	Sends automatic notifications to the resident’s family.	Establishment-specific — enable it if you communicate with families from Resthome.

Accommodation¶

Settings > Nursing Home > Accommodation. This block sets the default values for rooms and stays, and designates who is notified when a resident arrives or changes room.

Setting	What it does	Recommended value (MR/MRS)
Default Stay Duration	Pre-fills the duration (in days) proposed when a new stay opens.	30 days
Room Capacity	Number of beds pre-filled when creating a new room.	1 bed (single room)
Rooms Technical Manager	User who receives the “prepare the room” activity when a resident arrives or during a room change / transfer.	The technical or maintenance staff member of your home.
Move-in Procedure Manager	User who receives the move-in checklist (agreement, condition report, inventory, medication locker, laundry, disinfection) on the resident’s record.	The admission coordinator — leave empty to disable the procedure.

Two complementary managers

At every room change or transfer as well as at admission, Resthome opens a new stay and automatically triggers:

a “prepare the room” activity for the technical manager;
the move-in checklist (if a procedure manager is defined) on the resident’s record.

These are work reminders: setting them avoids oversights on arrival.

Dashboard¶

Settings > Medical > Dashboard. A single setting, which controls the display of the care dashboard’s stat cards.

Setting	What it does	Recommended value (MR/MRS)
Hide Empty Stat Cards	Hides the dashboard cards (missed care, attention points, Katz renewals, etc.) whose counter is 0.	Leave disabled (default): a displayed “0” is a positive signal, not a lack of information.

Demo Data¶

Settings > Nursing Home > Demo Data. A way to fill a test database with fictitious residents, rooms, stays and invoices.

Setting	What it does	Recommended value (MR/MRS)
Load Demo Data	Creates fictitious residents, rooms, stays, billing periods, medical data and meals.	Keep it for a test environment.
Update Demo Data	Re-runs the loader to add demo records added since (furniture, supplements, etc.) without duplicating existing ones.	Testing only.

Never on your real database

Demo data creates fictitious residents and invoices. Only use these buttons on a test or training database, never on your production environment.
