Putting the HOME in home care. Our goal NOW is to Spread the Word So much is happening. I don’t have to tell you the legislative season has been a roller coaster. Or that some really good ideas about caregiving and care in the home received more attention than ever before. Or that some of the best ideas and hopes will be cut from the packages. For NOW. But next year will be better. HomesRenewed’s good ideas have gotten traction with both Republicans and Democrats this year. Congressional offices said, “Great idea! No bandwidth this session.” We are the only advocacy group focused on t…

I know you share my passion to serve older adults and help them age in place. The HomesRenewed Coalition is “Putting the Home in Home Care.” We are dedicated to significantly growing the home modifications market through public policy and legislation, and by connecting the wide-ranging business sectors that have shared interests. We are leveraging today’s fast-paced trend to provide more healthcare in the home, which requires that houses are prepared to meet the needs of older adults and their caregivers. With the growing number of Americans choosing to age in place, many businesses and …

Our previous blog post focused on housing as a solution to healthcare challenges. We touched on the stakeholders – insurance, long-term care stakeholders, policy leaders, health professionals, construction industry to name a few. Well it may go without saying but the actual consumers of these services, the aging population, should be invested if they aren’t already. Specifically at HomesRenewed, our target population for our policy proposal is homeowners. This blog post is from 2010, 11 years ago and we STILL need to talk about this issue: we KNOW most people prefer to live out their lives…

This week’s “Back to the Future” blog is from 2015 when Harvard Medical School’s Health Beats included “Housing” at the top of their list for preparing to age safely. Housing isn’t often associated with healthcare even in a pandemic when many people are opting to receive healthcare in the home or via telehealth. Yet housing, the structure where this care is taking place, is vital to successful health outcomes. Housing is a social determinant of health, and the home is the number one location for falls and acquired injuries that result in hospitalizations. With so many stakehold…

In just four years, telehealth has moved from the fringes to our living rooms. This blog post comes from 2017, not too long ago, but long enough that it is a disappointment that policies have not changed or been implemented to benefit our aging population. H.R. 1780, the Senior Accessible Housing Act, was introduced and subsequently died in the U.S. House of Representatives. We hope new policies will gather momentum, and we will see change on the federal level before another four years pass. The HomesRenewed Coalition hopes to be an agent of change for our aging population and is aggressively …
