At BrightStar Care of Moraga, we’ve always believed that compassionate, nurse-led in-home care leads to better health outcomes—and now, a newly commissioned study confirms just how impactful that care can be. BrightStar Care partnered with leading healthcare research firm Avalere Health to analyze the effectiveness of our services, and the results show measurable improvements in health and significant reductions in overall healthcare costs.
Proven Cost Savings with In-Home Care
Avalere’s research compared healthcare costs and outcomes between individuals receiving BrightStar Care services and those who did not. The results were remarkable:
-
Up to $29,902 in healthcare cost savings were realized for clients receiving BrightStar Care, particularly those living with one of 30 complex chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, and lung cancer.
-
Individuals over the age of 80 experienced a 49% reduction in healthcare costs after starting services—and costs were 58% lower compared to non-participants.
These statistics demonstrate how in-home personal care not only improves quality of life but also delivers significant financial value for families and the healthcare system.
Reducing Hospital Visits and Emergency Care
BrightStar Care clients experienced:
-
Fewer inpatient hospital admissions
-
Reduced emergency room visits
-
Less reliance on skilled nursing facilities
This lower utilization of intensive healthcare services is a clear sign that nurse-led, proactive care at home helps keep clients stable, safe, and well-supported.
Exceptional Outcomes for Complex Medical Needs
For individuals managing three or more chronic conditions, the study found a 33.6% reduction in overall medical costs. This shows the power of our customized, comprehensive care plans, which address not just one issue, but the full scope of a client’s health challenges.
