Simply Healthcare’s LTSS
program helps older adults and individuals with disabilities remain as
independent as possible. It connects members with services provided in the
home, or in the community to assist with daily living activities and allow
members to be actively involved in the local community. Case Managers work
directly with each member to determine needs and develop a person-centered plan
to meet those needs, engaging community-based services or facilities that can
provide the appropriate level of care for each individual.
