Subject: Proposal Research on Maine State Aging population
Attached is my proposal of implementing a research on the factor’s affection workers at
Maine Nursing center. The institution has been providing low quality services, receiving
summon from the government, due to employment of less qualified personnel. To rectify the
situation within the organization, I propose the institution should employ more workers, which
will also pave way for solving problems such as tiredness, overworking and overloading. The
workers will be sufficient to attend to the vulnerable group, made up of aged people, who are
easily affected with chronic diseases such as seasonal flu and COVID-19.
During the time of research, the problems faced by healthcare providers at Maine Nursing
center will be made transparent, calling for the required recommendations. After reviewing my
proposal, I will discuss the next steps required.
I will check up for your response after a period of two three weeks with confidence that
my proposal will please you. In case of any clarification, I can be reached through via email.
Thank you in advance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposal addresses the challenge facing Maine Nursing center. With the current
global health situation, people with old age are highly at risk as they are easily affected by
chronic diseases such as seasonal flu and COVID-19. With the emergence of the most infectious
diseases, Covid-19, the health workers are highly recommended to protect themselves while
dealing with patients. To highly deal with these chronic diseases, Maine Nursing center should
be having enough staff. But the major challenge facing the center is insufficient staffing, where
the institution has a less experienced worker, yet the spread of the various is continuing daily.
This makes the existing workers be at risk and does not offer sufficient services to the patients,
who should be cared for at home. The research will help in identifying the problems and coming
up with possible solutions, thus improving the general health of the old people at risk of affected
with chronic disease and should be provided with home care services. The health professions
will also be highlighted on the mechanism of dealing with patients having COVID-19 to reduce
the rate of re-infection. The organization will no longer experience the challenge of less staffing
making the existing workers to be overloaded and overworked, as the proposal will act as an
enlightenment for the government to help in employing more workers within Maine Nursing
Center. In the document, I propose to support this program as I believe the health of those people
at critical ages is important and can only be realized when health institutions such as Maine have
enough and experienced workers. Increasing the numbers of staff members will be the best in
dealing with current global COVID-19 and seasonal flu chronic diseases.
INTRODUCTION
Maine Health Center should highly invest in employing more qualified and experienced
health workers, who are aware of the current challenging pandemics globally. They should be
able to deal with people who are aged in their homes. The current situation in the world,
especially in Maine, needs change to protect the lives of the people who are vulnerable to these
pandemics. Currently, the organization is facing insufficient staffing which is detrimental to the
health of the workers since they experience stress due to overworking. Besides, the professionals
within the organization lack enough time required to provide the needed care to families and
patients (Farokhzadian, Nayeri & Borhani, 2018). The issue of insufficient staffing has led to
long working hours as they do not have people to do replacement during a specific time. Due to
work overload, health professionals experience fatigue making it easy for them to get infected
while dealing with patients who have COVID-19. Increasing the number of infections rather than
reducing it. Moreover, the workers at the hospital are experiencing workplace hazards such as
exposure to injuries and pathogens. To add, the workers lack enough training required to provide
homecare services to patients. Finally, the patients are experiencing bullying and harassment at
health institutions. Such challenges should be addressed for the healthcare workers within the
hospital of Maine to provide quality healthcare to the patients and live by the ethics of their
5
professionalism. Solving these challenges will help employees to be more productive while
delivering their services to patients and families. Therefore, the proposal will help in reducing
the challenges experienced by the workers at Maine Nursing Center, through streamlining the
employment of other experienced healthcare providers, reducing most of the challenges
experienced.
BACKGROUND
Maine Nursing Centre was constructed in 1960 to provide quality healthcare to the
patients (Rogers, 2016). Maine Nursing center has been considered a principal nursing site of
choice form many years since it was formed. The hospital has been working to improve the
healthcare of the people around Maine state. Maine Nursing Center has been relying on Maine
Care for most of the funding causing a challenge of finance to support the programs of the
institution. The institution has about 200 employees providing healthcare to people above 65
years. The healthcare institution has been ranked by the American Healthcare analysis as the top
100 best healthcare institutions in the US helping the elderly to receive from their illness. It has
been dealing with vulnerable patients who are aged. Maine Nursing Center has been helping the
seniors to care for their home as they age but provide the required healthcare services, an option
preferred by most aged patients. Therefore, it has been well known for short term skilled nursing
services recovering from most of the illnesses they undergo.
