Calls From Aging Dysfunctional Families-Handling the Entitled Type

August 15, 2023

Calls From Aging Dysfunctional Families-Types of aging dysfunctional families who can call you over the summer vacation

Narcissistic-Entitled Families

Calls from aging dysfunctional families’ adult children or Narcissistic Entited Families’ adult kids will happen during the summer. These VIP Clinet’s adult children call you desperately for private care over the summer visit. Their problems usually develop 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 home care are often headed by a scion with a narcissistic borderline personality. Watch Succession, Yellowstone, or reruns of  BIG Hair 89’s Dallas- award-winning shows you stream 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. When gathering with their adult children during the summer vacation at the family summer house or a family reunion they see the seams shredding in their parent’s minds or bodies and call you for help because they did not have those good enough parents and have no model to care for them as the parents usually did not care for the adult children as kids. They often have no interest in caring for the parents themselves, as they themselves are entitled. You need clinical skills to work with these families because of the diagnosis of narcissism, which can tear a country or family apart. 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)

Calls From Aging Dysfunctional families-Real & TV Narcissistic-Entitled Families:

Calls from aging dysfunctional families will come this summer- with adult children looking for help. They may see their parents faltering and face caring for them, which they have no plans to do. They will hire you like the private chef or the gardener, a service to carry out their wishes. Entitlement in their family causes the adult children to at times be as difficult and nasty as the parents. These VIP families usually develop 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 in Secession plays the beloved Scion to Love and Hate Logan Roy based on real-life narcissist Rupert Murdock. The adult children will call over the summer when they notice their aging parents’ confusion often because they still fear their aging, more confused will be a perhaps more fierce parent, and the adult kids have no nerve to approach telling them they care. You need clinical skills to deal with them because they are not on TV but asking for your help in real life and narcissism and borderline personalities take  the kind of clinical skills Claudia Fine and Nick Newcombe’s excellent chapter “Entitlement in the Aging Family”, Care Managers Working With the Aging Family, Jones and Bartlett) gives you if you read it. But if you watch  HBO Succession you see them in a series that can be an instructive clinical accompaniment.

Calls from Aging Dysfunctional families-Sumner Redstone’s VIP Family Struggles

Calls from aging dysfunctional families like Sumner Redstone’s 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. Mr Redstone was conserved by his daughter

These families call you often because they see you as a way to get control of their parents and their parent’s money. These are tricky situations where you must face conservatorship and real war with both parents and adult siblings fighting against each other for power and money, a replacement for the love they never received in the nest. So clinical skills are critical to handling them of all entitled families – they are Tyrannosaurus of dysfunctional families.

Does VIP Marketing and Sales Plan Transform Your Bottom Line?

July 12, 2023

Marketing and Sales Plan to find VIP Clients Concierge Clients Will Make You a Profit

You need a VIP Marketing and Sales Plan to find Concierge Clients. Why- you can transform your agency into a profitable service by finding concierge clients for your care management agency 

Why- a geriatric care manager is a powerful health care concierge, just like the new concierge medical services. This is a stellar selling point to potential GCM  clients who are in the top 10% income brackets.

Find Concierge Clients upper 10%  As Medicare 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 When You Find the Concierge Client

What are the Benefits care managers offer VIP clients? You offer highly personalized aging parent care. VIP Concierge clients can reach you at almost any time. You build a deep relationship with the client and family.stock-photo-16832488-tense-couple-in-therapy-session.jpg As a GPS through elder care, the GCM helps them step by step through one of the hardest journeys of their life. 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. with the 5-star VIP services like 24-hour on-call .They 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 sell VIP  benefits, not features to convince the clients to sign up for your services.

How Do the Benefits Not Features Get 3rd Parties To Refer To You ?

June 6, 2023

Benefits you bring to the 3rd party and their aging client.  

What makes 3rd Parties Refer to Geriatric Care Managers? The Benefits You Offer 3rd party and their aging client.  

Why would third parties like trust officers, elder law attorneys, conservators, or guardians refer a care manager to their aging client and family? If you have an Aging Life or GCM business you need to know.It is the benefits you bring to the 3rd party and their aging client.

Benefits you bring to the 3rd party and their aging client.

The Journal of Aging Life Care its March 2017 issue gives care managers some critical clues to solve this question.  The first benefit you offer is a practice that meets your client’s needs and major referral sources. Many clients- usually adult children, call you to start services independently. But a good majority of clients will call you because their attorney, bank trust officers, or CPA referred them. These third parties need to know what benefits you offer them and their clients if they are to make referrals to your agency. On the feeding chain of referrals, they are one of your most important sources to feed income for your business. You have to deliver what benefit you offer where they make money.

Great Research Results on What 3rd Parties Want in Benefit You Offer

The Florida Chapter of Aging Life invested in a 7-year research project to get some of these benefits you bring to the 3rd party, and their aging client answers about the best benefit you offer, published in the Aging Life Journal. in March 2017. This is the first research study on Aging Life Care that pinpoints what third parties who refer clients want and value in a care manager. It is groundbreaking.  

Reading this tells the care manager, not only what benefit you offer to include in your services but in your marketing material and sales pitch or elevator pitch to the third party. The study tells you what 3rd parties are looking for in a senior advocate for them. They found the number one reason third-party clients use care managers is they keep the client’s health care stable by assessing and monitoring their clients. So the important benefit to selling is keeping the client’s health care stable so the client is not calling the 3rd party.

The second benefit updating the third parties regularly. The benefit you bring to the 3rd party and their aging client is communication so the 3rd party always knows the client’s status. This can be through texts, email, phone calls, or a regular monthly report, which would also be done for the family. So use the key benefits of “constant updates “when you market to third parties, like wealth managers, elder law attorneys, guardians, assisted living, and doctors. Get a copy of this important Journal if you belong to ALCA or join, as this type of information is one of the many many benefits of the Aging Life Care Association by joining.
