Meadville Medical Center’s Post

When we talk about our senior care concept, sometimes it’s hard for people to visualize. Most think of a big, nasty, drab 100+ bed assisted living or nursing home where grandma or grandpa gets terrible care. NOPE. We are building a beautiful, first-class, 16 suite care community that our families and team members love and people rave about! #ItsAHome #PurposeDrivenRealEstateInvesting #OurJourneyToAssistedLivingEntrepreneurship #AssistedLivingEntrepreneur #PurposeImpactFinancialFreedom #YourOnlyLimitsAreTheSizeOfYourIdeasAndTheDegreeOfYourDedication #dreamBigger

It can often be difficult to know what's best when it comes to making changes to adult social care. Recent care home closures in Hampshire, around the corner for me, are making way for improvements through investing more money in specialist nursing accommodation. But a public consultation received over 700 responses with most opposing the closures, worried about the uncertainty of what this will bring, and concerned that their views had not been listened to. Making changes to improve social care facilities across the UK is critical, but it's important to ensure we're keeping customers at the heart of it all, listening to their views and concerns every step of the way. https://lnkd.in/eUNkcGtw #RJAdvocacy #MakingQualityCareAReality #AdultSocialCare #CustomersAtTheHeart #CustomerSupport #CustomerConcerns

The latest #Argentum Advocates blog post is up, highlighting the just released, Genworth Financial Cost of Care Survey 2023, one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, which found that #assistedliving remains the most cost-effective form of #seniorcare. Key survey findings include: Assisted living facility rates increased by 1.4% (well below the 3.4% general inflation rate in 2023 as measured by the Consumer Price Index) to an annual national median cost of $64,200. The cost of a home health aide, which includes “hands-on” personal assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating, increased 10% to an annual median cost of $75,500. This cost assumes 44 hours of weekly care—round-the-clock care averages $288,000 a year. Homemaker services, which include assistance with “hands-off” tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands, increased 7.1% to an annual median cost of $68,600 for 44 hours of weekly care. The national annual median cost of a semi-private room in a skilled nursing facility rose to $104,000, an increase of 4.4%, while the cost of a private room in a nursing home increased 4.9% to $116,800.

As an expert in all matters concerning assisted living homes, it is deeply concerning to address the issue of managers within such facilities who prioritize profit over the well-being of the residents they are entrusted to care for. It is disheartening to acknowledge that some managers display a lack of compassion and respect towards the elderly residents, viewing them merely as a means to financial gain. The disregard shown by these managers towards both the residents and the dedicated staff members who provide essential care is unacceptable. This behavior not only diminishes the quality of life for the elderly residents but also creates a toxic work environment for the staff, leading to substandard care being provided. Furthermore, the exorbitant rates charged by these facilities for the care services offered is a clear indication of their profit-driven motives. It is unjustifiable to demand such excessive fees while failing to uphold the basic standards of care and respect that should be afforded to every resident in a senior assisted living facility. It is essential for the senior care industry to hold these managers accountable for their actions and to prioritize the well-being and dignity of the elderly residents above all else. Only through a commitment to compassion, respect, and quality care can senior assisted living homes truly fulfill their duty to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our elderly population.
