How is adding bed vacancy information beneficial?

Adding bed vacancies to your profile can generate enquiries.

Many people need a place in a care home as soon as possible, maybe due to their care needs, safety or for respite care.  A small number of bed vacancies suggests opportunity and urgency, especially if the rest of your profile is rich in detail, with a good description and lots of photos.

A higher number of vacancies can make people who are viewing several care homes more likely to include your home in their viewings, as they feel calmer in that they have more time to make a decision and more bedrooms to choose from.

Despite the pandemic, people still need care and there are still plenty of people actively looking for a care home bed. Having vacancy information can show people that you are still working as normal.
