Making a Difference: Investing in Better Lives for Seniors
It’s time to make a difference in senior care. Nelly Some’s new and refreshing approach will teach you how you can invest in helping seniors thrive!
Senior care in America is changing. When easing into their twilight years, more and more people are looking for alternatives to the traditional care offered by nursing homes and assisted living facilities, where overworked nurses and staff can’t offer personal care and attention to each of their deserving patients. But what other option do seniors have?
In Making a Difference, business leader Nelly Some offers a refreshing answer to the old-fashioned approach to elderly residential care homes. Drawing on decades of experience working with seniors, Nelly has developed a unique and successful model for creating and running these facilities, which cater to small groups and individuals and offer an environment that allows seniors to flourish. The care home residents are regarded with respect, given a sense of independence, and placed in a setting where they can enjoy life with caregivers who treat them like family.
Making a Difference gives investors (along with providers, caregivers, and anyone involved in the senior care industry) an inside look at this incredible atmosphere and culture—a model that provides seniors with top-notch attention and high quality of life while generating significant income for investors. Sharing her extensive expertise in the medical field and with running care homes, Nelly lays out opportunities for investors to achieve both lasting financial returns and better outcomes for seniors. We all have a stake in improving the lives of America’s aging population. In Making a Difference, Nelly shows how better investments can create a better world.

A strong book that offers options for everyone to choose a better way to care for seniors that need more care than most families can provide at home.
If you’re not looking for a place to care for your senior family members, perhaps you want to be a caregiver and do it better or you’d like to invest in this area of health care that’s growing exponentially. All of these topics are covered by author, Nelly Some. Her book, MAKING A DIFFERENCE, is not a look into the industry in general. It’s all about HER personal journey in the senior care community and how her approach and facilities are a superior product.
Some’s writing is clear and easy to understand. She is inclusive and provides all the information needed to be successful in the senior care business should you choose to follow her format. Some offers her expertise, contact information and various levels of involvement to meet the needs of readers. At times, the book felt like an hard sell for her real estate portfolio, which is why I gave 4 stars.
As our population continues to age, the need for more and better options to care for seniors beyond what families can provide or what large institutions do with mediocrity, will touch most families. This book can give you insights for care, investing and MAKING A DIFFERENCE…📚

This is quite a handy book for improving the lives of senior aging population across the world while making a profit from it. How? Is that possible to make money while serving elderly population? Yes, Nelly Some has done it…her roots from Kenya and her life experiences with her grandma were enough to set examples for millions that reckon geriatrics unwanted.
This is a book on serving old-age people with business perspective. It is a useful book for investors, geriatrics and healthcare/nursing professionals. Well, the concept of Nelly is different than others. Instead of sending teams of professional to nursing homes where most of the aging population of the United States prevails, she rather builds affordable residential care homes so that these people can have the homely ambience and comfort, unlike a hospital.
As I keep flitting through the pages of the book, I was mesmerized to know her family roots and experience in nursing homes and real-estate. She clubbed both and finally emerged as a successful entrepreneur who is making the difference to the world. She is a great soul, I must say. In between she presented readers with amazing business concepts, her observation for setting up this business, and other insights that can help individuals taking care of their elderly ones.
The book is a product of the author’s years of care giving experience and real estate and interaction with countless doctors, counselors, senior folks and other caregivers. Evidently, the book covers a wide range of topics to meet the progressively complicated needs associated with caring for ageing loved ones.
Eventually, “Making a Difference by Nelly Some” changes our perspective towards aging population of the United States. It simplifies that even in serving others we can build an altruistic business for aging population in the long-term well being.

This was a Goodreads Giveaway book. I guess I thought it would be a little different than it was, but ultimately, I enjoyed reading the book, and I definitely learned a few things that I hadn't previously thought to think about for when the time comes did me to worry more about my parents. I am also inspired by how much she cares, and I find myself wondering how I can help and support the aging population going forward?
