How Village Master came to be
We spent enough time inside retirement villages to notice the same thing everywhere: the work was being held together by paper, spreadsheets and the memory of whoever had been there longest. When that person went on leave, the village felt it.
The software that existed didn't help much. It was built for aged care or for property management and then bent to fit villages, so it never quite matched how the day actually ran. Managers ended up keeping their own records alongside it.
