Unmet social needs can have a negative impact on an individual's overall well-being, resulting in a sense of emptiness that goes beyond just bodily necessities. Feelings of isolation and emotional pain can arise when individuals lack meaningful relationships, understanding, and a sense of belonging. The prioritization of unaddressed social needs plays a pivotal role in cultivating a nurturing community and advancing mental well-being, hence bolstering the whole social structure. The evaluation of unmet social needs holds great importance for mental health professionals, as it provides essential understanding of the overall well-being of individuals. Mental health experts have the ability to customize interventions to address unique needs by recognizing deficiencies in social ties, support networks, and a feeling of community. The acknowledgement and resolution of unfulfilled social requirements not only enhance therapeutic approaches but also empower individuals to cultivate resilience and bolster their mental well-being in the face of isolation and disengagement.

At the heart of healthcare is the deep bond of compassion and care between a doctor and their patient. This connection goes beyond just treatment; it’s about being a source of strength, comfort, and hope during life's most challenging moments. Medical philanthropy extends this bond further, empowering physicians to impact lives in profound ways: - Supporting underprivileged communities  - Funding vital research - Providing crucial medical supplies to those in need. Whether it's through your time, resources, or experience, your involvement in medical philanthropy can truly make a difference. 👉 Drop a 💙 if this post resonates with you! ⏬ #MedicalPhilanthropy #HealthcareImpact #GivingBack #medicalprofessionals #medicalcareer #doctors #physicians #primefinancials

Even in the early stage discussions of increasing user pay in aged care, the national conversation appears to be already having an impact. Despite not being our target audience at all, Community Home Australia is already receiving enquiries for full fee for service admissions (our first user pay guest will be moving in soon) and we have had 5 new private pay members join our programs in the last 3 days. While the sector is heartily applauding the introduction of more user pay to fill the coffers, are they actually inadvertently starting the great movement away from institutional care? There is not a nursing home in the country that can match us for staffing ratios, educational standards, community connectedness, meaningful engagement or person centred care. Clearly people don't mind paying, but expect something more than mediocrity and institutionalisation.

🌟 Did you know that more than one in 10 California nursing facility residents have low care needs and could potentially thrive in more residential, supportive settings like assisted living communities? 🌟 The California Health Care Foundation's latest publication, "What is Assisted Living? Opportunities to Advance Community-Based Care for Medi-Cal Enrollees," highlights a critical opportunity to enhance care for Medi-Cal enrollees by offering them the option to live in settings that align with their needs and preferences. Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) play a pivotal role in this landscape. PACE is designed to serve individuals at risk of nursing home placement, providing them with the comprehensive care they need while allowing them to remain in their own homes and communities. This includes those residing in assisted living facilities, where PACE can support their desire for independence and a higher quality of life. Thank you to the California Health Care Foundation for highlighting solutions that honor older adults' wishes to live with dignity in the community. #ElderCare #PACE #AssistedLiving #CommunityCare #HealthCareInnovation #SeniorCare
