OneAmerica Financial® and Amada Senior Care Team Up to Enhance Care for Caregivers
In a notable advancement for the Long-Term Care (LTC) industry, OneAmerica Financial® and Amada Senior Care have revealed a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at improving the caregiving landscape for both policyholders and their caregivers. As the need for support in long-term care continues to grow, this partnership not only reinforces their commitment to high-quality care but also serves as a significant step towards enhancing the overall experience for families navigating these times.
Acknowledging the essential role that informal caregivers play—often balancing caregiving with their everyday responsibilities—OneAmerica Financial is enhancing its leading long-term care product, Asset Care 2024. This enhancement introduces new resources specifically designed to aid caregivers at home, including the innovative Caregiver Consultant benefit, which is set to play a pivotal role in this collaboration.
The partnership's primary focus lies in the effective delivery of the Caregiver Consultant benefit. Through this program, Amada Senior Care will facilitate monthly consultations, either in-person or virtually, for eligible policyholders and their caregivers. These sessions will serve as vital touchpoints, providing necessary guidance, education, and resources to optimize the care plan while helping families connect with additional programs that can enhance their quality of life.
Jeff Levin, the Vice President of Distribution for Care Solutions at OneAmerica Financial, states, "Our collective approach centers around holistic care for policyholders. By lightening the load on caregivers, policyholders, and their families, we demonstrate our commitment to their welfare."
The sentiment is echoed by Tafa Jefferson, the Founder and CEO of Amada Senior Care, who emphasizes that this unique alliance transcends mere contractual obligations, representing a shared vision and expertise from both organizations—aimed at reshaping the long-term care industry.
Insights from the OneAmerica Financial Leading Tomorrow 2024 Caregiver Study highlight the challenges faced by informal caregivers. The findings show that 56% reported feeling frustrated with their caregiving roles, while 51% struggled to balance these duties with other aspects of their lives, and nearly half experienced burnout. This partnership aims not only to address these logistical hurdles but also to assist families in navigating the complexities of daily care responsibilities.
“Both organizations see a tremendous opportunity to fundamentally improve the lives of families affected by long-term care needs,” mentions Amy Chinn, Vice President of LTC Claims and Risk Management at OneAmerica Financial. "By creating a new model of cooperation between insurers and care providers like Amada Senior Care, we aim to yield better outcomes for our policyholders and their families."
