 The
Foundation for Health Care Continuums serves the specialized housing,
hospitality and healthcare needs of an ever-evolving market by pioneering new
products and services that anticipate the needs, wants and desires of our
elders.
The aging of America's population has only just begun, and the future for
nonprofit organizations offers both challenges and opportunities. As our society
begins to question the way we provide for the elderly, we believe there is an
opportunity to transform the way services are provided to the elderly that will
last for generations to come. Nonprofit organizations are leading the way in
this transformation. We see opportunities to develop new services to a younger,
healthier and more active population that focuses on wellness. We strive to
develop new models to deliver skilled nursing care for the very sick and frail
population.
As the baby boom generation begins to reach retirement age, its members want
continued vitality with meaningful purpose. They do not envision a lifestyle in
which they are cut off from the culture and society. They care about the
environment, education and technology. They expect to remain a vibrant part of
our society regardless of their age.
Our vision is driven by a desire to improve and change the existing senior
living service delivery models. We believe the current system is broken and only
a new system will offer the level of autonomy and dignity our elders deserve. We
believe our minds, bodies and spirits are best served when we have the ability
to make choices freely. We want to become a catalyst for change by embracing new
ways to meet the evolving needs of an aging population as we cope with illness,
loss and death.
Wellness and the concepts behind it have moved to the forefront of health
promotion and disease prevention. Innovative practices are being identified and
applied to senior residences and community programs. The Foundation is
evaluating pioneering programs that address the needs, interests, and well-being
of older adults.
