Upper 10% Can Afford You Because Medicare Sadly Does Not Cover Long Term Care

These well-to-do  VIP Concierge clients can afford to pay privately for long-term care geriatric care management and private duty home care because they are financially in the upper 10% of the economy. Long-term care is not covered by Medicare, so only these wealthy Americans can pay for it.

Why is offering concierge services a great idea for this group of seniors? A geriatric care manager is a highly skilled professional who acts as a personal assistant to the aging family delivering the long term care services they need at the right time, the right place for the right level of care

What  Great Benefits You Bring To The Concierge Client

A geriatric care manager’s highly personalized service meets all the needs of the aging family and the client. GCMs are like a concierge at a 5-star hotel there to serve the family by solving their caregiving problems and making elder care more seamless. But here is a deal-breaker, most care managers did not know they must have. You need a  marketing and sales background to do an intake and get the client in your services.

 Types of aging families who can afford Homecare &care management

Families who can afford geriatric care management and home care long-term can do so because they are VIP  clients. They are often headed by a scion with a narcissistic borderline personality. 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)

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  ( example Former President Trump)They struggled with a borderline personality that went undiagnosed or was formally diagnosed and untreated.

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
