Even if we don’t want to admit it, politics do play a role in the senior care industry. Sometimes this takes shape in very obvious ways, such as with policy creation, laws being passed, and executive moves that shape the industry one way or another. For those that have an older loved one, it is important to pay attention to proposed policies and the stances of candidates when voting. We want to vote for political candidates that are going to take strides toward protecting the elderly and the care industry as a whole.
But the role of politics isn’t always so obvious when it comes to the influence that an election or a political movement can have on the senior care business. For example, elections can often have a profound impact upon the economy and the stock market in particular, and that includes health care and senior care companies. Fear is a part of that, unfortunately. The socialistic economies that some Presidential candidates have promoted may lead to a downfall in care company stock prices, leading to less money in these fields. That can have a profound impact on how care is administered in some instances.
Ultimately, this isn’t the main concern of their platforms. But it could be an outcome of an election. Only time will tell.
It doesn’t matter if you or your family support the Republicans, the Democrats, or some other party. Senior care really isn’t about politics at all. It’s about people. We have an obligation to help those around us regardless of their political leanings, their religion, their race, or anything else that might seem like a difference. We are all humans and we have a bond way deeper than any of those things. Politics can be divisive, but that’s not a reason to stop caring about those around us.
Senior care–and health care in general–go way beyond any of these things. Care is about helping others. Political structures should take this into account, and oftentimes they do. This can make access and quality of care much better, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes, there are things that we need to do on our own to help our elderly loved ones. This is where a service like ours can be a big help. Navigating the senior care system can be confusing, but when you have a professional service on your side, it becomes a lot easier.
