Implementation Plan for Process Improvements at Emeritus Senior Living

Team B chose to cover Emeritus at Harbour of Pointe Shores, a senior community located in Ocean Shores, Washington. The team was interested in learning more about an assisted living and rehabilitation facility. It is also an opportunity to uncover the differences from an assisted living community and a skilled nursing facility. Emeritus at Harbour of Pointe Shores provides retirement and assisted living, respite services, and on-site rehabilitation. Similar to other long-term care facilities, the facility and staff are required to follow specific guidelines and regulations to maintain licensing and accreditation. However, these

Experience working in the field of health care lends insight to the growing needs of the older adult population, and the barriers which impede our capacity to meet them. As the Baby Boomer age is approaching older adulthood, the rise for financial,

Healthcare organizations throughout Canada are focusing more and more on the delivery of quality care to its patients and families. However, it is not enough to simply state this dedication, it must be proven with a plan that outlines clear aims, targets, and initiatives that implement evidence-based research (Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, & Shabot, 2013). The purpose of this paper is to outline a quality improvement plan to address the rates of worsening pain in the elderly with dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment in the Veterans Centre (VC) at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

Sunrise Senior Living Inc. is one of the top firms in the rapidly growing long-term care industry. They provided a number of services for senior citizens including assisted living, meals, transportation, housekeeping, and licensed and highly skilled nurses for certain residents who require 24 hour care. The company was started in 1981 in Fairfax, Virginia by married couple Paul and Terry Klaassen who had a vision of creating alternative senior living options that emphasize quality of life. They have started what is now the most recognized company in the industry boasting innovative products and services

Thesis Statement People think that putting their loved ones in senior home centers or assisted living centers will benefit them due to the way they think they're going to be treated. When in reality most of the time it's not that way. Many are very unorganized,they abuse the elderly, and patients aren't getting the attention they need. Senior homes are meant to make the patients feel like they're at home.

The new eldercare service model must be one of inclusion. We can no longer afford to marginalize any group of seniors. –Author

As America continues to be a society of working class people, others retiring and needing help, there will always be the need for elderly care. The trend of the aging drives the facility’s business.

We find that there are currently staffing shortages and the lack of long-term care facilities to compete with the growing number of senior citizen in our country (Williams, Nowak & Scoby, 2016). With these issues we find that each professional who assist within the field of geriatric care such as advocates and leadership, share a particular part in making a safe environment with adequate accommodations for seniors. There are differences in the leadership and advocacy perspective in senior care, but they both result in the common goal of a meaningful life for seniors daily.

In Being Mortal, Atul Gawande painted a little depressing picture of the realities faced by the elderly in the US nowadays: declining health status, economic insecurity, and loss of independence. It seems once the older people move into nursing homes or assisted living facilities, they lose autonomy, dignity and privacy as the institutions are not able to fully individualize care. Even though the situation has been improving, it still shocks me to see how unhappy some of the elderly are in these circumstances. Realizing senior care facilities often fail to address all aspects of well-being, I would like to explore the issues of promoting both objective and subjective component in quality of care for the older people.

Assisted living communities are a becoming a more fiable choice among seniors and the aging population. Many senior

With the growing rate of the elderly, increasing the need for our services, the growth potential for our business is enormous. As long as we stand by our commitment of a professional company and live up to our own standards, we will surpass the

I visited a senior community center in my neighborhood known as the Cares Rao Musunuru, M.D. Enrichment Center. During my visit there I spoke with Mr. John who is the center manager and runs the center. Mr. John informed me that this Community Senior Center is one of several centers that offer a variety of activities to promote wellness, independence and enrichment to the lives and minds of the senior population throughout the community. He also informed me that this center is a branch of the Community Aging and Retirement Services organization (CARES) which also provides other services to the aging population, such as Home Health services, household services, adult care services and a Health Care Center that is at another location that members are referred to when in

The primary theme of “Good to Great” discusses what makes great companies and how to transfer good companies to great. All the methods that Collins has mentioned in the book are very practical. So, I truly think that we can apply all his ideas to any organization that serves older adults. Any managers or administers can learn a lot from this book, so as gerontologists. And, in this book review, I will try to combine my understanding about organizations and Collins’s concepts from the book, and find out if his concepts can really fit the general organizations that serve older adults.

However, success in China’s senior care industry is far from guaranteed. Cultural views, blurred government policies and rules, and high operational costs are all major obstacles to the success of foreign investors. The filial piety of Confucianism, which results in a disgrace against sending the elderly to a nursing home, still functions as cultural barrier in the market. Likewise, low respect for nursing specialists as well as a lack of professional training institutions lead to problems for investors who
