Continuing From – Part 1

The Americare Companies as health care provider, provide long-term medical for people with chronic illness, seniors, and others. Because of the fact that a great number of these people prefer to stay at home (if possible), sometimes helped by friends, family members, or professionals, Americare Companies provide health care for their clients at the comfort of their own homes. In-home assistance from professionals from Americare Companies includes services as housekeeping, meal preparation, in-home nursing, visits from a physician etc. Americare Companies also provide adult day care programs that include assistance with daily activities to the people in need.

Furthermore, home care professionals, a nurse, therapist, or social workers often supervise the type of home care that people in need would receive if they move in with a family member or have a family member move in with them in order to provide them full-time health care.
Americare Companies also provides full-time care for RISD portfolio clients in Brooklyn, New York, in assisted living facilities and continuing care retirement communities that offer a environment that is residential. These facilities often provide town home apartments for patients in order to make them feel like they are home.

The full-time nursing home care represents the most intensive level of health care, or when the patients need to move into a nursing facility for 24-hour supervision. This type of home care is less expensive than comprehensive in-home care that can be more costly.

Changing Medicare Reimbursement under the Affordable Care Act

Millions Americans are expected to receive medical coverage sponsored by the government with the Affordable Care Act. In the years to come, major changes for care providers will reimburse Medicare services as the provisions of the ACA are taking effect. The changes may have severe consequences for health care suppliers who serve to Medicare populations. These changes include:

• A bonus for meeting certain benchmarks in Medicare services.
• An eventual 32% decrease in Medicare compensation rates.
