Want Narcissistic Families Who Can Afford Homecare&Care Management?

May 5, 2022

 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

Can Truck Drivers & VIP Elders Afford Homecare & Care Management ?

April 27, 2022

 Who Can Afford Homecare and Care Management?

afford homecare and care management

Yes, both truck drivers and narcissistic, entitled elders can afford home care and care management. Older people who can pay for private homecare and care management- long-term- can do so because they have the financial resources. These resources are usually over a million dollars in assets or having a defined pension. 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 can afford homecare and care management:

Entitlement in these families usually develops from a specific kind of “not good enough parenting”.In these narcissistic entitled families, the parents themselves have struggled with personality disorders, most frequently narcissistic borderline personality  (example President Trump). They grappled with a borderline personality that went undiagnosed or was formally diagnosed and untreated.

The narcissistic or borderline parent essentially does not experience the child/children as separate and discreet from themselves and, moreover, uses the child/children to serve parental needs.  This parent-child relationship is characterized by severe boundary issues in which seduction and abandonment are ever-present dynamics and where emotional unpredictability and instability are constant.  ( Fine and Newcombe- Entitlement in the Aging Family, Care Managers Working With the Aging Family)

Rich and Famous-Entitled Families Can Afford Homecare and care management

These families are identified by the parents’ socioeconomic, financial, and political prominence.  ( example President Reagan)They are families in which all basic needs, services, resources, and creature comforts are obtained via income, assets, abundant discretionary cash flow, and/or come from the political position, station, or power.  Once again, the entitlement of the family is passed from the parent to the child who in turn brings these behaviors and actions to the caregiving milieu and care management relationship.  In this category, the entitlement arises from a family that is accustomed to purchasing everything.  They look to pay others to meet their needs (as opposed to families who must themselves find and orchestrate ways to meet basic and complex needs themselves or with the help of the extra-familial system).  Often these families have household staff, i.e., nannies, butlers, drivers, private pilots, cooks, and maids.  They may have available to the business and family lawyers and accountants, as well as, teams of medical professionals and concierge physicians.  Consequently, in almost all situations they are uninvolved in processes, especially those that are difficult, stressful, and time-consuming.  ( Fine and Newcombe- Entitlement in the Aging Family, Care Managers Working With the Aging Family)

afford homecare and care management

Well-heeled Seniors can Afford Homecare and Care Management,

According to the New York Times,  middle-class retirees who buy shoes from Payless but have a defined pension can afford homecare and care management when they need it. They rode the post-war economy, held jobs long term,   through that defined pension (no 401K) face a very healthy financial picture in aging.  They worked for city, county, and state governments are teachers, truck drivers, social workers, and subway drivers, or were union members in all trades. They had a career at Xerox, IBM, Campbell Soup, and big Fortune 500 companies.

 

Professionals- Physician, Attorneys, CPAs can afford homecare and care management

This group made a very healthy living during the late 20th Century, probably had a defined pension, and have very lucrative investments that allow them to afford home care and care management. They usually come from nearly iStock_000063346301_Medium-1.jpgnormal families and have been well parented although you will find a mixture of dysfunctional aging families. Their adult children tend to be supportive of their parents, although again you will find a mixture of dysfunctional families in this category.

What GCM Benefits to Offer Wealth Management – Trust Departments?

June 21, 2021

Signing Up ENTITLED CLIENTS

Selling your care management services to wealthy clients who can afford you means marketing your  benefits and features to third parties like

Trust officers or wealth managers, who will make referrals of these key client.

But your most compelling sales message to a trust department or any 3rd party is not that you have something wonderful to sell, but rather “I understand what you need and what will benefit you as a wealth manager or trust officer.”

You sell GCM or ALCA to wealth managers through the VIP benefits you bring them with the Benefit method…

You offer the trust officer the benefits of  high-end services from your resource databases like private drivers, private chefs, car services, exclusive golf clubs and recreation that  his or her private trust clients want. You explain to the wealth manager this Benefit so the wealth manager will be assured you know what his high-end clients prefer for services (and will take this off their plate)!

The Trust officer or wealth manager benefits from your skills in working with difficult entitled clients who can be narcissistic, demanding and unreasonable. The Benefit to the wealth manager is that is taken off their plate so he or she can do what she does  best…manage money. 

 

  • The Trust officer or wealth manager benefits from your skill of regularly monitoring  the health and psychosocial status of the older client, and report back to the financial advisors when a change in care needs or level of care is needed. The Trust officer or wealth manager benefits from your skills in referring to the very top  medical and psychological 3rd parties for clients so have the highest quality VIP health care and quality of life. The Benefit is a wealth manager can tap your list of gold standard services in the community, and not have to find them or his own.
  • The Trust officer or wealth manager benefits from your skills in  working with her concierge clients individually –The Benefit is the entitled trust client feel that they have a 1-1 personal concierge who will serve them individually in finding the best, VIP care, they feel they deserve
