A new Medicare-focused model from ATI Advisory outlines how assisted living providers could help deliver home- and community-based services to middle-income older adults—those who don’t qualify for Medicaid but can’t afford care on their own. The proposal targets improved care coordination and reduced healthcare spending, with projected Medicare savings of more than $500 million over 10 years.
For providers, the model highlights potential reimbursement pathways for services such as medically tailored meals, transportation, and personal care—areas where assisted living operators are already positioned to deliver support, particularly for residents without Medicaid coverage.
