Learning Something When Need Requires It
Many of corecubed’s clients provide services that we call “at-need services”. These are services (sometimes products) that the general public does not usually know or think about, consider or retain knowledge about until they have a specific need that arises and that requires a solution. A prime example of this is home health care—a service that individuals often do not pay attention to until someone in their life (a family or friend) becomes frail, has an accident or is hospitalized. A generalization about home care is that:
- When the need arises, it is often immediate and must be fulfilled right away.
- When the need is immediate, someone is more likely to others for guidance and advice and, most usually, follow their suggestion.
- OR they will go to the Internet and seek a solution.
