People are living longer but not necessarily healthier. The advances in medical technology and therapy enable people with multiple health problems to live long lives. Many diseases, such as a heart attack, that used to be an acute event leading to death are now chronic health conditions. The prevalence of multiple chronic conditions causes a noticeable reduction in the ability to self-manage or perform everyday tasks, dramatically affecting a person’s quality of life. Families are left to cope with a relative’s growing dependency in the midst of their own busy lives, which leads to emotional and physical stress for the whole family. This situation results in an increased need for professional care to manage care at home.

Statistics show that 40% of Medicare beneficiaries have three or more medical conditions simultaneously, while 20% have five or more conditions, which accounts for over two-thirds of all Medicare’s spending. Many people need, and prefer, clinical support beyond the limited traditional home care Medicare provides. SeniorBridge’s comprehensive approach, using an Integrated Practice Model, ensures that individuals receive appropriate, coordinated care and family support.
