wellus self supporting
TRANSCRIPT
A retirement home for happy and healthy people > Where people are supported to stay active and do
the things they are able to. > Where people still contribute to their environment in
their own way and time. > Where doors are always open and visitors are
welcome any time of day. > Where there is little to no management. > Where young and elderly people share a good time. > Where they talk about people instead of clients.
It is time for social innovation!
> Over the last century healthcare has made wonderful progress. A lot of technological and medical innovations became possible. We now can treat diseases at a cellular level and even at a molecular level.
> Social innovation is as important as technological and medical innovation. However since The Plague we are still separating the sick from the healthy.
Our definition
Social innovation is changing behavior and social norms that emanates from social conviction. Re-evaluating social (non explicit) convictions frees the way for social innovations supported by the right technological and medical innovations.
Social convictions in healthcare > We need more care. > There is not enough budget, which inhibits us to
provide good care. Therefore we need more money.
> People are happy when someone else provides them with care and relieves them from daily worries.
> Society needs to take care of seniors. > Seniors in retirement homes have no to little
value to society.
Think different > Happy people are healthy people.!> We need less care.!> We need less money for care.!> People want to be independent.!> Professionals together with family and
caregivers need to take care of seniors. !> Seniors have a great value to society.!
Business case 1: Home made meals
It is a misconception that cooking and buying groceries yourself would be more expensive than a meal service. It is actually cheaper! It is not only cheaper, it also has a social impact to cook for each other, it creates a more active lifestyle. So it makes people happy and healthy.
Business case 2: Activities
It is very beneficial for seniors to stay active, involved and engaged with others.
> Being active increases engagement, improves confidence, resilience and control, reduces anxiety and depression, as well as reduces symptoms of disease and improves function to help maintain independence.
Business case 3: Social contribution
Seniors made a positive net contribution of £40 billion to the UK economy in 2010. Furthermore, as the overall number of people over 65 increases and people remain healthier for longer, opportunities to make a positive contribution through work or volunteering will grow. As a result, by 2030, the positive net contribution of over 65s will rise to an estimated £77 billion.
Valuing the Socio-Economic Contribution of Older People in the UK
We believe this radical new healthcare business model increases wellbeing and health, and reduces care consumption!
Imagine 5% increase of seniors in a retirement home that would
cook, for two. That is 10% more of those cheaper meals.
5% increase of seniors being more active, for example by cleaning their own room. In only 3 months 65-95 year olds can rejuvenate 20 years of lost strength through activity and exercise. That is a lot of rejuvenated years.
5% increase in socially active seniors, for example running a library. That is a lot of net contribution euro's.
That is a lot more happy and healthy people.
European Union about active ageing (2012) “Active ageing means growing old in good health and as a full member of society, feeling more fulfilled in our jobs, more independent in our daily lives and more involved as citizens. No matter how old we are, we can still play our part in society and enjoy a better quality of life. The challenge is to make the most of the enormous potential that we harbour even at a more advanced age."
