Aging in place: Improving outcomes with coordinated care
Within this decade, 20% of Americans will be age 65 or older. Many cope with complex health needs and receive their primary health coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or a dual-eligible plan. They often prefer to stay in their own homes, where they feel most at ease.
Providing coordinated care in these familiar settings can significantly enhance their satisfaction and overall health outcomes. Home & Community can help as we:
- Work in all 50 states
- Support more than 12 million members
- Connect more than 10,000 health care professionals across the U.S.
