| Market Research |
| Third Age will conduct market research to determine the market acceptance and feasibility of the proposed service program. This research will include identification of the primary service area, demographic trend analysis, competitor profiling, key informant interviews and market demand analysis. |
| |
| Board and Staff Education |
| It is often difficult for traditional facility-based management and boards to enthusiastically support a home and community-based service strategy. Third Age will meet with staff and boards to educate them on current and future trends in the industry and the increasing consumer demand for services that support successful aging at home. Third Age can also help an organization decide which type of program will best support the organization’s current operation and future strategic directions, and how best to enter the market (acquisition, joint venture, green field start-up). |
| |
| Financial Forecasting and Business Plan Development |
| Third Age will assist in preparing budget projections and developing a business plan that can be used both to determine the feasibility of success and to guide the start-up operations. |
| |
| Grant Writing |
| It is often necessary to obtain outside funding for the development and start-up of a new program. Third Age can assist in locating likely sources of funding, writing grant proposals and meeting with potential donors. |
