n4a Announces The John A. Hartford Foundation 2021 Business Innovation Award Winners
The National Association of Area Agencies on Aging’s (n4a) Aging and Disability Business Institute has announced that Hebrew SeniorLife, Inc. (HSL) has received The John A. Hartford Foundation 2021 Business Innovation Award.
HSL’s innovative Right Care, Right Place, Right Time: Effectively Integrating Senior Care and Housing (R3) program integrates housing and health care by embedding a nurse and a social worker in senior housing. The program helps meet the holistic needs of older adults by conducting routine assessments, providing care coordination and measuring outcomes, and has helped close the gap on key risk factors, reduce hospital visits and increase client engagement in maintaining their health. In partnership with the Commonwealth Care Alliance, a local managed care health plan, the program serves as a model for care that could shape the way housing and health care are paid for locally and nationally.
Runners up for this 2021 award are DayBreak Adult Care Centers in Oakland, CA, which was recognized for its Rapid Response Case Management program, and Area Agency on Aging and Disability of Southwest Washington in Vancouver, WA, which was recognized for its Community Paramedicine program.
