Understanding Care Plans
Care Plans help you stay ahead of maintenance for both appliances and fixtures. Instead of relying on generic recommendations, Spanr creates highly personalized care guidance based on your property, your systems, and your home’s environment.
How Care Plans Work
Each appliance or fixture in your home generates its own set of care activities. These activities are based on factors such as make, model, age, installation details, climate, home characteristics, and how often the item typically requires upkeep. As you update item information, photos, or specifications, Spanr adjusts upcoming tasks accordingly.
Care Plans are designed to reduce repairs, extend lifespan, and keep your home running smoothly. The more accurate your inventory and fixture details are, the more tailored your care reminders become.
What a Care Activity Includes
Every care activity contains:
- A clear description of what needs to be done
- Step-by-step instructions
- Relevant videos when available
- The optional ability to upload your own documents or photos (for inventory items)
- Due dates and reminders
Care activities for fixtures focus on long-term system upkeep, while inventory-based tasks focus on regular cleaning, filter replacements, or manufacturer-recommended maintenance.
How Care Plans Help You Stay Organized
Care Plans appear on your home dashboard and inside each appliance or fixture. You can view upcoming, overdue, or completed tasks, track your maintenance history, and use the steps and videos to complete tasks confidently.
Marking tasks as completed keeps your schedule updated and ensures future reminders align with your actual maintenance behavior.
Spanr helps ensure nothing slips through the cracks—keeping your home healthy year-round.
