Hospital at Home: Acute Care Reimagined

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and state health officials eased some regulatory restrictions to help healthcare organizations build their capacity, increase access to care, and reduce burdens on a strained workforce. These regulatory changes paved the way for a new program that provides acute-care services to patients in their homes. This session will present the story of Nascentia Health, a home care provider based in Syracuse, NY, which worked with a hospital partner to develop an Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCaH) program. Presenters will explain how the AHCaH program works and the steps necessary to create and execute the program. Learn how to weigh the benefits and risks of an AHCaH program, choose the right partners, and measure outcomes.

LPCs & CCaHs Working Together

Though the continuing care at home model began over 30 years ago, some of the challenges in expanding these programs have often stemmed from concern that it will dissuade seniors from moving into a life plan community. Three organizations, from an original program, an eight-year-old program and a program established in 2023, will share their experiences describing their expansion of the organization’s mission, market territory and revenue diversification. The panel will share various case studies supporting the symbiotic relationship of the program to the community as well as a discussion of the benefits and challenges of working together with the life plan communities, energizing the wait list, developing bridge programs, and integrating wellness programs with the communities.

Importance of Compassion in Journey of Aging

Aging is a journey. A person’s needs can change rapidly due to a major health event such as stroke or their change in needs can be much more gradual. Everyone’s journey is different and unique and there is no crystal ball to know how the journey will go. In this session, we discuss information from the book “Compassionomics” by Dr. Stepehen Trzeciak and Dr, Anthony Mazzarelli on the scientific evidence that caring makes a difference. We will then discuss what role CCaH programs can play in adding more compassion to the medical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of older adults.
