At Home Care is Here

By on Apr 13, 2020 in News

The vast majority of older adults in America want to remain in their current residence as they age, a recent AARP report shows. Despite the safer accommodations and social benefits of senior living communities, nearly 80 percent of people age 50 and over prefer to stay put.

These numbers are nothing new. It’s been widely recognized by the aging industry at large that most seniors desire to age in place, and government regulations and reimbursements have increasingly supported in-home services for those who do. Buoyed by these trends, the home care industry is now one of the fastest-growing trades in the country.

For senior living providers, home care offers an attractive yet challenging opportunity. There’s clearly demand for extra services, but how do you ensure the same level of care outside your community as you do within? Without clear oversight, providers leave themselves open to risk and lost revenue.

Introducing Yardi At Home Care

Yardi is making it easier for senior living providers to offer non-medical in-home services. With At Home Care, your remote staff spend less time filling paperwork and more time supporting clients, while you get real-time visibility of every service provided. Wherever someone chooses to stay, you can be there for them.

At Home Care is powered by the same trusted, cloud-based technology that runs the Yardi Senior Living Suite. Built-in safeguards make sure staff follow HIPAA recommendations, enhancing compliance and protecting your clients’ privacy. And seamless integration with Yardi Voyager’s accounting platform simplifies billing — so you can quickly turn home care into another service for your business.

“Yardi At Home Care further extends our single connected solution across the continuum of care,” said Ray Elliott, vice president of senior living at Yardi. “It closes a service gap. Senior living providers can now easily manage care to both their community residents and their at-home clients from one integrated system.”

Here’s just a few of the core features that At Home Care offers:

  • Electronic care plans: Replace paper-based processes and ensure that caregivers provide the right services to the right client with always-up-to-date care plans.
