This article explains how to create a new respite bed.
Each bed used for respite accommodation must have a bed record set up in the system.
When creating a respite bed, you can define settings that limit the gender, age and funding source of clients booking into it, and list its amenities.
- Navigate to the Sites tab. If this tab isn't on your navigation bar, search for it in the App Launcher.
- In the Sites list, find the site at which the new bed will be located.
- Click on the text link of the Site Name.
- Click on the Related tab.
- Scroll down to the Beds section, then click on the New button.
- Select Respite as the record type, then click on the Next button.
- Complete the New Bed: Respite form as explained in the table below. Fields with an asterisk are mandatory.
