I'm glad that Erikson finally stated in terms that most people understand. What's makes Erickson communitites standout from the plethora of other senior continuing care communitites is it's medical care program. It realizes that the current way doctors are paid will actually mean worse care of seniors. Our system is designed to take care of young, fairly healthy people. It encourages the quick visit. however, most people know that seniors need more time and attention. Their care cannot be rushed. Infact, often jsut sitting and taking the time to talk to them helps much with feeling more like a person than just a patient. I appluad Erickson for using the often controvertial phrase concierge medicine to describe it's medical services. But it helps those of us trying to create similar community based concierge practices geared towards seniors without all the name calling and false criticisms. Thank you and keep up the ideal work.
