MyCare Vermont
A Resource for Independence Through Integrated Health Care

What, Who, How & Why?

What is it?

MyCare Vermont is a planning grant funded with Federal dollars to integrate the assortment of health care an individual may need.

Who will be eligible?

Vermonters who are elderly, frail, at-risk or chronically ill, and adults with physical disabilities.

How will it work and how is it different?

Choices for Care:

• Provides person-centered care for individuals 18 years and older.

• Changes delivery of long-term care services.

• Provides equal access to nursing facility or home and community based services.

PACE:

• Provides person-centered care for individuals 55 years and older.

• Integrates primary/acute and long-term care services through an interdisciplinary team.

• Operates at a PACE center.

MyCare Vermont will:

• Provide person-centered care for individuals over the age of 18.

• Integrate primary/acute and long-term care services through an interdisciplinary team.

• Operate through community networks.

Why will this change be good for Vermonters?

• Person-centered care is at the heart of an interdisciplinary team.

• Lack of integration makes the current system inefficient.

• An integrated system generates better outcomes.
