![]() In a bid to modernize and improve services, home care providers are increasingly considering collaboration with their competitors and adopting data-driven approaches. The potential benefits of collaborating with neighboring competitors include sharing knowledge, caregivers, and referral sources. This collaborative approach not only addresses caregiver shortages but also ensures timely and efficient care delivery, ultimately benefiting clients. Furthermore, industry leaders are recognizing the significance of data tracking and sharing. Collaboration in data sharing between agencies, payers, health systems, and other providers can enhance patient satisfaction and promote a seamless continuum of care. The aging U.S. population is expected to increase the demand for long-term services and supports (LTSS), much of which is currently provided by informal caregivers. However, for those requiring paid LTSS, most Americans rely on personal funds and then turn to Medicaid once their resources are depleted. This reliance on Medicaid for individuals with limited income and assets could increase federal and state spending on LTSS. To address this concern, a project was initiated to analyze the current cost of long-term care, national expenditures on LTSS, and future predictions regarding the availability of informal caregivers. The project explores how demographic changes will impact the supply of informal caregivers for older Americans. One of the project's primary goals is to provide updated estimates of national LTSS expenditures and projections that illustrate how changing demographics may affect the demand for LTSS, the availability of future caregivers, and Medicaid spending.
HCAOA has received member inquiries regarding CMS’ GUIDE initiative to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia. Home care organizations currently providing care to people with dementia have expressed an interest in participating in the CMS GUIDE Model, which will offer a standard approach to care, including 24/7 access to a support line, as well as caregiver training, education, and support services. This standard approach will allow people living with dementia to remain safely in their homes for longer by preventing or delaying nursing home placement and improving the quality of life for both people living with dementia and their unpaid caregivers.
