Partners

Seniorlink and Caregiver Homes™ work collaboratively with a wide variety of partners, including the following organizations.

States:  Seniorlink partners with states around their long-term services and supports strategy, and the potential implications for care coordination and medical cost and quality.  Seniorlink also partners to evaluate the potential for its service model, Caregiver Homes™, to serve frail elders and developmentally disabled individuals who currently reside in nursing home or are at-risk of nursing home placement.

Managed care plans:  Seniorlink works with all kinds of managed care organizations – PACE, Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans, and other at-risk organizations – to serve very frail elders.  Most managed care organizations have a core competency in managing the cost and quality of medical services and outcomes, but benefit from a partnership with Seniorlink around long-term services and supports which can strongly influence medical costs and outcomes.

Physicians:  More than 1,800 physicians to date have recommended the Caregiver Homes™ service model for their frail elderly clients. Seniorlink collaborates with physician organizations to provide data and insight from the home environment and support compliance with physician visits, medications, physical therapy, and other physician-directed medical care.

Area Agencies on Aging (AAA): Seniorlink works with AAAs, ASAPs, and other information and referral organizations to direct frail elders to services and to make the Caregiver Homes™ model available to appropriate individuals and their families.

Service providers: Service providers to the aging and disabled are sources of insight, referrals, and day-to-day partners for Seniorlink and Caregiver Homes™.  These include home health care agencies, visiting nurse services, hospice providers, and others.  Caregiver Homes™ supports the caregiver as the primary hands-on provider of assistance with ADLs and IADLs and care coordinator (e.g. doctors visits, medication compliance).  Specialized services and equipment may be necessary to enable the frail elder to remain safe and healthy at home and Seniorlink works with other providers to provide this support.

If your organization is interested in working more closely with us or in new ways, we welcome that discussion.  Contact your Seniorlink counterpart or Matt Lockwood Mullaney, VP Business Development, at 617-456-3758.
