The business plan I choose is a nursing home titled Bright House. Bright House is chartered as a nonprofit 501(C) (3) corporation in Middletown, CT, with the goal of providing holistic and respectful assisted living and skilled nursing home care to a small group of elderly residents (Nursing Home, 2011). Wayfield Bed and Breakfast which is located on Farmer’s Road is being converted into Bright House which will be a two building nursing home facility in line with Eden Alternatives "Greenhouse" model for enlightened elder living. Bright House aims to be the home for 14 full-time assisted living residents, offering medically-skilled care in a respectful, self-sustaining community, and offering skilled nursing care for short-term residents (Nursing Home, 2011).
Bright House sees a different way of assisting elderly members through a new stage in their lives. Acknowledging that where they live is their home, and belongs to them, not to the medical staff. In Bright House’s plan it says they have established a facility for the elderly that not only meets their medical and physical needs, but one that also nourishes their social connections, individual dignity, and personal preferences. Each resident has a private room with bath, opening onto a central shared common area containing the kitchen, living room, and dining room, where all meals are shared communally at our 15 foot farm-style dining table (Nursing Home, 2011).
To accompany the layout and prospects of Bright House’s plan there will be a Board of Directors which will be drawn from the local medical and community-organization communities.
Board of Directors * President: Dr. Michael Medical, M.D. * Members: Laurie Law, Susie Social-Worker, M.P.H., John Leader.
Bright House’s Medical Director, Doctor Mildred Johnson, M.D., M.S.W., of New Haven, is one of the most respected gerontologists in New England. She will be supported by four

    The organization that I have chosen to do my SWOT analysis on is the New Orleans Saints football team. They are among the most successful teams of this decade but not ranked very high as far as most lucrative organizations in the National Football League. They are currently ranked 23rd among the 30 active teams in the national football league. The organization was formed and became a professional football team in 1967. The team got its nickname due to its founding being on All Saints Day on November 1, 1967. The team initially one of the weaker franchises in the league. It didn’t win many games and struggled to sell out games. They have won one Super Bowl title, 5 Division Championships, and made only 9 playoff appearances in its 46 year existence. The ultimate goal of this organization is to win football games and generate revenue by selling tickets and merchandise.…

    Long-term care has contributed to the continuum of care tremendously because it is offering an array of services for consumers in different places and not just focusing on one specific population. In the last few years long-term care has become more of a need for more than 12million people in the United States, and out of these 12 million people, five million of them are nearly disabled (Barton, 2006). Barton (2006) stated, “a significant proportion of people needing long-term care-nearly half –is younger than 65: 40 percent are working age adults and about 3 percent are children younger than age 18” (p. 368). Therefore, long-term care is not just dealing with the medical aspect of being in a home, but is also for daily living such as personal care, meal preparations, housekeeping and chore services, and management of overall care for an individual. As the years go on the need for long-term care will only continue to increase.…
