New Dementia Care Program Offers Expanded Resources to ACO Patients and Their Families
Remo Health, a virtual dementia care provider, and the Cleveland Clinic Medicare Accountable Care Organization (ACO), a value-based care entity focused on improving the quality of care for Medicare patients while lowering costs, are announcing a pilot initiative to deliver comprehensive support to eligible patients living with dementia and their caregivers.
The Cleveland Clinic ACO is committed to helping its patients age independently in their homes for as long as possible. This collaboration with Remo Health supports these efforts and is designed to address the growing needs of Ohioans living with the disease. This collaboration delivers robust resources and personalized care, especially crucial for rural families who often drive hours to appointments and working caregivers. As an added benefit, Cleveland Clinic ACO patients in Ohio will now have access to a nationwide peer support network of 20,000 families, connecting them with others navigating a similar journey.
“As dementia becomes increasingly prevalent, it will place significant pressure on our health care system to meet the complex and continuous needs of patients and their caregivers,” said Jessica Hohman, M.D., president of Cleveland Clinic ACO.
“We’re excited to embark on this collaboration to deliver wraparound care and support that extends beyond the clinical setting and into the home. It’s important we continue to search for innovative solutions to help guide patients and families through every stage of the 24/7 dementia journey.”
Nearly a quarter million Ohioans are living with dementia and more than 450,000 are serving as unpaid, round-the-clock, caregivers — a role that is often isolating and overwhelming. Two-thirds of these caregivers are struggling with chronic health conditions themselves, often associated with the daily demands and stress of care.
"Families caring for a loved one with dementia deserve 24/7 access to personalized care — no matter where they live,” said Will Poe, M.D., CEO and co-founder of Remo Health. “Remo Health and Cleveland Clinic ACO have a shared mission to bring caregivers the tools, resources, and support they need to manage the day-to-day challenges they face. This is what the future of dementia care should look like – truly compassionate and comprehensively supporting both the patient and their caregiver.”
