It was 3 o'clock in the morning when Scott Middleton finally signed the papers. The merger was official. And within days, he was already on the road — visiting facilities, riding along with providers, and spotting the same gap everywhere he went: brilliant clinicians doing real work that was completely invisible to the system. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Jamie sits down with Scott Middleton, calling in from Boston, to unpack what he's discovering on the ground in the newly merged Your Health organization — and why tracking your time isn't about paperwork. It's about protection, proof, and getting paid for every minute of care you're already delivering. What you'll hear in this episode: The Dr. Jeeve story: a high-producing doc who managed a nursing home crisis by phone, saved a patient from an unnecessary ER visit — and never billed for it, leaving Medicare with no record of his intervention Why not documenting a visit before a hospitalization doesn't just cost you revenue — it makes you look like a bad provider, even when you did everything right How insurance companies like United Healthcare boldly take 15% off the top of every healthcare dollar — and why that math means providers can't afford to give their time away for free The TCPA pattern Scott keeps seeing: 15,000–18,000 visits a month, almost entirely in nursing homes, with zero follow-up once patients go home The new post-discharge standard: every patient leaving a nursing home gets a telehealth visit within 48 hours, then weekly follow-up for four weeks — no one gets left in the gap This episode is a masterclass in understanding that documentation isn't bureaucracy — it's how you tell your story, protect your reputation, and keep the care you've already given from disappearing. www.YourHealth.Org

What does it actually cost when a doctor writes a verbal order over the phone instead of seeing the patient? Scott Middleton has the receipts — and the answer is going to make you rethink everything about how American healthcare spends its money. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott announces a landmark three-way merger bringing Your Health together with Transitional Care Professionals of America (TCPA) out of Georgia and Providence Care, a hospice organization in South Carolina. The combined organization will serve approximately 55,000 active patients — not patients on a list, but people being seen regularly — and Scott lays out exactly how he's going to run it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Scott's family owning 80% of the merged company changes everything about how decisions get made — and who they get made for The difference between fee-for-service and value-based care, and why the ACO model means every unnecessary hospitalization literally comes out of Your Health's pocket How Your Health's risk-adjustment-based visit model (16 visits per year per risk point) was independently validated by a new government study — and why it works The three things Scott is asking every new employee to do in the first weeks: align with a nurse practitioner, track every minute of care management, and recruit like their livelihood depends on it — because it does Why Scott's new management philosophy is six words: "Keep them out of the hospital and see your damn patients" This isn't a corporate announcement. It's a playbook for how healthcare can actually work when operators run the company, providers see their patients, and every minute of care gets counted. www.YourHealth.Org

Heads up — this is Part 2 of Jamie's conversation with Jaclyn Taylor If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back and start there. It sets up everything we unpack today. Most healthcare teams are working hard. They're just not working together. And the patient is the one absorbing the cost. In this second half of the conversation, Jamie and Jaclyn move from the why into the how. What does it actually look like when a provider stops responding to today's schedule and starts managing an entire patient panel? How do you turn a community health worker, a pharmacist, a PT, and a social worker into one coordinated team instead of four parallel ones? And what's the difference between data that produces reports and data that produces decisions? You'll hear: Why "frequent touches" only work when they're connected — and how fragmented touches still land patients back in the hospital The quarterback model — what it actually means for a provider to own a patient's trajectory, not just their visit The shift from seeing patients to managing a population — and why most providers were never taught how Why we don't have a resource problem in healthcare — we have an orchestration opportunity How to use technology and data without drowning in either What "showing up" really means inside a system that isn't perfect yet This is the episode for anyone trying to lead change from inside a system that's still catching up.

In this episode of The Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, we sit down with Jeff Salter, CEO & Founder of Caring Senior Service—one of the true OGs in senior care franchising.

But it's not all pro-build—this is a balanced, real-world conversation about cost, scale, expertise, and knowing when not to build.We also explore how AI is reshaping the equation, enabling faster prototyping, smarter workflows, and new ways to unlock value from data—without losing sight of what matters most: human connection.A must-listen for franchise leaders thinking about tech strategy, innovation, and where to place their next bet.Special thanks to our episode sponsor, ClientTether, for supporting the show and helping franchise brands operate smarter and grow faster.Thanks for listening to the Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, where we explore the ideas, strategies, and people shaping the future of franchising.If you found today's episode valuable, please subscribe, rate, and share it with a fellow franchise leader.

