Rescare Homes Trust

Rescare Homes Trust consolidated its operations into one integrated platform. This gives them better visibility over their data and operations. Now, they are in the best position to support their clients with MYOB Advanced.

Who is Rescare Homes Trust?

Established in December 1994, Rescare began building a community of homes to support adults living with intellectual disabilities. Today, Rescare has 20 homes, accommodating 117 residents and vocational staff. With a dedicated team of over 180 staff, Rescare has evolved into a preferred lifestyle choice for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The organisation remains committed to enhancing resources, staff, facilities, and philosophies to further improve the lives of its residents, continually striving to make Rescare truly feel like ‘home’.

What catalysed the switch to MYOB Advanced Business and MYOB Advanced Payroll?

Despite not experiencing significant issues with their previous system, Rescare Homes Trust found themselves burdened by numerous manual processes. They were wasting significant time and effort double-handling data and re-entering it across disconnected systems. Compliance requirements also served as an additional catalyst for seeking a more robust, connected solution. Recognising the inherent inefficiencies in this approach, the Rescare team saw the value in consolidating their payroll, finance, and workforce management functions within a single platform.

What changes followed the decision to implement MYOB Advanced (Acumatica)?

Rescare Homes Trust experienced a comprehensive overhaul of its operational processes in MYOB Advanced Business (Acumatica) and MYOB Advanced Payroll. Moving payroll in-house created more work for the team. However, they now have greater control and visibility over leave liability and sick day usage for over 180 staff. They have also automated critical payroll tasks.

Rescare Homes Trust is one of three entities under the same general ledger. With MYOB Advanced Business, the organisation can drill down and report on each entity. They can also produce fast, consolidated reporting without manual manipulation. This transformation also resulted in improved visibility of government support payments. This simplified audit processes, and enhanced financial management capabilities. Additionally, MYOB Advanced provided Rescare with scalability and agility. They can more efficiently support a growing number of residents without the need for extra resources. Rescare can manage their operations whether they are catering to 100 or 200 individuals.

Where are they now?

With one integrated system of MYOB Advanced Business, Payroll, and Workforce Management, Rescare Homes Trust has positioned itself for continued growth and efficiency. The organisation plans to leverage further automation and explore additional functionalities, such as project management for maintenance programs, to enhance its operations., Rescare is in the best position as it prepares to open a new village and expand its services. With the support of MYOB Advanced to fulfill its mission, Rescare can support more adults with intellectual disabilities to lead fulfilling lives.
