Health Home Program
ACCM’s Health Home program is designed for to help individuals living with chronic conditions such as (but not limited to) diabetes, hypertension or asthma, to remain healthy, and in their own homes. To qualify, two criteria must be met. The individual must: (1) Have 2 or more qualifying chronic conditions, or, be living with HIV/ AIDS or a serious mental illness, and; (2) be enrolled in Medicaid.
Once enrolled you or your family member/ loved one will benefit from a comprehensive care management service model. Each member is assigned an ACCM Care Manager who personally coordinates among each member's healthcare providers, as well as among other social service agencies which the member may be benefiting from, or could benefit from. Through this practice our team of social workers, nurses and community health workers help to obliterate the barriers which impact quality of life, and contribute to unnecessary visits to the emergency room and/ or hospitalization.
