Affiliations & Expert Partnerships

Caring for a person with dementia is a physical and emotional journey. The Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) is a diverse coalition of passionate people creating a better society in which to live with dementia. Homewatch CareGivers takes part in key DAA committees which include the Corporate Leadership Council, Technology Committee, and Optimizing Well-Being Committee.

Goals of these committees include:

• Education about negative effects of stigma and misperceptions surrounding dementia
• Championing strategies for accommodations
• Identifying beneficial technologies
• Promoting relationship-centered support practices

Homewatch CareGivers partners with experts in dementia, family caregiving and the best approach to care. Their teachings and best practices have been infused into our care philosophy so that the care experience for the entire care team—the caregiver, care receiver, and those around them—is as enriching and engaging as possible. We share their expertise in regular blogs, FAQs, and videos on this website and through our social media channels.

Physicians we partner with include:

• G. Allen Power, MD
• Bill Thomas, MD

National Quality Partners (NQP™), an NQF initiative, is an active forum for National Quality Forum members to connect, collaborate, and supply thought leadership on quality improvement strategies to achieve national healthcare quality goals. NQP leads practical, action-oriented initiatives to drive meaningful and lasting change for patients and their families.

The NQP Leadership Consortium comprises 30 experts and thought leaders from the NQF membership, including Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Merck, American Hospital Association, and the Veterans Health Administration.

Homewatch CareGivers is a voting member of the National Quality Forum (NQF), a non-profit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving healthcare quality. The NQF acts, under legislative authority, as an advisory committee for federal government and private sector entities.

This membership allows us to identify opportunities for the home care industry through education and contributing to national efforts to improve health care. Homewatch CareGivers is the first home care company of its kind to become a member of the NQF, bringing an industry voice to this important organization.

At Homewatch CareGivers we believe that home care plays an important role in reducing medical costs and hospital readmissions. We are dedicated to improving healthcare quality through sharing and collaboration, as well as identifying measures that demonstrate the value of quality home care. Our work with NQF helps us discover how we can do these things better than ever before.

As a leader in the home care industry, Homewatch CareGivers is a proud member of the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA). Our COO, Jennifer Tucker, is a member of the board of directors at the HCAOA.

Homewatch CareGivers and the HCAOA share the mission to strengthen the professionalism of private duty home care providers through education and best practices. The HCAOA was founded on the principle that the purpose of private home care is to “employ, train, monitor and supervise caregivers, create a plan of care for the client and work toward a safe and secure environment for the person at home.”
