Is your PERS program doing enough?

PERS can help members get help when an emergency happens—but Medicaid plans have an opportunity to think beyond the button.

A broader Age Tech strategy can help address risks and challenges before they escalate, while supporting members with everyday activities and helping them remain independent at home.

In our upcoming webinar, we'll explore how health plans can:
✔️ Use PERS data to identify opportunities for proactive interventions
✔️ Expand into fall risk mitigation and social isolation prevention
✔️ Incorporate enabling technologies for everyday needs
✔️ Increase adoption with tech support and human services
✔️ Build a strategy to measure impact on outcomes and engagement

Join Olivia Adams of Best Buy Health on September 16 at 1 PM ET to explore what's next after PERS.

Best Buy Health’s Caring Centers are helping transform how independent living communities extend support and respond to residents in real time.

As Chris Nall, CTO at Atria Senior Living, explains, residents are connected within seconds to trained agents who can immediately assess the situation, identify context, and determine the right escalation path.

Whether that means contacting onsite staff, a clinician, or a family member, Best Buy Health provides a scalable first layer of response that helps bridge staffing gaps, especially overnight, when coverage is limited.

For more than 20 years, Jitterbug from Best Buy Health has helped millions of older adults and their families stay connected, stay safe, and live more independently. Along the way, we've learned that caregiving is about more than safety and support, it's also about keeping loved ones informed, connected, and supported when it matters most.

That's why Best Buy Health and CaringBridge are working together to help close an important gap for family caregivers.

Best Buy Health combines wellness- and age-tech with human support and services to empower people to age independently and safely. CaringBridge provides a free, private, ad-free platform where families can share health updates, coordinate support, and stay connected, with millions of visits each year, and support provided on the patient’s behalf.

Together, we're helping address two essential caregiver needs: confidence that a loved one is supported with the right resources and a trusted way to keep family and friends informed along the journey.

Two organizations. Tens of millions of families served each year. One shared goal: seeking to make caregiving a little easier.
