To obtain a profitable target, Golden Village would need to make sure the profits are measurable. There are several factors that have placed Golden Village in the financial predicament. The current issues with CCRC are the location, the cost, and the reimbursement trends. Relocating could possibly increase the revenue for the CCRC, but a move would create a financial burden for Golden Village. The CCRC can look into renovating and improving the current CCRC to meet the needs of current and future residents. This will draw more residents to the facility and increase the margin for the CCRC. In comparison to the assisted living and independent housing units, Golden Village can match their prices with competitors in the market. Pricing can have
a sizeable influence on the firm’s profitability (Cleverly and Cameron, 2007). Changes in prices and services will decrease the cost of living of the CCRC, and increase the revenue for the facility. Different services will have different costs, therefore the CCRC is able to measure what services best the for facility. Regarding the change in current reimbursement trends, Golden Village an increase the excess to more private pay residents. This can prevent any offset that can occur with Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements levels change. The profitable target can be measured based on the cost of living of the surroundings areas. Once the margins have improved and the debt in consolidated, Golden Village can look into branching out to relocate to a suburban area. Organizations with high profits and new plants have a greater chance of being in business long. (Cleverly and Cameron, 2007). Golden Village can increase the profit margins with a new facility, but the facility will need to make sure the $12 million from the sale is obtainable. If not, the CCRC will not be in business long, unless the relocation profit exceeds the cost.
When Kaiser decides to open a new facility, they rely on their marketing and public relations departments. They consider demographics of the area to serve their community in an efficient way. They do survey of surrounding areas to know who leaves around that geographic area. The chosen location should be in the heart of the community to be easy accessible for their members.

It is obvious that there is a large gap between where Coastal Medical Center is and where they need and want to be. When comparing CMC’s competitors, Johnson Medical Center and Lutheran Medical Center, CMC needs to provide more efficient, high quality care and focus on more profitable priorities instead of funding multiple unsuccessful projects such as the fifty-three unfinished developments.

When horrific crimes occur in large cities, many of them can be chalked up to gang violence or to the larger population of that specific city. But when horrific crimes happen in small cities like Lincoln, Nebraska, people begin to ask questions like who did this and why. In 1958, a nineteen year old man named Charles Starkweather put the entire state of Nebraska and possibly the entire nation in a state of terror. With his murder spree taking only three days, Starkweather had collected a body count of ten bodies, including two teenagers and a young child. Understanding Starkweather’s past and state of mind begins to answer the second question of why.
Castle Vale was built in between 1964 to 1969 to accommodate 20,000 people (Mornement, 2005). In the early days, the estate was comprised of 34 tower blocks alongside a mix of maisonettes and houses. This area was initially redeveloped throughout the 60s to provide houses to the people who had to be relocated through slum clearance in Birmingham City Centre.
In the end of 18th century to 19th century, more and more people began moving into developed cities. Especially in New York City, thousands of new immigrants were seeking a better life than the one they had before. Tenements were built as a way to accommodate this growing population, and the majority people who lived in tenements were working-class, cause back to that time most tenements were located near factories, tenements were highly concentrated in the poorest neighborhoods of the city. A typical tenement building had four to five stories, in order to maximize the number of renters and to maximize their profits, builders wasted little space and buildings that had been single-family residence were divided into multiple living spaces to fit in more people, early tenements might dwell in almost 90 percent of their lots. There were no housing laws to protect the rights for people who lived in tenements until they stated The First
The ethical discernment model described by Slosar (2004) and developed for use at Ascension Health will assist us as we analyze this case. It reminds us that discernment engages our spirituality, intellect, imagination, intuition, and beliefs. It is decision-making that reaches into the heart of our beliefs about God, creation, others, and ourselves. It therefore requires structured time for reflection and prayer from the beginning and throughout the process.
Case introduction: A 19 year-old gentlemen, SS, presented to station 20N through the emergency department, following what was described by friends and family as “bizarre behavior.” SS had recently begun college at a local liberal arts school. He had done well during the first semester, but began to struggle academically during the second semester. Family attributed the decline in academic success to an increase in class size, which made SS uncomfortable. Several weeks prior to hospital admission, SS became increasingly isolated, spending the majority of his time in the dorm room and less time in class. Friends and roommates reported that SS was exhibiting bizarre behavior, often confiding in friends that he was being “spied on” by others and that people around him could “read his thoughts.” SS also endorsed a strange delusion in which those around him would blink simultaneously as a form of communication. All of the aforementioned events became overly distressing to SS and his family, so they sought medical help. SS had a limited psychiatric history for which he had seen a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist had put him on an anti-psychotic medication some months prior, but SS self-discontinued the medication after just a several week trial. As a result of the above, and a lack of explanation regarding the past psychiatric referral, the events were described as “first-episode psychosis.” Discussion regarding the diagnostic work-up followed.

Bernard, and Jefferson parishes is already oversaturated.

One more theoretical explanation for the development of community is given by John Perkins who has suggests that the process of community development is based on 3 R’s. They are relocation, redistribution and reconciliation. He has suggested that these three components puts a strong focus on the building of indigenous leadership (Perkins, 1982). According to this model relocation refers to the process in which the agent or the resident move into the community where he or she wishes to bring the change. The element of relocation is not taken as the expertise or the outsider impact but it is taken as the step which is done with the collaboration of the process of community development. Relocation helps the worker or agent of the community to
