What is “Continuing Care at Home”?

According to a recent report by the Pew Research Center, 90% of older adults currently live in their own home or apartment, and the majority would like to stay where they are and age in place in the years to come. 

An innovative, modern solution to aging at home is making that possible. Keep reading to learn about continuing care at home (CCAH) and how Friendship at Home provides the proactive health, wellness, and lifestyle support you need to effortlessly age right where you are. 

What Is Continuing Care At Home?

Continuing care at home, often abbreviated to CCAH, provides older adults with the guidance and support they need to age in place without moving. Typically connected to continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), these membership-model programs offer a range of services including wellness plans, home health assessments, and connections to local home care aids. 

At Friendship at Home, our innovative program pairs you with a dedicated personal health navigator who is your advocate, guide, and coordinator for all aspects of your healthcare. They work with you to create a custom plan that supports independent living at home, including coordinating and providing support for:

  • Medical appointments
  • Home care services
  • Insurance navigation
  • Transitions between providers
  • Home assessments
