A vital resource for aging adults and their family caregivers
Medicare covers home health services for many homebound adults, even if their condition isn’t expected to improve1. RubyWell identifies older adults who are likely to qualify for this benefit. Then we help them access the covered care. So family caregivers can share their care responsibilities with a certified professional, at no cost.
More care. Less stress.
Here’s what families often experience when their aging loved one receives home health care:
- Relief from constant caregiving and decision-making
- Fewer unplanned hospital trips or ER visits
- Peace of mind that you're not doing this alone
- Fewer out-of-pocket healthcare costs
- Improved health outcomes
- Ability to live at home home longer
RubyWell is building a pilot program that will help families afford to care
Here’s how it will work:
Eligibility
Our technology will predict if the person receiving care qualifies for the Medicare home health benefit. Great news—there are no income or asset limits.
Payment
We'll help the family caregiver get the training and certification they need to become a certified, paid home health aide.
Support
We'll connect the family with a partner home health agency that may hire the family caregiver to provide medically necessary home health services.
