Adult Health Home

A Health Home is a group of health and community agencies that have agreed to work together to help people with many serious and chronic health issues get what they need to keep them healthier and safer in their communities. Each health home member is matched with a care coordinator who works with the person to help them with all kinds of health issues as well as social and housing issues.

Who can join a Health Home?

Persons who are receiving Medicaid and:

  • Have two or more chronic diseases (diabetes, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, and high BMI)
  • or a Severe Mental Illness (SMI)
  • or HIV/AIDS 
 
Persons in need of assistance with referral and linkage to:
  • Medical treatment and care
  • Behavioral treatment and care 
  • Substance use treatment 


How does Health Home work?

If you are enrolled in a Health Home, a care coordinator will work with you to make a care plan to address your needs. This can include help with learning how to link and navigate the services available you. These services include: transportation; assistance with medications; assistance in scheduling and keeping appointments. A Care Coordinator will work with you and the Health Home team to help you get the services you need and to teach you how to stay healthy. This will help you avoid crises and the need to go to the emergency room or the hospital.
