AI & CCaH- Practical Info

Learn how AI can simplify data creation and deliver person-centered data for enhanced quality of life for members of CCaH programs.

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.

Actuaries, Risk Assessment, & Removing Barriers to Understanding CCaH Model

Continuing Care Actuaries has assisted in the development of two of the first four CCaH programs and currently works with approximately 80% of the existing operational programs. Learn how the CCaH model works to better understand how it can provide an alternative to the traditional CCRC/Life plan model.

Serving the LGBTQ+ Population

Prepare your CCaH program with the tools needed to reach the untapped LGBTQ+ demographic. The premiere organization for LGBTQ+ seniors, SAGE, will provide the necessary educational training for CCaH staff, prospects, members, and care givers to assure inclusivity and belonging for your organization.

Leveraging Medicare Advantage Insights for CCaH Wellness and Marketing

This presentation aims to empower CCaH operators by providing them with the necessary skills to effectively utilize Medicare Advantage information. By harnessing this data, operators can proactively address and overcome common marketing objections, aligning their strategies more closely with the evolving needs of their members. Additionally, the session will guide participants in integrating these insights into their program’s wellness objectives, fostering more robust health outcomes and positioning the program for future partnership opportunities.

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.

Enhancing Member Benefits through Concierge Services

This session explores how personalized concierge services can elevate the value of aging-in-place programs by offering members a tailored experience to meet their non-medical needs.

Discover how embracing these technologies can lead to a life of enriched autonomy and meaningful interactions with the community.

State Oversight & Governance

Each state oversees and regulates CCaH programs differently. There are some states that do not have regulatory guidance established. Learn about the differences in state oversight and how you can work with state LeadingAge associations and local leaders to advocate for proper regulatory oversight so that you can successfully launch and operate a program.

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.

Member Stories / Member Panel

To age in your home independently, planning is essential. Your plan should include how and where you want to grow older.
