• The potential crises posed to the organization are health care events which might be life threatening for the clients and the organizational staff as well. Hence, there should be adequate planning for such events, which might damage the reputation of the organization, incase of, God forbid, death or injury of clients or the staff. Inadequate funds or bankruptcy is another crisis, which the organization might face
• In addition, the organization might be posed with the crisis of provision of inadequate services to the clients. Hence, other people might be reluctant to enroll in the institution due to such events. Satisfaction of the needs of the clientele might be a difficult task because the needs vary form one age segment to another; hence, it is vital to have an understanding of the needs of each age bracket of the individuals enrolled in the institution.
