The number of adults over age 65 is estimated to increase by 3.2% each year.
Are you ready to serve the needs of this growing population?
The Optum care model and the UnitedHealthcare Assisted Living Plan may be able to help.
This smart solution is designed to care for your residents
who require an institutional level of care.
Here’s how it works.
When your residents become members,
they receive health care benefits and highly coordinated care.
The benefits go well beyond standard Medicare.
Members get 24/7 telephonic support as well as benefits for dental, vision,
hearing aids and even transportation.
Coordinated care is delivered through an advanced practice clinician, or APC.
The APC works with your staff, residents and the broader care team.
With the member’s permission, the APC also reaches out to the resident’s family,
operating as a single point of contact between all care providers and family members,
ensuring clear, frequent communication.
Without this level of coordination, potential gaps in care may arise,
and there’s a risk of not getting truly coordinated care.
For example, let’s say a resident at your community develops an infection.
They are taken to a hospital for care, but there’s no APC serving as a link
between the hospital staff and your staff.
Without an APC communicating with the hospital staff,
they’re not aware of the resident’s chronic conditions, medications or advanced care plan.
In addition, the APC can help communicate details about the resident’s return and care required.
Assisted living communities that have partnered with us are seeing the model’s value.
They’ve extended resident length of stay for eight months longer than the national average
and reduced hospital readmissions by 38%.
