You can generate your own personalised facility newsletter to print for your residents or send directly to families with our dynamic newsletter builder.
Each Facility Newsletter will include an introduction section and "Birthdays this month" at the beginning. The introduction section is mandatory.
The "Birthday this month" section will take DOB info from resident profiles to include all birthdays during the current month.
