Mr Kohler,

I am writing to inform you about a new insurance product which I learnt about at the conference I attended last week, as a representative from our firm. The insurance product is actually very innovative and I was amazed at how useful this product would be for our firm as it could enable us to attract a great number of customers. The product is called ‘Long Term Care Insurance’ and as the name suggests, this insurance product protects a person’s financial resources if something happens to their health in retirement. This product basically aids the elderly should they face any form of health disorder

Also, last week I came across this statistic, which illustrated that Canada’s life expectancy in 2015 is 81.76 years at birth compared to 77.32 years at birth in 1992; this implies Canadians are adopting healthier lifestyles which shall allow them to live longer. As people tend to live longer, they tend to acquire some form of age-related medical issue which would then need to be funded as they would fall short in performing all six activities of daily living. Hence, I feel through the long term care insurance one can be aided through the services mentioned above.

Moreover, by obtaining the policy one is refrained from seeking assistance from family and friends, which could be an obligation. Family and friends could aid up to a certain amount, however there is a limit. Visits to the nursing homes, assisted living-centres and home care are quite expensive and one can not predict their stay at one of the above places. Long stays and usage of the services at these places is very costly and through our new product we can alleviate the mental stress one would face regarding their future

    The care planning meeting revolved around an 11 year old named, Katy, who was/is subject to care order. The rules around contact with Katy had been made very explicit to Katy’s mother and her Aunt, at the time of the care order being made. However upon receiving the case I learned that Katy had been having unsupervised contact with both her mother and her Aunt, as a result of a lack of adherence to the care order by Katy’s foster carers. As a result Katy had been moved from her previous foster carers to new residential home. Unfortunately Katy’s move from her foster carers to her new residential home was not perfect and may have been a cause for anxiety for Katy due to the uncertainty of her…

    I have been working in a nursing home for a little over a year as a dietary aide and have witnessed many problems within the dietary department. The root cause to all of the problems in the dietary department is bad management from my former manager, Sara. Sara was the dietary manager whose job was to manage the kitchen staff, order food and supplies, and plan out meals and snacks for special events at the nursing home. Bad management existed in the kitchen because Sara gave overtime to her employees like it was candy. The kitchen was understaffed for the past couple of months and so the only way that Sara resolved this issue was to give out overtime.…

In 2008, the President elect Barack Obama, who was a Democrat, with a House and Senate controlled by Democrats have worked to write laws for a health care reform.…
