HomeAdvantage®

HomeAdvantage® is a program that works with people living with chronic conditions such as Congestive Heart Failure and Chronic Lung Disease. Chronic conditions are health conditions that go on for a long time and become a part of everyday life. Living with chronic conditions can influence the way we think and how we interact with the world around us. It can be challenging to get the information and resources we need to live our best lives.

The HomeAdvantage® Program helps people get non-medical services that support their health and wellness. People in this program work closely with a Care Coordinator. A Care Coordinator is a person whose job it is to help people get the most out of their healthcare by helping to share information and connect people with services. HomeAdvantage® is designed to help people create a plan that focuses on their personal health goals. We do this by learning how health conditions can cause problems in our lives. Then we work on supporting and encouraging independence, both medically and in daily life.