The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) has become a high-stakes mandate that could determine the financial survival of modern practices and the physicians who care for long-term care residents. While the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services quality program has existed for years, a "perfect storm" of increasing penalties and a national push toward value-based care is forcing post-acute providers to better support active clinical participation — and to form more meaningful partnerships between SNF operators, PAC physician practices and value-based care model entities such as ISNPs, hospital-based ACOs and PAC-centric ACOs. "There's this sort of perfect storm of confusion happening between different CMS programs that a patient may be attributed to... that the practice now has to keep track of somehow," says Steve Buslovich, chief medical officer for senior care at PointClickCare. In the latest episode of the Market Leaders podcast, McKnight's Long-Term Care New Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas sits down with Buslovich and Tom Haithcoat, vice president of government affairs with Care Connect MD and president of Ceptor Consulting. Together, they decode how MIPS is influencing care — and coordination — at the bedside, as well as the friction between traditional primary care metrics and the unique realities of the geriatric population. They also explore why stronger alignment and collaboration across SNFs, physician groups and value-based entities is becoming essential to succeed under evolving CMS models. Penalties for non-compliance or poor reporting can now slash Medicare reimbursement by up to 9%, often representing the difference between a practice being "in the black or in the red,” Buslovich says. But often, Haithcoat adds, failure to capture care may be a reflection of missing or misaligned technology rather than lapses in patient treatments. Listen in to learn why practitioners often struggle to capture quality measures across fragmented systems, and how the MIPS measures themselves may be a mismatch for today's skilled nursing and senior living residents. If you need a full breakdown on helping reduce the burden for your community's physicians and clinicians as they navigate MIPS pathways, this is the episode for you.

Financial distress in senior care rarely happens overnight. Subtle breakdowns in cash conversion, labor alignment, and sales momentum often appear long before a census decline makes the crisis visible. Yet, many owners and lenders remain focused on occupancy rather than the execution metrics that actually drive it. In the latest episode of the McKnight's Market Leaders podcast, Executive Editor Jim Berklan sits down with experts from Everest Management Solutions to discuss "operational drift" — a quiet threat that can devastate a facility if left unchecked. Joining the conversation are Elizabeth Thornton, chief operating officer, and Tiffany Flynn, vice president for senior living sales and operations. Together, they pull back the layers on why a stable census can sometimes mask deep-seated structural issues. The discussion highlights three critical areas for operators to monitor: -Quality over quantity: A high census is meaningless if it consists of "bad" revenue, such as unoptimized rates or significant collection issues. -The churn trap: In senior living, net move-ins and length of stay are more predictive than raw occupancy, which often hides a high-turnover "revolving door" of residents. -Leadership and systems: Stabilization is only realistic if leadership is held accountable and provided with the systemic tools — not just cost-cutting mandates — to succeed. As the experts note, waiting for a formal survey deficiency or a financial crash is often waiting too long. Success requires a holistic, interdisciplinary look at daily operations to ensure quality outcomes match the revenue goals. "Operational drift doesn't announce itself. It shows up quietly," Flynn warns. "It shows up in the metrics. It shows up in the way the staff is responding ... It's not like a big red flag goes up that says it's time to get help." Listen to the full podcast episode to learn how to build a practical framework for stabilizing performance and protecting your asset value before the drift becomes a downfall.

Send us Fan MailFamilies don't always start with Google. A huge number start with a post to friends and neighbors: “Does anyone know a good home care agency for my mom?” That's why we're getting tactical about Facebook marketing for home care agencies and why a neglected business page can quietly cost you trust before you ever get a chance to earn the referral. We walk through how Facebook actually functions as a community outreach engine for senior care: where decision makers spend time, why local groups and neighborhood conversations matter, and how to participate without sounding salesy. We also unpack the most misunderstood metric on social media right now. Follower count is far less important than comments, shares, reactions, and real discussion. If you want referrals and leads, your goal is familiarity and credibility, not volume posting. You'll get a clear content framework you can reuse every week: community connection posts from events, educational caregiving tips that answer real questions, and human stories that spotlight caregivers and team culture. We also cover when paid Facebook ads make sense, including caregiver recruiting and simple lead magnet guides that build your email list over time. Plus, we touch the questions families ask most about home care cost and Medicare so your content matches what people actually want to know. If this helps, subscribe, share this with a home care owner or marketer, and leave a review so more senior care professionals can find practical, ethical marketing strategies.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev

