The Household Model Business Case:
An Editorial and Technical Brief
By Steve Shields and David Slack
Here it is, what every long-term care leader has been asking
for: the definitive work establishing financial feasibility of the
household model with financial data and tables to prove it.
This Technical Brief is of vital importance to any Board of
Directors, CEO, owner or master planning team that is considering
the Household Model in any of its various forms.
The Editorial and Technical Brief on The Household Model
Business Case by Steve Shields and David Slack provides
staffing and operations budget by house size, financial analysis
of optimum number of houses in a project, and the other key
ingredients necessary to establish your own household model
business plan.
"People buy products they want," the brief explains, "and if
the product is reliable, they become loyal customers. The
Household Model's product is 'residents who direct their own lives
in their own home' and it's a new product the public wants. That's
the basis for the business case. The rest of the case, the other
four principles, answers the next logical questions: How do we
produce it, what does it look like, and can we make money?"
In the brief, the authors:
- attempt to broaden the national conversation about the
Household Model and expand provider confidence in moving quickly
to adopt it;
- demonstrate the financial flexibility and feasibility of
the Household Model, trademarked or otherwise, based on the
decision that each provider makes;
- provide graphs and financial outcomes garnered from almost
a decade of Household Model operation; and
- remove the mystery and lay the groundwork for you to move
forward with confidence to the Household Model.
The brief condenses millions of dollars of research and
development spent by pioneering household providers into a single
document. As this ground-breaking publication itself explains,
time, money and energy spent on a feasibility study will ensure
greater success and money saved in the long run. Order your
