Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community recently sat down with Tom Najjar, Co Founder & President, and Heather Najjar, Co Founder & Chief Clinical Officer of CarePlus Home Health, to reflect on the organization's three decades of service, its deep roots in the community, and its vision for the future.A Personal Start Focused on QualityCarePlus Home Health was founded in 1995 when Tom Najjar was caring for his father during end-of-life. The experience inspired him to launch CarePlus not only as a business but as a mission to provide quality, compassionate care. From the start, Tom emphasized quality over growth: “We wanted to have a good reputation and rely on referrals rather than advertising. We built a reputation we're proud of and made many partnerships within the community.”Leadership with Clinical StrengthHeather Najjar, a doctorally-prepared nurse practitioner with 32 years of experience, helms the clinical side of CarePlus. She leads a robust team, all registered nurses, ensuring education and professional development are continual priorities. “Our clinical leadership team is especially strong,” Heather shared, highlighting ongoing training and opportunities for caregivers to develop their skills.Flexible, Community-Based CareCarePlus stands out for its adaptable approach to home care. The organization has established close partnerships with a variety of residential settings, including independent and assisted living communities, and offers what it calls "flex care." This allows clients to receive services starting at just 30 minutes and up to full 24/7 care, making professional support accessible and affordable even for those who might only need occasional help.Heather noted the unique value CarePlus brings to independent living communities that lack in-house healthcare: “We fill the gap where there's either no care or not enough care, providing everything from hands-on support to light housekeeping and transportation.”Commitment to Excellence in TrainingA key differentiator is CarePlus's investment in professional training. All caregivers undergo an annual two-day skills event as well as in-person orientation and return demonstrations for new employees. The clinical team regularly refreshes caregiver skills and provides remediation when needed. Tom credits much of the company's reputation and client satisfaction to this strong foundation of education and support: “The strength is the clinical team, making sure our caregivers are up to speed on what they need to know and do.”A Culture of Collaboration and Giving BackTom and Heather emphasized the importance of collaboration—both within their team and across the wider caregiving community. Tom reflected, “I don't look at competitors as competitors. We refer to and rely on each other for services and information. It makes us all stronger.” This collaborative ethos extends to supporting other agencies and building a network of trusted providers.Looking Back and AheadWith staff members who have remained part of the CarePlus team for decades, Tom and Heather are proud of the supportive community they've built, not only among clients and families but also within their own organization. As Heather summed up: “I love the focus on training and a career path for our caregivers. It's a wonderful mission.”As CarePlus enters its fourth decade, the Najjars' commitment remains unwavering: delivering personalized, quality care while supporting caregivers and the entire community. Their story showcases what's possible when compassion, professionalism, and community engagement come together in service of others.

There are serious ramifications for the continued payment reductions in the Medicare home health regulations, Steven Landers, MD, MPH, CEO of the National Alliance for Care at Home, said. Beyond the lack of access to home health services, the whole payment structure has been decimated, he said. This year, the home health payment program will total just over $15 billion, down from $17.8 billion in 2019. The cuts are making it harder for agencies to have the purchasing power to staff agencies. Another negative development for home care is the passage of the “Big Beautiful” bill, which will place pressure on states to reduce home- and community-based services. The Medicaid work requirements in the law may hurt personal care workers who use Medicaid as their health insurance, he noted. While home care is not the most powerful lobbying contingent in Washington, “sometimes right beats might,” Landers said. Landers' past positions, which included his role as director of home care at the Cleveland Clinic, helped him see the value of home care and how policy making in Washington affected the care regular people receive. As part of his tenure, he would like to see home care providers be able to deploy new care models such as the Medicare Care Choices Model. Landers sees the Alliance being a partner with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to combat rampant hospice fraud.Follow us on social media:X: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow the National Alliance for Care at Home on social media:X: @TheAllianceHomeFacebook: National Alliance for Care at HomeLinkedIn: National Alliance for Care at HomeInstagram: thealliancehomeShow contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; Steven Landers, MD, MPH, CEO, National Alliance for Care at Home

