Services for the Aging in America: Four Scenarios for the Next Decade

The only confident prediction we can make about the future is that it will be different from today. But how quickly or slowly might things change? And in what ways will these changes occur? Our new Services for the Aging in America: Four Scenarios for the Next Decade publication was derived from a strategic scenario planning process involving major stakeholders. We sought input from consumer advocacy groups, aging services providers, government oversight and regulatory agencies, labor unions, the media, financial professionals and other leaders. The results, presented in four possible scenarios, look at solutions that will serve both the current and future generations. Services for the aging in the future will be greatly shaped by the actions of various interested parties. The book is an excellent resource for any provider considering a strategic scenario planning process. The scenarios can be used to stimulate debate and create strategies. The 88-page book contains 24 charts and graphs, outlines key challenge areas and provides an overview of aging services. A CD ROM is included with a Power Point presentation to help you advocate a strategic scenario planning process with your board of directors.
