THE PROBLEM

Careander, an organisation that provides accommodation and daily activities for 350 vulnerable residents across 25 locations, faced challenges in ensuring Legionella prevention across its facilities.

Managing water safety in buildings where Legionella bacteria pose a critical risk was both labor-intensive and prone to human error.

The organisation had to manually track all activities, which created inefficiencies, especially when trying to maintain compliance across multiple sites. Careander needed a more efficient way to protect its residents while minimising the workload for its small maintenance team.

THE SOLUTION

Careander implemented LegionellaDossier’s water safety management platform in 25 buildings. This cloud-based solution helped the Careander streamline its Legionella prevention and control efforts, offering three key benefits:

Overview and Centralised Management

The system provided Careander with a comprehensive overview of all its Legionella prevention and control activities across multiple sites.

Property manager Harry van Wijlandt noted, “We now have a central overview of all our prevention activities. We can respond much more rapidly in the event of a discrepancy.”

This improved visibility helped the organisation ensure timely responses and compliance with water safety regulations.

50% Time Savings

The automated platform saved the maintenance team significant time by eliminating the need for manual data entry and logbook updates.

LegionellaDossier converted the organisation’s prevention plan into easy-to-follow digital checklists, reducing the workload for Careander’s four maintenance workers.

“It saves me a lot of time and stress as Careander’s sole property manager,” said Harry. The time saved allowed the team to focus on other essential tasks, such as building maintenance and resident care.

Ease of Adoption and Use

The user-friendly system was intuitive and easy to adopt. Initially, some workers were skeptical, but they quickly became fans after realising how much easier it made their jobs.

“They discovered it reduces their workload and causes far fewer headaches than manually updating logbooks,” Harry added.

The simplicity of the platform allowed the team to adapt quickly, ensuring smooth operations and continuous protection for Careander’s vulnerable residents.

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

With LegionellaDossier successfully implemented in 25 sites the next goal is to further simplify water safety management while maintaining high compliance standards across all of its facilities.

The system's ability to offer rapid insights and highlight potential issues in real time has been invaluable, especially in detecting structural problems such as the use of plastic pipes that are affecting the water quality.

Careander is committed to using digital tools to continue safeguarding its residents, ensuring peace of mind for both staff and those under Careander’s care.
