The landscape of support for both younger and older individuals is evolving, driven by changing expectations and a diverse customer profile. Higher standards of care and the demand for flexibility necessitate a strategic response. Existing clients require a duty of care, and recent changes emphasize the need for consultation regarding future services. Low-level prevention can mitigate costs, as highlighted in a CapGemini report. Effective pilot programs and assessments of new clients can facilitate smooth transitions and reduce the fear associated with change.
