Home Health Care News Feature – How The Home-Focused Careforth Reduces ED Visits, Falls Through Family Caregiver Support
We’re incredibly honored to not only support family caregivers, but also ensure loved ones receiving care are healthy and able to stay at home longer!
Last week, Home Health Care News published an article shedding light on the importance of Careforth’s Structured Family Caregiving program in improving health outcomes and reducing health care costs. We’re proud to be at the forefront of this important work.
“From helping caregivers navigate the health care system, to providing them the tools they need to advocate for themselves and the person they care for, to coordinating referrals for necessities like lift beds or ramps, our wraparound support makes it more possible for care to happen safely at home,” Katie Tardiff, Careforth’s SVP of clinical programs and services, told Home Health Care News in an email. “We empower caregivers and provide the tools they need to ensure their loved one’s safety, reduce ED visits and remain in their homes and community – where they most want to be.”
