The Changing Insurance Landscape

“Rarely do we have an opportunity to align the desires of patients, payers, and providers. In the instance of providing care for older adults in the home, we are afforded this opportunity. Nearly 90% of our loved ones want to “age in place” and live at home as long as possible. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, living at home later in life yields cost savings not only for families, but also for government and health systems. Aging in place also provides the benefits of improved physical and emotional health.”

[Excerpt from "A look at the caregiving economy and matching demand with supply" by Amanda Cavaleri, an entrepreneur in gerontechnology | March 28, 2016 | MedCity News]
