When we talk about our senior care concept, sometimes it’s hard for people to visualize. Most think of a big, nasty, drab 100+ bed assisted living or nursing home where grandma or grandpa gets terrible care. NOPE.We are building a beautiful, first-class, 16 suite care community that our families and team members love and people rave about!#ItsAHome#PurposeDrivenRealEstateInvesting#OurJourneyToAssistedLivingEntrepreneurship#AssistedLivingEntrepreneur#PurposeImpactFinancialFreedom #YourOnlyLimitsAreTheSizeOfYourIdeasAndTheDegreeOfYourDedication#dreamBigger

Ouch! Talk about sticker shock. Do you have a plan for your long-term care? Did you know that the cost of senior long-term care👴👵 is approaching the cost of raising our children? According to Genworth’s Cost of Care: Trends & Insights study, the annual national median cost for assisted living facility care services was $54,000 in 2021. And the average cost of a private room in a nursing home in 2023 has surpassed $100,000 a year 💸, according to Senior Living. Meanwhile, the USDA estimates that the cost of raising a child until the age of 18 is around $233,610. With nursing homes and assisted living expenses on the rise, it's crucial to prepare and explore various choices for the well-being of our loved ones ❤️.#SeniorCare #LongTermCare #FinancialStrategy

Over the past 7 days one of my family members has spent over 24 hours (over 2 sessions) in the WVT Hereford A&E Department. That is after waiting 12 hours for an ambulance. They were suffering with severe chest pain and breathing difficulties. Now Hereford A&E, is it any wonder that staff retention is at an all time low when they are subjected to such appalling working conditions?For patients however, it is an absolute disgrace, the waiting area for the whole of A&E, where my family member spent most time is effectively a small corridor. A small corridor with very limited seating. An area where on Thursday evening, there were as many people standing as were seated and on Monday up to 8 over 70's were left standing. I can only think that this is part of the ex Prime Ministers attempt to reduce the aging population. Nobody should be subjected to this appalling environment. There is clearly not enough space in this "new" waiting area for A&E and combined with the lack of space where triage is attempted, patient care and dignity is severely compromised. Combine this with a GP system which attempts make access to a doctor ever more difficult you have a structure which is not fit for purpose across Herefordshire.
