Live @ HCAOA—20-minute conversation with Clayton Foutch, CEO of Home Matters CaregivingClayton Foutch on LinkedInHome Matters CaregivingHome Matters started as a family business in 2007, franchised in 2020, and now has 39 locations nationwide.Built on a nurse-guided, innovation-focused model shaped by Clayton’s engineering background.Traditional care mainly serves the top 5% who can afford $10–30K/month, leaving a huge access and labor gap.The team has reviewed ~40 emerging technologies and formally tested several to close these gaps.Passive tech matters most—anything clients must wear, charge, or interact with quickly fails.Sensi leads in audio-based passive monitoring, but roughly 25% of clients still resist it.Operators must shift from reactive to proactive care models using tech to prevent incidents.Agencies can partner with discharge planners by offering tech-forward solutions for families who can’t afford full-time care, proving value through metrics like readmissions.Sponsors:Baba (callbaba.com): AI phone-based co-pilot for seniors to prevent loneliness, create support, and connect them with professionals Paradigm (paradigmseniors.com): Credentialing, billing automation, and revenue cycle management for VA and Medicaid paymentsHomeSight (vantiva.com/homesight): TV-based wellness hub for blended care—video visits, health monitoring, and daily reminders for the family and care team

#38 Most home care agencies talk about “differentiation,” but the Supported Living Group in Connecticut is actually doing it. In this episode, Executive Director Jamie Arber breaks down how his team built a high-acuity, high-retention brain-injury program anchored by Medicaid waivers (ABI), brick-and-mortar program sites, creative arts and vocational services, and an in-house clinical team. He explains the financial model (including $60K–$350K waiver budgets), how programs extend client lifetime value, and why specialization protects margins. Jamie also shares what Medicaid waiver work really requires—operational sophistication, rapid responsiveness, the ability to bolt on profitable private-pay and workers’ comp layers and more.  Sponsors:Acrisure / midwest.acrisure.com/home-careSmartAutomations.Care 
Live at HCAOA—15 minute conversation with Jenny Cambra, CEO of Senior Helpers HonoluluHighlights:Jenny’s hospitality background and personal family experience with dementia care led her into home care.She sees strong overlap between hospitality and home care—both people-centered service industries.She went to nursing school to better understand and support her caregivers.Early growth came quickly: a referral on day two and she hired 12 caregivers ahead of demand.Her philosophy: don’t overthink it—listen to what families say they need.Hawaii’s high cost of care requires transparency; she openly explains why they aren’t the cheapest.Their pricing reflects strong caregiver investment: fair wages, 401(k), recognition, training, and a real career path.They emphasize that the agency carries the liability—something families often don’t see.Goal: keep clients safe at home with the right tools, hours, and support.They now recommend an 8-hour/week minimum and do 90-day reassessments to track changes in condition.Close collaboration with DME companies helps maintain safety in the home.Aiming for CHAP certification in 2026 to validate their patient-centered standards.jcambra@seniorhelpers.com Sponsors:Baba (callbaba.com): AI phone-based co-pilot for seniors to prevent loneliness, create support, and connect them with professionals Paradigm (paradigmseniors.com): Credentialing, billing automation, and revenue cycle management for VA and Medicaid paymentsHomeSight (vantiva.com/homesight): TV-based wellness hub for blended care—video visits, health monitoring, and daily reminders for the family and care team
Live at HCAOA—45 minute conversation with Carmen Perry, the VP of Provider Engagement @ ParadigmHighlights:Carmen started in skilled nursing, where she saw how many seniors wanted to stay home but couldn’t afford care—driving her to learn funding options like Aid & Attendance.Veterans often distrust the VA due to past inconsistencies; bringing in TriWest and Optum improved operations and triggered an influx of providers.Many markets are now oversaturated, but veterans still have choice—agencies can find and enroll veterans directly, even in “closed” states like CA and TX where rural gaps still exist.Biggest myth: getting credentialed brings instant referrals. Reality: you earn growth through excellent care and strong relationships with case managers.Success depends on communication, advocacy, and becoming the local expert—engage with VFW posts, American Legion, and Wounded Warrior groups.Credentialing varies widely by state and timeline; you need proper licensing, NPI, compliance, and patience.First referrals are high-stakes: follow VA rules (no OT, no holiday pay, correct billing cycles) to avoid risking credentialing.Nationwide, VA hours and authorizations are tightening; incomplete caregiver notes can result in lost hours because case managers lack context.Providers must tell the full story in documentation and prepare for stricter screening and re-credentialing processes that are popping up at more and more VA offices. Paradigmseniors.com / vault.paradigmseniors.com National Aging in Place Council: https://ageinplace.org/ Sponsors:Baba (callbaba.com): AI phone-based co-pilot for seniors to prevent loneliness, create support, and connect them with professionals Paradigm (paradigmseniors.com): Credentialing, billing automation, and revenue cycle management for VA and Medicaid paymentsHomeSight (vantiva.com/homesight): TV-based wellness hub for blended care—video visits, health monitoring, and daily reminders for the family and care team

#35 Technology is ending the era of dual-entry between phone calls and scheduling platforms in home care. Spencer joined the family-owned home care business three years ago and identified a handful of manual processes that needed attention immediately. Fast forward, he’s built a tool called SmartAutomations.Care that connects the phone system to your scheduling software and automates the documentation and communication of every single call that comes into the office so that nothing gets missed. He explains the workflows, the data that’s captured, success stories, and the results. This is the future of home care—removing dual entry, increasing efficiency, making office members 2-4x more efficient, and elevating the quality of care. Spencer Roth on LinkedInSpencer@smartautomations.careSmartAutomations.CareCypress Home Care SolutionsAirCall.io Sponsors:Acrisure midwest.acrisure.com/home-care24/7 Solutions 247solutions.co

#31 Running a home care agency can feel like running a marathon—at a 7-minute mile pace, on a treadmill, underwater. Most owners are stuck because they fall into one of two traps: the “set it and forget it” manager who assumes vision is enough, or the “I’ll just do it myself” manager who can’t let go of control. Emily Isbell, CEO of 24/7 Solutions breaks down why both fail and what it takes to build a management culture that actually sustains growth. She explains how to apply the TTOE framework—Teach, Train, Observe, Evaluate—and implement real training, grounded processes, and meaningful KPIs.
