PROGRESS ON SENIOR
HOUSING PROJECT
New Hope HealthCare, Inc., a
Scranton, Pennsylvania based national health care
consulting firm has completed the first phase of the
three phase study on the potential for a multi-service
project for seniors on the campus of the former Tarkio
College. The Need Analysis was submitted to the board of
directors of Heartland Educational Institute for review.
The study concluded that there is a significant need in
the primary target area, which includes four counties in
Missouri and three each in Iowa and Nebraska, for some
senior services. While the study concludes that some
need does exist the second phase of the study, which is
currently underway, will reveal the concept design, as
well as the feasibility of such a design to meet those
needs. When complete the final phase of the study will
be to conduct a market study to properly determine if
the market will support the concept.
It is important to segment the
various phases of the study. Too often this process is
done all at once to save time and money, but proves, at
a later date, to be inaccurate. It is far better to
segment the process and follow the logical process to
first determine needs, then design a program to meet the
needs, determine the feasibility and finally ascertain
the potential for the project to be successful in the
market place. This allows for modifications to assure
the sponsor and potential clients, as well as the local
community, that the project has a high probability of
success. Many of the most successful senior projects in
the nation have followed this time tested planning
model.
The final decision on the project
will be handled by Heartland Educational Institute.
