Caregiver Homes of Indiana Announces Care Management Pilot with Area Agency on Aging CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions
Caregiver Homes, Seniorlink’s intensive home-based care management program, today announced a pilot with CICOA, Indiana’s largest Area Agency on Aging, focused on care team integration using its secure collaboration app, Vela.
Caregiver Homes, a leading provider of Structured Family Caregiving in Indiana, uses Vela to connect its care teams, members and family caregivers to manage care more effectively. As part of this pilot, CICOA’s waiver care managers will now have access to Vela — increasing the overall engagement and reducing barriers to contact between members and care managers. Vela offers a view beyond a member’s physical and mental health; it offers insights into social determinants of health, which can significantly influence care management.
“‘Family takes care of family,’” says Jennifer Trowbridge, Senior Director of Operations, Caregiver Homes of Indiana. “This is a shared sentiment of the Hoosier families we have been privileged to serve since 2013. Vela as a platform has allowed us to stay connected with these families, and now increase our connectivity with, and support of, waiver care managers.”
The pilot began on July 27 and will run for six months. The goal of the pilot program is to improve outcomes through increased collaboration for the 52 families enrolled. Improved outcomes might include reduction of incidents, falls and hospitalizations.
“CICOA remains committed to supporting families caring for a loved one with a chronic condition or disability,” said Connie Betourne, Director of Flourish Care Management at CICOA. “This collaboration with Caregiver Homes allows us to continue to serve our most vulnerable consumers at home and increase engagement with them and their Caregiver Homes care team members.”
