How Orange Valley freed 85% of front-desk time for resident care by digitalising visitor management

Orange Valley Nursing Homes had a familiar problem: care staff were spending too much time on manual visitor registration and not enough time with residents. In 2022, WerkDone deployed its Visitor Management System across their facilities — eliminating paper-based registration entirely and returning that time to direct care.

Manual visitor registration pulling care staff away from residents

Across its nursing homes, Orange Valley managed a constant stream of family visits, contractor appointments, and ad-hoc visitors using paper-based registration. Staff at the front desk spent significant time on manual data entry — recording visitor details, cross-referencing resident lists, and logging appointment slots by hand.

Beyond the time cost, the paper trail created compliance risk. Visitor records were incomplete, inconsistently maintained, and difficult to retrieve for audit purposes. As visit volumes grew, the manual system became a bottleneck — pulling care staff away from residents to handle reception duties.

A self-service visitor system that removed the manual work entirely

WerkDone deployed its Visitor Management System across Orange Valley's facilities, replacing the paper register with a digital appointment portal. Visitors could book slots in advance online; on arrival, check-in was handled without staff intervention. The system captured all required visitor data automatically and maintained a real-time log accessible to the duty team.

The Access & Security module integrated visitor records with resident care schedules, flagging unscheduled visits and maintaining PDPA-compliant audit trails. Front desk staff — previously occupied with manual registration — were redeployed to direct care roles. Within six weeks, the impact was documented: 200+ staff hours recovered, and 85% of front-desk time returned to residents.

"The difference was immediate. Staff who used to spend their mornings on the register were back on the floor with residents. That's exactly what we needed."
