Marking residents as away from the community

How to keep track of residents when they are out of the community.

Written by Erez Cohen


Step 1:

Go to the resident's chart.

Step 2:

Use the dropdown in the upper right corner to select "Mark As Away."

Step 3:

Enter the date and time that the resident left the community and the reason from the dropdown list.

Step 4:

To finalize, click "Set."

Note: You cannot schedule this for the future, but you can mark a resident as away for any time in the past.

Step 4:

Once marked as away, you'll see a gray banner at the top of their page. Use the "Edit" button to make changes to the start date/time or the "End Now" button once they've returned to the community.

Step 5:

When they return, you can enter the "Return Date" and confirm the time they returned. Both date and time are required to end their away status.

Away Residents Report

You can find the "Away from Community" reports is the Residents tab where all residents are listed. These reports includes information regarding the time the resident was marked as "Away from Community" in August Health.

Step 1:

From the left side menu, navigate to your community's Residents page.


Step 2:

Use the "Download" button on the top right of the page to search for the "Away From Community" report to generate.
