Connecting You to Care and Compassion
The Center for Community Based Care supports the delivery of community-based care through public awareness and consumer education. By connecting families and individuals across Ohio with resources they need, the Center helps families receive the exceptional care they deserve. The Center’s programs connect individuals of all ages to tools and resources to help them remain in their homes and with their families. The Center is the nonprofit foundation arm of the Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice.
CCBC Launch with Cardale Jones
Cleveland’s own Cardale Jones joined us at the CCBC launch event in Columbus this September. Cardale is Co-Founder & General Manager of THE Foundation and a championship-winning Quarterback with The Ohio State Buckeyes. Whether it’s working with football teams to help boys become men, or in life in general to help kids become responsible adults, Cardale’s experience, wisdom, and true-blue attitude has given him the opportunity to be where he is today – giving back to the community that he loves. The Council is excited to have Cardale, a special man with a clear vision to support Ohio’s caring community, on our team as we kick off CCBC’s bold initiatives.
CCBC Initiatives
To address the increase in critical home health care needs, two of the Center’s first initiatives will focus on workforce and connectivity.
• Home-Based Nursing Student Clinical Rotations
To address the shortage of nurses in home health and hospice settings, CCBC will partner with Ohio nursing schools to develop home-based clinical rotation experiences for nursing students. These rotations will provide hands-on learning opportunities exposing students to careers in hospice, home care and home-based primary care. Most nursing students rarely experience home-based care, either through a personal or family experience or in their clinical preparation during their nursing education.
• Clinical Advocate Resource Exchange (CARE)
This telephone-based program employs patient advocates to provide care navigation assistance for patients and care teams by connecting them to necessary services, resources, transportation, home care agencies, hospice providers, and more. This will enhance the healthcare continuum while relieving home care clinicians of non-billable tasks required to fully support patients.