In this episode of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I sit down with Yang Su and Xing Su, co-founders of Seen Health. This is the first time EVER we had twin founders on the show so was fun to find out who actually came out first and what it takes to run a business together. The two brothers were "tech & consultancy royalty", who had never touched a medical record until their own family needed help. Now, they are proving that the biggest innovation in healthcare isn't a new algorithm (though their platform is a key ingredient to scale); it's a "one-stop-shop" center where a doctor, a physical therapist, and a hot meal are all down the same hallway and a community are all a big part of being "seen". The 4 Pillars of the Seen Health Thesis: -The "Roadster" Framework: Why you must start with the $100k-per-year, high-frailty "Roadster" model to build the infrastructure that will eventually drive costs down to $1k-per-month for everyone. -The Operator's Edge: Why having "outsider" eyes allowed them to see that 70% of senior care is actually logistics, transportation, and nutrition - not just medicine. -The Focus Trap: Why they turned down "easy" revenue from selling their software to stay "unapologetically" focused on the elderly patient in front of them. -Hospitality as Medicine: Borrowing the "Ritz Carlton" philosophy to ensure seniors feel "seen" rather than processed by an institution. Fun mentions as always: Erik Milster, Elon Musk, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., Tesla, Uber, Salesforce, Google, Coursera, Andrew Ng [00:02:40] The 3-Minute Birth Gap: Why being the "older" twin created a lifelong competitive rub. [00:09:00] The "Silicon Valley Dream" vs. Reality: Leaving Google and Stanford's Andrew Ng to find "scars" in the real world. [00:16:10] The Magical Twin Synchronicity: How Uber and Quip were both acquired on the exact same day, charting a course back to each other. [00:18:20] Discovering PACE: Why a 50-year-old model from San Francisco's Chinatown is still the gold standard. [00:25:20] The San Gabriel Valley Bet: Why they chose hyper-focus over "general" scaling. [00:32:40] The Tesla Roadster Analogy: How to scale high-touch care by driving the "blueprint" cost down from $100k. [00:43:00] The EHR From Scratch: Why they built their own tech stack instead of buying "off the shelf". [00:47:30] The Refusal to Commercialize: Turning down tech revenue to protect the patient experience. [00:51:50] The Closer: "Unapologetically yourself"—advice to their younger twin selves.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona.

Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona, details improving senior care beyond “warehousing.” Cranmer describes his path from Air Force pilot to assisted living operator and explains changes he implemented over 12 years, emphasizing meaningful exercise (walks, strength training, yoga, multitasking drills) and an “exercise with oxygen therapy” bike. He highlights excessive polypharmacy in seniors and advocates deprescribing, supplement and hormone support when medically ordered, and avoiding sedating drugs used as chemical restraints. Cranmer details a low-glycemic, low-carbohydrate, ketosis-oriented nutrition approach inspired by Dr. Dale Bredesen, reporting significant weight loss and diabetes medication reduction in residents. He discusses COVID practices that preserved family contact and outdoor time, reporting no COVID deaths in his homes, and describes cognitive training via one-on-one Zoom-based brain exercises and personalized memory games.

The most misunderstood symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia are behavioral changes such as agitation, aggression, and social withdrawal. Author Lisa Skinner, in her book Truth, Lies & Alzheimer's: Its Secret Faces, identifies these as the "secret faces" of the disease—non-verbal communication used when a patient can no longer express physical pain or fear through words. Families often mistake these for personality flaws rather than neurological symptoms. While standard medical advice often focuses on "reality orientation"—constantly correcting a patient's confusion—Skinner advocates for an unconventional path that prioritizes emotional peace of mind over factual accuracy. This approach meets the patient in their own reality to reduce dementia-related distress, shifting the focus from clinical management to emotional validation. The "Truth vs. Lie" dynamic is a cornerstone of this compassionate care model. Skinner argues that "therapeutic fibbing" is often the kinder choice. Forcing a patient to face a painful truth, such as the death of a spouse decades ago, causes them to relive traumatic grief repeatedly. Entering their world to provide comfort is a more humane alternative than a truth that causes unnecessary psychological harm. In the realm of regenerative medicine, as highlighted in Skinner's work with Dr. Anand Srivastava, the narrative of brain diagnoses is shifting from inevitable decline toward potential cellular repair. Advances in stem cell research and cellular rejuvenation offer a future where "devastating" diagnoses are viewed through the lens of biological mitigation and neuro-regeneration rather than just symptom management. For caregivers navigating the "relentless pace" of the caregiver's gauntlet, the most immediate mental health shift is to Release the Guilt. Recognizing that "you cannot pour from an empty cup" is essential. Skinner emphasizes that accepting personal limitations and acknowledging that "good enough" care is more sustainable than perfectionist burnout is the first step toward reclaiming mental well-being.

Isabelle Guarino is the CEO of RAL Academy and a pioneering force in transforming the assisted living industry. Inspired by personal experience and her father's legacy, Isabelle empowers others to profit with purpose by turning residential assisted living into a vehicle for wealth, impact, and dignity. Through her educational programs, bestselling books, and heartfelt mentorship, she helps entrepreneurs create compassionate care homes that honor seniors while giving families peace of mind and financial freedom. Takeaways: Residential assisted living offers a homelike, dignified alternative to institutional care, allowing seniors to age with respect and families to remain connected in meaningful ways. Entrepreneurs can build impactful and profitable businesses in assisted living without being hands-on caregivers, by owning and operating residential homes and leveraging state licensing for both general and memory care. Achieving success in this space (and any entrepreneurial venture) requires taking action, commitment, and coachability—not just knowledge and intention.

In an RAL, you might have four to one or five to one. That could be the difference between life and death.” —Isabelle Guarino “You are allowing the daughter or son to be a daughter or son once again...
