Hinweis der Redaktion
Medicare spending has been doubling every 10 years.
More attention will be paid to prevent hospitalization
Strong social engagement contributes to successful aging- this is key from many angles
Depression is expected to lead the cause of global disease list by 2030 (according to WHO)
Seniors- own age
Boomers- with younger persons
Community means something different to everyone
Need to offer a variety of programs- focus on community and personality
Life- they schedule around time to join friends- enjoy themed parties, have fun!
Introverts- prefer a good book or movie at home- natural, not weird, and not broken humans
Must be human = need for this connection
Automated or impersonal approaches are less effective
Personalization- reinforces high expectations of this cohort for customization and variety in life
Communicate- boomers don’t like services, they ask for a manager. Everything is scrutinized. Seniors, might not complain and just accept it but it is not acceptable!
