performing workplace, employees not only have talent, but they work well together and
collaborate on ideas and resolutions.
All companies strive to promote their strengths and what they believe sets them apart
from their competition. Addus promotes their people because of their belief that their
employees are the companys greatest strength. They are the basis for the companys success
and what is different from other home care companies. This is based upon the companys
mission statement, It is the primary mission of Addus HomeCare to improve the health and
well-being of our consumers through the provision of quality, cost-effective health care services.
We will accomplish our goals by fostering an environment in which our employees
enthusiastically support and advance our mission (Addus.com, 2014)
Another internal strength in the environment is the companys assets and liabilities.
According to "Addus Homecare Sec Filings" (2014),Addus has a total current unaudited asset
amount of $188,015; which includes $42, 024 in cash and accounts receivable, and other total
assets totaling $78,109.00. Addus also has a total unadjusted liability of $53,589; which includes
accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling $45,104 as well as long-term liabilities totaling
$8,485 (Quarterly Filings).
One of the most critical external business factors is competition. Competition in health
care markets benefits consumers because it helps contain costs, improve quality, and encourage
innovation. Many companies do competitive analysis to compare their offerings and prices to
those of competitors. Socio-economic factors relate to the values, attitudes and concerns of your
target customers and their economic abilities to afford your products. Gentiva Health Services,
Inc. is a large competitor for Addus HomeCare. This is mainly due to the breadth of services that
Gentiva can offer, such as skilled care nursing, cardiac and pulmonary care, disease and pain
management, medication management and education, and hospice services (Gentiva.com,
2015). These are more comprehensive medical services than those that Addus offers; however,
the services for Gentiva tend to be far more than those of Addus.