Maine Nursing Center covers both home and inpatient health care services when a senior
is need pf medical services. The Affordable Care Act has been providing opportunities for the
patients using Maine Nursing Center to pay for both home and community-based services to
reduce the section of non-institutions older adults who need long term support and services. This
has been helping the aged to get the required care and services from the organization without any
challenge.
The institution has also been providing an opportunity for licensed social workers of
assessing home care needs and ensuring the plans meet the needs of the patents. The nurses have
been providing the required healthcare to ensure health is achieved in times of illness. Social
workers within Maine Nursing center have been seeking to empower the patients and their
families to find the best method of healing as they stay in their homes through offering connected
resources, help through planned needs achieving positive emotional health.
According to the information provided by a spokesman on behalf of Maine Nursing
Association, the nursing home has been strong providing required healthcare to the people and
return the patients to their homecare-based services. The major problem that initially affected
Maine Nursing Center was nurse’s turnover, due to a smaller number of workers who existed in
the institution. The role of the casing managers on aging issues has been private, showing that
the healthcare provided quality services only where partnership existed within the organization.
In recent years, the institution has been flagged by the government of the United States
for having quality issues for the patients. Based on the research conducted, the quality issues
were related to the number of employees within the organization. There are insufficient nurses
and could not respond to the increasing number of patients, who should be attended to. The
6
current globe pandemic, COVID-19, has also been reported to have affected residents or staff
who have been affected by the virus, putting most of the patients, who are old age, at risk.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For the health center to succeed in dealing with COVID-19 and seasonal flu, chronic
diseases affected the elderly people and whole society across the globe, the management needs to
come up with mechanisms helping to rectify the current situation. As highlighted, the major
challenge experienced in Maine nursing centers is the lack of sufficient workers, which can
provide the exact and quality healthcare needed for the success of the community. Therefore, I
would recommend the organization to do the following: First, the management of Maine Nursing
center should add the number of employees on their list. The current global pandemic COVID19 is affecting people. The disease requires more attention and if necessary, the ration of the
patient to healthcare providers should be 2:1. When the management will increase the numbers
of healthcare workers, the overload and overworking subjected to the current health care
providers within the nursing center will reduce. They will not feel fatigued.
Secondly, for the workers to provide quality services, they should be motivated. A
motivated worker will feel comfortable and value within society. Motivation can be in the form
of increasing their incomes, providing a conducive working environment and giving the worker
relief (Gugliucci & Weaver, 2016). This will make the healthcare providers within the
organization sacrifice the sake of the patients providing the required level of health.
Besides, the organization should encourage employee training. The current pandemic,
COVID-19, requires specialized and experienced healthcare providers. If healthcare does not
have the required skills in handling the pandemic, they will eventually be infected. Instead of
reducing the number of infections, we shall be increasing the number and death rates will also
increase. This even happened recently in Maine State, when the healthcare provider was affected
with COVID-19.
Furthermore, the nursing center should come up with training programs for the patients.
This will help in reducing the bullying that can be realized from the patients when they come to
receive healthcare. Finally, the Maine Nursing Centre should come up with policies and
regulations controlling the behaviors and conduct of all employees. The issues like harassment
form fellow workers and reporting to work late hours will be reduced. I, therefore, find these
recommendations essential for reducing the challenges experienced within Maine Nursing center
when implemented by the management.
In the training part of the patients on how to deal with healthcare providers, I will
volunteer to participate genuinely. I will work with the management to provide the required
materials for the training of the patents and staff members, to improve the quality of the
healthcare provided such as the information needed. I will suggest different departments to roll
out their programs in time to help in avoiding any challenge. Based on the employment of the
employees, I will play a critical role in explaining the importance of having sufficient and
experienced workers in the health center, to make the management buy the idea.

