About AL Advantage

AL ADVANTAGE is a cloud-based senior living software, designed and supported by senior living health care experts. Senior caregivers record resident care activities for specific state compliance and optimum clinical outcomes. The software provides HIPAA-compliant, password-protected data security for both on-premises and off-site authorized software users.

"Type-once" data entry minimizes waste of valuable staff hours by eliminating unnecessary duplications and errors. Real-time data entries flow seamlessly into key modules, functions, forms, and reports within the platform. Automated, state-compliant resident: assessments, service plans, incident reports and face sheets are created and easily updated. Simplified care data retrieval, processing, and organization significantly reduces senior living caregiver workloads, stress & turn-over.

The HIPAA compliant AL Advantage Care Tracker allows users to electronically document scheduled and unscheduled services in real-time directly in the AL Advantage software. The Care Tracker will allow communities to eliminate paper-heavy processes and be better prepared for state audits since information will be available online and easily acce...

ssible for all approved parties. Resident care levels can be customized for each community with resident-specific care level changes automatically sent to invoicing personnel for "real-time", monthly pro-rated care cost coverage. Simple care scheduling functions for resident’s laundry, medications and bathing free up caregivers to focus more on residents’ needs. AL Advantage requires no setup or training fees, no long-term contract or cancellation penalties. An unlimited number of users are supported round-the-clock by knowledgeable senior living care support staff.

    Pros:
    ease and that state licensing approves it. customer service is great.
    Cons:
    the medication section . it is cumbersome and is not friendly for clinicians to whom we present request for reconciliation or review. the software captures and saves all meds that are entered into the system and does not have a feature to archive so it is not possible to generate a clean current list of active meds. it also does not archive old orders. we have a lot of order changes. there should be a way to segregate so that a current list of accurate meds is provided. also, the assessment tool is good but should also be a stand alone . the full service plan is not often needed but the basic assessment is. currently , the assessment function does not capture any notes or instructions. additionally, not all facilities use a point system. this is confusing to customers. the face sheet does not always put the alternate resp party contacts in the right order. it should be specific so we can choose what shows up on face sheet. needs to add a specific section for annual vaccines and calendar of office visits- which dr is seen, date, etc.

    Pros:
    Fairly easy to use. I use the program every day I am at work. I appreciate the "drop-down" selections on the Needs and Service Care Plan feature.
    Cons:
    Cannot save a CA death report. When you add one item to the Needs and Service Care Plan, the entire care plan has to be reprinted. Confusion when listing the responsible party vs. the alternate contact for the face sheet. Responsible party is not always the person to call in an emergency....especially if they do not live locally. Initially, a little more "hands on" training would have been nice and also a couple of follow-up visits from the Rep would have been helpful. I know we are not utilizing the full features of this program due to our heavy case load of 171 residents.

    Vendor Response

    Hello Jan, Thank you for this wonderful review. When needing to save the CA Death Report simply open the link and download that report to your local machine. This will allow for local saving and editing. We are always wanting to help our users with our software. If you would like to let us know a good time we can perform another training session for users please let us know and we will be happy to schedule that. We always want you and your users to get the best and most abundant experience from our software. Thank you!

    Excellent internet based software, updates and intuitive UI a little behind

    We've been with the company from the beginning and have seen positive, but slow, progress. We use it mainly for MARs and Facesheets. It's too clunky and not user friendly enough at this point to use on tablets. As stated above the customer service is awesome!

    Pros:
    I love that it's built specifically for the industry. Face-sheets and MARs are equipped with the exact information needed. Customer support is on top of things, very quick to resolve issues and respond.
    Cons:
    The UI is a little behind for online software. Seems like the web page could fill up the screen better, there are wide columns on either side. It can be really slow to respond or load and there seem to be a lot of steps involved sometimes, for example just to print the MARs. An app based software would also be great to be used on tablets! It would be nice to have a drop down menu of medications, doses and general directions, it would make entering MARs much faster. Also an electronic MAR would be awesome as well! Where each med-tech had a login and could digitally sign for meds.

    Pros:
    The care plans are easy to read for the care staff giving the direct care. Communication of care is important in our line of work. AL Advantage has well organized care plans for staff to get the information needed. I also like the drop down menu with options for title of chart notes. It helps keep all chart notes for certain topics organized when you need to find certain information.
    Cons:
    It would be nice to be able to add more information into certain areas of care. Some resident's don't need information under "grooming" entry, but need extra room under "dressing" on the care plan. It would be nice to not be so limited on space per heading, instead limit space per page.

    Vendor Response

    Courtney, Thank you for the review and taking your time to let us know how we and the software are doing. We have a new roll-out that is deploying on the 5th of this month that will address this entry and space issue. If you need anything do not hesitate to contact support. Thank you!

    Pros:
    Using AL Advantage is made creating care plans for residents so much easier and offers easy medical terminology to use for every type of patient. The Extra tabs helps give a guideline to how much time in between admitting and when the info should be updated, giving extra space to write a brief description for the patient has been helpful. The Incident report and how it retains the info for years is helpful because it is needed in case by case situations.
    Cons:
    The only issue I have is the amount of time it gives while I'm inputting information it will cut off and I will lose all I have been inputting and have to go back and retype the info in. That's the most frustrating part.

    Vendor Response

    Leah, Thank you for taking your time to write this review. We are happy that AL Advantage is surpassing your expectations and retaining your information as needed. We will have our Development team track and fix the issue you mentioned for data entry. Thank you!
