Time-savings and improved work environment in care homes for people with disabilities

Results from study 

A study from 2024 shows that Abilia’s cognitive time and planning solution, MEMOplanner, not only provides users with a stronger sense of time, greater independence and enhanced feeling of security, but also saves a significant amount of time staff in care homes.  

The study shows that time is mostly saved by  

• Fewer unnecessary repetitions and reminders 

  53 minutes saved daily for each staff member due to fewer reminders and repetitions, equivalent to more than 5 full weeks per year*. This reduced workload creates a calmer environment and provides more time for quality care.

• Fewer conflicts and minstunderstandings

  31 minutes saved daily for each staff member due to fewer conflicts and misunderstandings, equivalent to more than 3 full weeks per year *. Fewer conflicts lead to a better work environment, allowing staff to focus on delivering valuable care.

• Easier onboarding of new and temporary staff  

  24 minutes saved per occasion when introducing new or temporary staff, resulting in less stress, higher quality, and fewer mistakes.

  * Time savings for each staff member  based on a 40-hour workweek
