Service
philosophy of Future Associates.
Future Associates’ philosophy grows from the recognition that
the
system of delivering human services is very complex. Indeed,
Future’s staff spends many hours in training to learn how to
effectively negotiate services from the system, although
Future’s
approach goes one step further. Realizing that the
circumstances
faced by needy persons causes them to seek services many times in their
lives, Future’s service approach educates the client to
effectively deal with publicly supported service systems.
Today,
many of Future’s clients are able to manage their own
personal
affairs by successfully interacting with the numerous public and
private bureaucracies common to American society.
Future’s ability to act quickly is the result of its
extensive
contacts with human service and business organizations. In order to
properly use such a network, Future had trained its staff and client to
appreciate individuality in bringing competing forces together. Thus,
Future’s approach stresses the need to identify common
interests
in order to help competing forces see a way to achieve mutual
benefits. In its services, Future has used this approach to
link
clients into the appropriate units of government in order to ensure
that the client receives every benefit to which he/she is
entitled. Future has also used this approach in coordinating
various business factions by identifying areas in which shared efforts
result in greater productivity and economy. Using its
contacts in
both human services and business sectors, Future provides many clients
and outside organizations with the proper channel to locate jobs and/or
bring capital improvement needs to the appropriate financiers. Future
Associates has succeeded in gaining the trust of professionals in both
of these sectors, a feat accomplished by few other organizations.
Through its experience, Future Associates has diversified into other
areas. Its involvement is now broadened into management of
real
estate as well as other entrepreneurial ventures such as hotel
development. In the mid 1980s through the early
1990’s,
Future Associate was involved in the ownership, renovation and
management of a hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. In the early
1990’s, after the success of the Florida hotel, Future
developed
a 5 star hotel in Jerusalem, Israel. It has also developed and is
currently involved with AIG insurance and its subsidiaries in providing
secondary mortgage insurance abroad.
In
the mid 1980’s, natural gas was deregulated and Future
Associates
ventured into the natural gas industry by envisioning Multiut
Corporation. Multiut became the only full-service marketer of
natural gas in the Chicago metropolitan area. Multiut is a
full-service energy provider that couples decades of purchasing and
delivery experience with strong service ethics. Multiut’s
clients
include health care facilities, restaurants, foundries, office
complexes, apartment buildings and other business properties.. Having a
base of its own businesses to service was again a successful use of its
resources. In addition, Multiut has been a leader in
electrical
audits and cost management, and is currently also providing direct
electric power related services. Multiut’s
reputation among
its clients and their associates is the reason for its continued
success. In fact, its growth has been due more to word of mouth than to
direct marketing efforts. Multiut’s record as a full-service
provider that responds promptly to client concerns and needs, gives it
a unique edge in introducing any new energy-related cost cutting
products or services.
Future is currently involved in the operation of a few nursing
facilities in the Chicagoland area. The Peterson Park facility, located
in Chicago’s north side, offers a comprehensive
rehabilitation
program with physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapy
services for residents who have been affected with a debilitating
illness, injury, operation or chronic condition. Another facility is
located in the Joliet area of Illinois and its quality specialized care
services include: post-hospitalization care, restorative nursing,
hospice care, and complete In-House IV therapy. Additionally, a
facility located in the Burnham, Illinois area specializes in providing
care for the M.I. population.
In
summary, Future Associates encompasses its involvement in various
facets of the senior housing, healthcare and related services. These
include laboratory services, mobile scan units, the development of
assisted living license for the elderly, the management of a company
providing various services in the energy and utility industry, the
management of real estate properties and the development of many
business opportunities. |
