Hosts: Louis Pierro with Special Guest, Al Cardillo, President and CEO of the Home Care Association of New York State
Being able to access home health care for yourself or family at critical times in your life is imperative. Home health is called upon daily for surgical recovery, rehab from injury or illness, management of complex conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart failure, COPD, post-partum maternal and neonatal care, and support for individuals to age comfortably at home with long-term care. When ordered, you and your doctors need the assurance that home health care is there for you!
Major developments are occurring federally, in NY and in the health care system, that stand to greatly impact these essential services. If you are concerned that these services are there for you when you need them, this episode of Life Happens is a must-listen!
Listen as host Lou Pierro welcomes Al Cardillo, President & CEO of the Home Care Association of New York State (HCANYS). They’ll dive into the latest efforts to ensure availability and affordability of home health care in New York, and the federal and state threats to your services that YOU need to know about! From securing essential funding for home health services, to tackling workforce shortages caused by Medicare cuts, you’ll hear about the challenges—and solutions—that affect your ability to access quality care when you need it most.
Topics include:
- Securing state funding for community-based home care, especially for high need conditions, preventive health measures, transitioning safely and effectively home for post-hospital care and recovery, long-term chronic care or disabilities support services, and new innovations like providing hospital level care in the home
- Addressing the shortage of well-trained, fairly paid home care nurses, therapists and workers
- Fighting federal Medicare cuts that reduce wages and impact care access
