Project Overview

According to AgingStats.gov there were just over 90 million people over 60 years of age living in the United States as of 2004. Given a total (2005) United States population figure of just under 296 million people, this means that almost a third of the population is minimally qualified as elderly! Within this elderly population, roughly 58% of those living in the community (about 52 million people) are estimated to have some (at least minimal) need for elder care.

Though there is much need for elder care in the United States, there is also a lot of elder care occurring. The Administration on Aging estimates that, out of roughly 106 million USA households existing in 2003, more than 22 million (or roughly one in five) were providing informal care to one or more elderly persons. Statistics also suggest that approximately one in 10 workers were employed in elder care related fields.

These staggering statistics show that the need for elder care is universal. If a family has not yet had to deal with providing elder care, it is likely that they know another family who has, and also likely that they will have occasion to provide elder care in the future.

Grace Services Group has many solutions for people who are aged, disabled, or somehow physically challenged. We even pioneered putting these solutions under one roof in a virtual design center, so that communities could find one source for all of their needs.

Now we are taking it one step further by creating a retail automated kiosk where your business can capture this segment of your customers and register them for our services. This keeps them in your community, and it also continues to keep them in your customer base.

Some of the key benefits:

• Attractive display of home modification
• Complete listing of services
• Easy online registration
• Simple system, just turn on
• No parts to break or replace
• Helps to keep people in the community
• Shows your involvement to the community
• Keeps families in your client base

The system is self contained with no need of any technical service from your staff. With an internet connection and power supply, all you need is to turn the system on every business day.

The software is monitored from the network and most updates and software fixes can be done remotely by our service technicians.

If your business offers a product or service that fits the scope of this project, we can even add your services to our growing number of solution providers.
