Disruption models emerging in village care

The care sector is undergoing rapid and fundamental change as a series of factors and forces come together in the market.

Demographic shifts, federal reforms, technology and evolving attitudes and expectations are now shaping the models of the future, putting care in the home, front and centre with a number of organisations putting propositions into the market.

Retirement Living providers are disrupting the existing model of service provision to ensure they provide a community of independent care workers and nurses offering services directly to clients and have the capacity to be flexible to the changing needs of residents. Importantly, where people need assistance to live independently, new service models are ensuring they can find, connect with and hire directly, support workers they need rather than experience the capacity for decision-making limited by their environment.

Greater choice, control, transparency and affordability are just some of the benefits on offer to residents, if operators are able to rethink the way they do business.

Care and access to services are fundamental to customers and providers need the flexibility to cater to needs.

These types of models allow operators of all sizes, but particularly small to medium, to provide a care offering immediately for their residents’ benefit via third party support.
