An August 2018 article published in the national research journal Cityscape reports that Vermont’s groundbreaking “Support and Services at Home” (SASH) program for older adults and people with disabilities is slowing the growth of Medicare expenditures in emergency-room visits and specialist services.
Improved health, slowed Medicare expenditures and more health-savvy older adults: these are the findings of the latest federally funded, third-party evaluation of older adults living in Vermont affordable-housing communities and enrolled in SASH® (Support and Services at Home)
The Vermont Foodbank and SASH® (Support and Services at Home, a comprehensive care-coordination model managed through nonprofit housing organizations throughout Vermont), have extended their partnership for a third year.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has named 40 senior housing developments in seven states that will pilot a program modeled after SASH®, the innovative, supportive-services housing model created by Cathedral Square Corporation of South Burlington, Vermont.
