Summary
The number of elderly people living alone or with another aged partner has been increasing significantly over the years. At the same time the money they retire with has been less powerful in terms of giving them the upper-middle class living they are used to. The tightening budget will have an impact on their health care needs. As a result many elderly will not be able to buy expensive all-inclusive healthcare benefits. Instead, they will be looking at a piecemeal approach buying healthcare products and services from different providers. This will cause changes to the end-to-end healthcare service provider market as we know it. As a result there will be an opportunity for niche players to cater to this growing segment.
Objective
To create a home healthcare service company that meets and exceeds the needs and expectations of senior citizens while making a sound investment for shareholders and contributing to the positive development of a caring society.
Plan
1. Begin with the service in a neighborhood with higher ratio of senior citizens
2. Offer differentiate services: Silver, Gold, and platinum
a. Silver: Basic services
b. Gold: Basic services + Limited Value Added Services
c. Platinum: Basic services + Full range of Value Added Services
3. Marketing Strategy: Minimum spend on marketing. Mostly through word of mouth and social media marketing

    I have been designated by the senior management team at a community hospital to write a summary on the effects of changes in population demographics on the needs and services for a selected population. The population that I choose to write about is the aging population. In this paper I will identify the aging population and provide data about the demographics and psychographics for this particular population. I will also describe the general impact that the demographics will have on the health care market as they change. The effects from the changes in the demographics of the aging population will also be explained. I will identify health care challenges for the aging population as well as describing how a chronic disease wellness program would affect the cost for them. I will explain what the demographics say about the marketing needs or services needed for this population. Finally, I will help the reader understand how the individual patient, the community, and society as a whole can address these challenges.…

    The greatest challenge facing long-term care in health care is caring for the large number of elderly as the Baby Boomer generation ages. The economic burden placed on those in need of long-term care will be overwhelming. According to “Knickman & Snell” (2002), “the real challenges of caring for the elderly in 2030 will involve: (1) making sure society develops payment and insurance systems for long-term care that works better than the existing ones, (2) taking advantage of advances in medicine and behavioral health to keep the elderly as healthy and active as possible, (3) changing the way society organizes community services so that care is more accessible, and (4) altering the cultural view of aging to make sure all ages are integrated into the fabric of community life”.…

    The influx of people needing long-term services, the quality, and the availability of those services will become very strained. Without an appropriate reform, there is the possibility of resorting back to economic separation of persons-low and middle income fighting for placement in facilities and the monetarily fit being able to afford community care. Economic struggles can cause staffing challenges and closure of long-term care facilities, lessening bed space for Medicaid receivers. Learning from the past cyclic events can lead to a better future for these next seniors entering care if policymakers can reduce the economic challenges to them, as well the struggles of…

    The constant battle for better wages for a home health aide is one that cannot be given up. Though at this moment many look at this field as a means to an end or a stepping stone to their next level, it is definitely more than that. The clients the aides come in contact with on a daily rely on them for so much of their daily living skills. If a company such as Globex could be backed by a program to help aides get the training they need at a higher level it could and would set the agency apart from others and bring in more workers that it strives for daily.…

    The bills in both houses require that Americans purchase insurance through "qualified" plans offered by health-care "exchanges" that would be set up in each state. The rub is that the plans can't really compete based on what they offer. The reason: The federal government will impose a minimum list of benefits that each plan is required to offer.…

    Between 2000 and 2050, the number of ageing population will increase by 135% During this time period, the proportion of the population that is over the age of 65 will increase from 12.7% in 2000 to 20.3% in 2050; the proportion of the population that is age 85 and older will increase from 1.6% in 2000 to 4.8% in 2050 ((Wiener & Tilly, 2002). The market for health care services will increase with the ageing of the societies and because the ageing process will not stop, the health care market and hospitals will have to adapt to the changes of their patients. The health of older Americans is improving. Still, many are disabled and suffer from chronic conditions needing a longer recovery time, temporary assistance and support to take care of themselves (Mierla_Florina, 2008). Since the ageing population will require focusing on these chronic diseases, the style of medicine will be required to change to correct the ongoing management of theses disease and disabilities. With these chronic illnesses long term care services such as nursing homes, home health, personal care and adult day care will become important sources of care ((Wiener & Tilly, 2002).…

    **In the backdrop of aging society, increasing patients with chronic diseases, tightening health economy, etc., the Japanese government has powerfully promoted home healthcare. In December 1989, the Ten-Year Strategy for Promoting Health and Welfare of the Aged ("Gold Plan") was enacted, setting a flow for switching from care at facilities to care at home. In 1992, the Medical Care Act was revised to position homes as places for providing health care. In 2000, the long-term care insurance system was introduced, based on the Long-Term Care Insurance Act. As the aging of society proceeds, the government aims at establishing a community based comprehensive care system by around 2025, when the baby boom generation reaches the age of 75 or above,…

    Family Care Plan

    My family consists of a single mother, age 27. Her child is a 3-year-old male. The characteristics of the mother are unique; she had to deal with losing both of her parents at a young age. Her father committed suicide when she was nine and her mother was murdered in the line of duty while working as a state trooper. The mother also has no siblings. At the present time the young boy is facing his own challenges as the mother decided to leave the father of her child and move out of state from New Mexico to Colorado. Together they appear to cope well with their losses and struggles. The family structure is basic; the mother plays that role and is also a mentor to the child. The additional “family” structure for these two is that the mother has a new boyfriend and he is the main reason that she moved to Colorado. The environmental characteristics do not appear to be a factor in the function of the family. The culture of the family seems to have continued well here in CO, both make a bi monthly trip to NM so that the son can visit with the father and so that the mother can visit with a close aunt.…