In today's episode, we explore the evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), with a focus on its healthcare applications—IoHT (Internet of Health Things) and MIoT (Medical Internet of Things). These technologies are reshaping healthcare, personal safety, and connected care. The MIoT market is projected to grow from $93 billion in 2025 to $134 billion by 2029, while the smart hospital market may reach $148 billion. With 2.2 to 3.3 million connected medical devices already in use globally, the impact on patient monitoring, operational efficiency, and health equity is significant. While macro trends are important, we'll also highlight specific technologies making a difference every day.In past episodes, we've talked about challenges associated with an aging population and in today's episode we'll dial in and look to connect the dots with connected devices that are focused on sending medical alerts. As a quick highlight, 1 in 4 adults over 65 fall each year, which is a significant number considering that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults age 65 and older. The Golden Hour is the critical first 60 minutes following an emergency event, when receiving treatment is believed to offer the greatest chances of survival.Here to talk about all of this and more is Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark. LogicMark provides a comprehensive platform of technology products and services that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). It provides technology products and services in healthcare communications and personal safety applications and services.Listen in with us as we discuss best practices for future-ready home health and the importance of inter-connected devices.Other insights range from how AI and ML are helping to transition from more reactive responses to more predictive responses with health-tech, to an introduction for the concept of “care villages” and how “connected data and devices” will start to virtually emulate the historical practices of multi-generational housing, to why game theory is emerging as a strategy in healthcare to balance between the various stakeholders and create winning scenarios as well as the best outcomes for patients.For more details visit TechLink Health on the web or connect with Chia-Lin on LinkedIn.This episode was hosted by Dr. Sarah Samaan.
After discovering her toxic chemical levels were 88% higher than the average American, DailyMail Deputy Health Editor Alexa Lardieri took a bold step: she joined Ruan Living's pioneering and transformative 40-Day Home Detox program to reduce her everyday exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and benzene. In this follow-up to episodes 86–89, Alexa returns to share her before-and-after Million Marker urine test results—and the data is powerful. Her bisphenol levels dropped from 88% to zero, and other chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer also fell significantly. You'll learn: The invisible yet measurable impact of toxic exposures in daily life How Alexa's small product swaps led to big biological shifts What Alexa swapped to dramatically lower her bisphenol and benzene levels The role of urine testing for toxins in tracking real detox progress What factors might have temporarily elevated her phthalate levels again How travel, beauty products, and furniture can reintroduce exposures Smart strategies for choosing non-toxic furniture and textiles Whether you're seeking hormone balance, fertility support, or cancer recovery, this episode reveals how detoxing your home can radically lower your toxic burden—in just 40 days.
We're getting bad news from what seems like every direction these days. Governments and media are all talking about wars and destruction. But this is not new. We've been through these kinds of events before, too many times, and we're still here and moving forward. We can't let panic, wars and market crashes control our choices. These thnigs happen without our input. We can control our clarity, courage and conviction to stay on course. If you've been considering planning for future extended care needs, or if you've been working on your plan, don't stop now. Too many find a reason to pause and then forget their reasons for planning in the first place. Then, 10 or 20 years go by, and something happens to them or someone close to them, and they restart their search. At that point, plans are much more expensive or not available due to age or health concerns. Let's work together to design your plan today and protect those you love most tomorrow. Schedule
The Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) model seeks to achieve four key objectives. 1) Improve the quality and efficiency of home health care 2) Improve the patient's experience with care 3) Strengthen the patient's physical function 4) Address the patient's health issues before they require an ED visit. In 2025, CMS is launching an expanded Home Health Value-Based program to better compare provider quality and streamline the reporting process.

Case management represents the invisible thread that weaves together all aspects of patient care in home health and hospice settings—yet many clinicians receive minimal training in this critical skill. The conversation between Jennifer Kennedy and Kim Skehan dives deep into what effective case management looks like and why it matters so profoundly for both patient outcomes and regulatory compliance. As Kim notes, "Case management is a next level skill" that requires dedicated training and support beyond what most clinicians receive in their professional education. Organizations must invest in developing these capabilities, recognizing that quality case management takes months—not days—to cultivate.Beyond simply making visits, case management involves comprehensive assessment, holistic care planning, and coordination across disciplines to address all patient needs. When done well, it improves patient outcomes, prevents complications, and creates seamless care transitions. When it falters, the consequences can be severe, with many survey findings at the condition level or immediate jeopardy stemming directly from coordination failures. This reality highlights the intersection where compliance meets quality—where doing right by patients simultaneously protects organizations from regulatory challenges.With increasing patient acuity in home-based care, case management has become more complex and demanding. Today's case managers must effectively coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage high-complexity patients, and ensure comprehensive documentation of all care activities. While technology and AI provide increasingly valuable support tools, the human elements of assessment, coordination, and communication remain irreplaceable. The most successful organizations combine robust training programs with clear processes and adequate time allowances for this vital function.Ready to strengthen your organization's case management practices?

What happens when life forces you to confront deep-seated negativity? My wife joins me to share her transformative journey in this powerful episode that examines how removing toxicity creates space for unexpected blessings.After losing her mother to suicide, my wife began evaluating every aspect of her life—relationships, possessions, and most significantly, her increasingly toxic workplace. Despite creating her referral department position from scratch and investing five years with the company, she found herself consistently overworked and underappreciated. The final straw came when management approached her the day after her mother's death, offering a nominal raise while simultaneously eliminating her title.Today, she reveals how this painful chapter led to an exciting new opportunity with Maine Health's Home Health and Hospice Services—a position that perfectly aligns with her strengths while offering the work-from-home flexibility her previous employer had promised but never delivered. Her story powerfully demonstrates how removing negativity creates space for positive change.We don't just discuss her experience—we provide actionable steps to help you eliminate negativity from your own life. From becoming aware of negative thought patterns to challenging them through reframing, practicing gratitude, surrounding yourself with positive people, and engaging in activities that bring joy, we offer a comprehensive roadmap for transformation.The first half of the show also features exciting updates about our Loud Proud American brand, including our new No-Tariff Guarantee that allows us to lower prices while maintaining our commitment to American manufacturing.

Angela started her career as a critical care nurse in 2014. She received her first MSN in 2017 with an emphasis in public health. In 2022, she received her 2nd MSN in Adult/Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.
