Healthy Outcomes: The pandemic’s impact on senior service providers and strategizing for the future
Dec. 7, 2021 · Authored by Mark J. Ross, Edward A. Klik
Senior services providers and executives have begun reflecting on the past two years of the pandemic, assessing their continuing challenges and planning for the future. Among the many challenges facing senior services providers as a result of COVID-19 are occupancy challenges, staffing shortages, and supply chain issues. On the positive side, there have been several government programs that have provided funding to assist providers in meeting the challenges caused by the pandemic. Senior services providers are creating innovative strategic scenario planning strategies that will help them prepare for potential business disruptions in the future, and are also evaluating other strategic opportunities, including mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, etc. to better position their organizations for the future.
