This Older Americans Month, we’re celebrating older adults who “flip the script” and defy the stereotypes of aging. Assistenza Healthcare Management helps make that possible through the return of the old-fashioned house call, reimagined for today’s world through ALC Primary Care. With leading-edge technology and personalized care, you can prioritize health without leaving the safety and comfort of home. Whether you manage a senior living community seeking trusted partners or you’re a patient or family member exploring care options, ALC Primary Care empowers vibrant aging for older adults, helping them create their very own best version of what aging means today.
Meet One Real Life Older Adult who “Flipped the Script”
Masako Wakamiya launched a mobile app called Hinadan at age 81 in 2017, becoming one of the world’s oldest app developers. A retired bank clerk from Japan, she taught herself coding to create a game celebrating Hinamatsuri, a traditional doll festival, after noticing a lack of apps for older adults. Wakamiya also became an advocate for digital literacy among seniors, speaking at the United Nations and inspiring others to embrace technology later in life. Her work shows how older adults can dive into tech and make a global impact.
Just as older adults can make an impact through technology, technology has played a major role in the return of the house call. Mobile health technology makes this possible: portable X-rays, EKGs, ultrasounds, and even advanced wound care, once confined to hospitals, are now available at home. This proactive approach reduces hospital visits, enhances wellness, and supports independence. ALC Primary Care brings highly skilled providers to your doorstep, delivering everything from routine check-ups to chronic condition management for diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. Unlike traditional office visits, our care happens where you feel most secure, your home or community. The house call, or home-based primary care, is back, and it’s better than ever.
Research underscores the value of home-based primary care. Studies show it boosts patient satisfaction by 83% compared to traditional settings, as you receive care tailored to your needs (Journal of American Geriatrics Society, 2023). It also improves medical outcomes, with a 20% reduction in hospital readmissions for chronic conditions like COPD or heart failure (CMS, 2024). Plus, it cuts costs. Home-based care can save up to 30% compared to facility-based care by preventing emergency visits and optimizing treatment plans (Health Affairs, 2022). These benefits make ALC Primary Care a game-changer for older adults and their care partners.
