Are You Marketing Private Care Management to The Concierge Family- Who Can Afford You?

May 25, 2023

Who is Your Market in an Aging Life or geriatric care management business?

How Do you find Concierge Clients? Your market as a care manager is the rich and famous people, your concierge clients, and three other wealthy groups. The lower 90% only call during a crisis, which usually leads to home care. Homecare costs between 4000-6000 a month. This is why you need to serve that top 10%. According to Pew research, the upper 10% can afford that in this nation of broad income disparity, and 90% below cannot.

Demand and not need determines the success of an eldercare business like aging life or geriatric care manager business. This fundamental fact of life must be considered when developing a business plan for a for-profit, fee-based, Geriatric care management business and so the question becomes how do you find concierge clients?.

Who Can Really Afford Geriatric Care Management

This subset really represents the top 10% of the economic spectrum and, more precisely, among the rich and famous, the top 1% who actually held onto its share of national wealth in the 2008 economic crisis and gained quite a bit with Trump’s tax cut in 2019

Why Need vs. Demand is the Only Way to Fiscally Survive in GCM A Hard As That May Be to GCM’s

Want Narcissistic Entitled Families for Homecare&Care Management client?

April 18, 2023

Types of aging families who can afford Homecare &care management

Narcissistic-Entitled Families

Narcissistic Entited Families can afford private care, usually developing from a specific kind of “not good enough parenting” where the parents themselves struggle with personality disorders, like
narcissistic borderline personality. Families who can afford geriatric care management and home care long-term can do so because they are VIP clients. These narcissistic families, who can afford care-managed homecare are often headed by a scion with a narcissistic borderline personality. Watch Succession, Yellowstone award-winning shows you steam and you know who these Scions are. We love to hate them but binge on their evil ways. These VIP Clients have the financial resources, to pay 4-6K for home care and long-term geriatric care management which is usually over a million dollars in assets. Part of this is drawn from Claudia Fine and Nick Newcombe’s excellent chapter “Entitlement in the Aging Family”, Care Managers Working With the Aging Family, Jones and Bartlett)

Real & TV Narcissistic-Entitled Families:

Entitlement in these VIP families usually develops from a specific kind of “not good enough parenting” in which the parents themselves have struggled with personality disorders, most typically, in this type of family, narcissistic borderline personality (for example Former President Trump)They struggled with a borderline personality that went undiagnosed or was formally diagnosed and untreated. We can also see this Narcissistic entitled family head in Brian Cox who plays the beloved Scion to Love and Hate Logan Roy based on real-life narcissist Rupert Murdock.

Sumner Redstone’s VIP Family Struggles

Sumner Redstone is another example of this type of narcissistic borderline personality in heading a VIP family. He was a Media Magnate who founded CBS Viacom with a net worth of 500 billion. His narcissistic borderline personality created a long-term struggle with his family over inheritance and control after he developed dementia. My Redstone was conserved by his daughter

Solo Agers Are Vulnerable to Social isolation

March 5, 2023

Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation and mental health problems, particularly if they lack close family or friendship ties.

Also, known as Elder Orphans, Solo Agers represent about 22% of older adults in the United States. Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation or are at risk of doing so in the future, according to a 2016 study. “This is an often overlooked, poorly understood group that needs more attention from the medical community,” said Maria Torroella Carney, the study’s lead author, and chief of geriatric and palliative medicine at Northwell Health in New York. Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation, according to a recently released survey of 500 people who belong to the Elder Orphan Facebook Group, with 8,500 members. Seniors living alone, being unmarried, and not having family or friends nearby are more often lonely and more likely to be depressed and have a poor quality of life. In the study understanding older adults who are aging alone 45% reported being sad and 52% reported being lonely.

Because adults with children may effectively be solo if their adult children live far away or they have a child with a disability who can’t care for them, or they are estranged, more aging adults are looking elsewhere for support to increase their quality of life.

Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation although loneliness is a serious concern as all ages are found out during COVID. During the epidemic loneliness, isolation, and depression were experienced by everyone including kids who could not go to school. Seniors experience this all the time. Social isolation is associated with a multitude of problems, such as high blood pressure, insomnia, depression, and cognitive decline. If you lose the ability to drive, develop mobility issues, or live far from friends and family, Solo Agers may have very limited social interaction while aging in place. this a poor quality of life

Geriatric Care Managers can bring socialization, increase quality of life and so much more to Solo Agers.

Increasing Quality of Life socialization and networks of friends can help solo agers who are lonely. They can also help Solo Agers who are planning their aging plan to increase socialization to avoid pitfalls that so many seniors face in retirement- loneliness, isolation, and depression. The great thing about Solo Agers is that they are planning their aging, are highly educated and have the income for care managers, and can afford private care aging without Medicare covering long-term care
