How do I add bed vacancy information to my profile?

Adding bed vacancy information to your profile can generate enquiries from potential new residents and their families. If you would like to add vacancies to your profile, follow these simple steps.

To access bed vacancy updates

1. Access the Control Panel of your carehome.co.uk account.
2. Under the left hand menu ‘Profile’, select the option ‘Bed Vacancies’. 
3. Click this box, or where it says ‘Update’.
4. If you are a group, you will then need to select the care home you wish to update.

To add bed vacancies

1. Select your number of bed vacancies. You can choose ‘Not specified’ if you wish to not have the information available for public view. Otherwise, you can advertise between 0 and 50 bed vacancies.
2. Next write a vacancy description. This tells the reader what care type or funding type you have beds available. You may wish to use this chance to promote the room, perhaps it has a great view or is one of the larger rooms in the home.
3. Next, choose your expiry date. You can advertise a bed for up to a month at a time. If this month passes, you will receive an email reminding you so. You can advertise the same vacancy if the bed has not been filled. If you have several vacancies, it’s better to set a shorter time. For example, if you have 5 vacancies, set for two weeks at a time as some of those beds are likely to be filled.
4. Finally, click ‘Submit’. A member of the Tomorrow’s Guides team will verify your update. You and potential customers will be able to view your update on the ‘Bed Vacancies’ tab of your profile.

To delete bed vacancies

1. Follow the steps to access your profile.
2. The form will already have a previous vacancy listed. You can edit and update it, or to delete it entirely, press the pink button at the bottom that says ‘Delete this Bed / Place Vacancy Listing’.
