AgeServe Connect
Remote Service Coordination
For many low-income housing communities, HUD subsidies do not provide sufficient
funding for owners to offer social service coordination for residents.
With tight budgets for the foreseeable future it is highly unlikely that
these subsidies will be expanded anytime soon. With AgeServe Remote Service
Coordinator software, owners are able to offer residents these services
in person on an economic basis with live video conferencing between a central
Visiting Service Center at the community and their corporate office or
contracted service provider location.
Instead
of needing communities of several hundred residents to make it cost effective
to offer these highly valued services, owners of smaller unit denominations
can now use this high tech – high touch solution to meet this market
need.
One service coordinator can now respond on demand to residents in several
smaller communities via video links. Residents have direct dial phones that
they can pick up in the Visiting Service Center to contact the coordinator.
The coordinator then simply ‘dials’ into the video system at
the Center to have the meeting with a resident.
In addition, the coordinator can network in via cell phone any other service
provider that a resident needs to speak with to arrange to receive services.
Acting as an ombudsman to facilitate connecting residents with the direct
services they need, owners immediately increase the value of their community
to their residents, and qualify for HUD reimbursement for delivery of such
services, and improve their long-range occupancy versus the larger communities
where such services are routinely provided.
