Running a senior living facility or any other healthcare building can have its own special needs that are unique from other buildings. However, like any other building that has maintenance staff,  there is plenty you can do to utilize CMMS ([Computerized Maintenance Management Software](https://www.maintenancecare.com/)) into your work to make it easier and more productive.

In fact, in a recent job posting, it showcased just a few of the things that a manager for assisted living has to do:

- Establishing and monitoring a preventative maintenance program that will promote a sense of well-being and esthetic appeal for residents and staff
- Maintaining OSHA and fire code compliance
- Other maintenance functions as required
