October 8, 10:20 – 11:25am
Supported Life Conference Session
Robert Torgusen, AngelSense
Laura Mitchell, GrandCare Systems
Many clients want greater independence, connection and privacy without constant in-person supervision. Agencies continue navigate workforce shortages and have more referrals than they can serve. This session will explore how a hybrid model of direct care paired with person-centered technologies can empower agencies to serve more clients, while individuals can build skills and live more independently without sacrificing safety. Attendees will learn how proactive technologies, discrete sensors, and wearables can shift support models from constant oversight to meaningful coaching and responsive care only when support is truly needed. And the best part: more clients can be served while everyone saves money!
Objectives:
- Explore various proactive, preventative and crisis management technologies reimbursable in the state of CA.
- Learn how providers are rising above staffing challenges with technology to serve more clients without increasing staff.
- Hear real life examples of improved outcomes, case studies and proven ROI.
