Duh!!!!
https://goo.gl/ygzZsLSeniors who want to age in place are often faced with numerous challenges just getting around their own homes, which is why one senior care program from Johns Hopkins is focusing on improving the home environment—and saving Medicare big bucks in return.
The program, dubbed Capable (Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders), combines three key elements of senior care services: nursing care, occupational therapy and home improvement. For every $3,000 cost per person, the program saves Medicare more than $10,000, according to recent results published in Health Affairs.
One of the most surprising aspects of the program has been its ability to show big savings from relatively minor investments, such as better lighting at home, that can help keep seniors out of outpatient and hospital settings.