BENEFITS
The employment of sufficient and experienced workers is critical to Maine Nursing
Center. The organization is facing stiff competition from other hospitals within Maine State and
the country as a whole. To ensure the constant receiving of consumers, Maine Nursing Center
needs to provide quality services meeting the needs of the patients. If this is not considered, the
health center will not be receiving enough customers as per the standard of the American
Nursing Association. When research is done on the challenges affecting Maine Nursing center
and presented, the organization will be able to have an outlook and in the look of its
management. This will be used to improve the services provided to patients. The employment of
many qualified health workers will help in serving the patients within the stipulated time, and
responding immediately to the COVID-19 pandemic, which kills easily the aged group. If
sufficient employees are employed, there will be a division of labor and specialization within the
hospital, reusing any unnecessary confusion which can be realized during the treatment of the
patients. Furthermore, when the institution employs’ sufficient workers, they will be able to work
in a motivated manner, providing quality services to patients. The best method of training both
the workers and patients will be online training due to the current pandemic not allowing social
gatherings. Moreover, online training of the health workers and patients also cuts the cost short.
The amount that would have been spent on traveling is used for buying other necessities required
in the hospital for the training of the patients. To add, when quality healthcare services are
provided within the Maine Nursing center, they will be at the purr with other organizations
providing the same services (Hillestad & Berkowitz, 2018). Health services in Maine is a very
competitive sector. Institutions providing the services should provide quality services to keep
them in the competitive market. Thus, Maine will be able to survive in such a competitive
environment.
Concerning the proposal, it will be a call to eliminate the challenges facing workers and
the community within Maine State. The proposal with help in reducing the challenge of the
shortage of workers, bullying is undergone by both patients and workers, lack of motivation and
overworking and overloading. Moreover, the proposal highlights the current global diseases,
COVID-19, which has killed millions of people. Therefore, awareness will be carted on how to
deal with the diseases, thus protecting the health workers from being affected by the virus.
Patients will also be taught on how to deal with the various preventing its widespread. Therefore,
if my proposal is approved, it will help in changing the current outlook of the problems facing
workers at Maine Nursing Center and how to reduce the re-infection of COVID-19 to the
healthcare workers. The proposal will also be a call to the government to support healthcare
institutions in providing quality healthcare services to the patients through employing qualified
professions and creating awareness on the role of government in healthcare.
If the proposal is not approved, the challenges affecting Maine Nursing Center will not
have been addressed and the right measures are taken. The patients will continue to suffer as the
workers suffer more. The elderly people who are vulnerable to chronic diseases which currently
are leading the diseases in Maine State will be at risk of losing their lives. Therefore, the
proposal is of benefit and its approval will health in changing the current health situation in
Maine State and Maine Nursing Center.

CONCLUSION
For health institutions to be successful, the welfare of the health workers should be
considered as they are responsible for the branding of the institution. Due to the current
pandemic affecting the Maine Nursing center, the staffing should be upgraded. The incoming
member should be qualified and trained to deal with pandemic like COVID-19 and seasonal flu,
most common diseases within Maine State (Jan, Kaur & Para, 2017). The institution should
come up with investment methods on employees, for success in the competitive healthcare sector
through the provision of quality healthcare services to the patients. If the number of the staff is
not increased, the number of patients will overwhelm the existing professionals, risking the lives
of patients in Maine State. For the institution to remain competing and retaining both employees
and customers, the workers should be trained, looking into their health and giving them
motivations to offer quality services to the patients. The online training of both patients and
workers, on how to deal with one another, and exiting calamities of chronic disease is the most
effective as it saves on the transportation cost. Therefore, the institution should come up with a
system having all the names of the patients and workers, where training can be streamlined too.
This eventually will help in reducing the challenges facing workers and discouraging them from
providing quality healthcare services. Moreover, training will also enhance a positive
environment of working. Once all the challenges affecting the workers within the Maine Nursing
