Case Study: Secured Emergency Healthcare Stimulus Grant
Introduction:
Healthcare Solutions played a pivotal role in securing a $500,000 stimulus grant for a cluster of long-term care facilities, preventing them from closure after the COVID-19 pandemic. We initiated a collaborative effort, presenting a compelling case to the appropriate Government Ministry to secure a stimulus grant. This strategic initiative not only preserved three care homes but also spotlighted the crucial importance of long-term care homes.

Challenge:
The challenge was clear: prevent closures and bridge financial gaps threatening the essential services of Long-Term Care. Orchestrating a persuasive pitch to the Ministry was key to securing the much-needed grant. We assembled a cohesive working committee to voice the urgency and significance of funding these facilities.
Approach:
Healthcare Solutions consulted with all three facilities to strategize on how to mitigate the risk of repeating a need for emergency funding. We worked with them each to find areas of effective cost savings, including taking in more patients/clients, developing consistent fundraising plans, and restructuring staffing and shifts. This supported our funding request.
Outcomes:
Our compelling plea resonated, leading to a $500,000 stimulus grant that breathed new life into the allocated care homes, ensuring their continuous operations. Beyond financial relief, the initiative raised awareness about the importance of long-term care in our society.
Conclusion:
Healthcare Solutions, an independent consultant with years of industry experience, is unencumbered by political, commercial or social ties or obligations and is perfectly positioned to bring parties together in collaborations. We care about ensuring quality care continuity, advocating for essential services, and safeguarding the wellbeing of vulnerable individuals.
