Defining the Issue
• The Carson Manor had a history of apprehensive with cost disorganizations
• Over hiring non-managemental staff (basically two to one)
• Budget is enormously incompetent in keeping and taking care of the elderly within the nursing home
• Cost savings not in corresponding terms
• Reporting structure too complex, and unnecessary
• Current operations do not meet PSD objectives
Analyzing Case Data
• Patience Care Ltd Cost $35,000
• Clark-Hamilton Ltd Cost $47,000
• Standard Care Ltd Cost $77,000
Alternatives
• 1. Do noting
• 2. Standard Care proposal
• 3. Rearrange existing structure (costs and management) Recommendation:
• Standard Care would be an optimal consultant for Carson Manor based on previous experience, it is expected that savings should be in the order of 8 to 10% of total expenses, which would be approximately $1.1 million in the case of Carson Manor.
• Reporting structure should be minimized in an effective manner.
