Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
Live @ HCAOA—20-minute conversation with Clayton Foutch, CEO of Home Matters Caregiving
- Clayton Foutch on LinkedIn
- Home Matters Caregiving
- Home Matters started as a family business in 2007, franchised in 2020, and now has 39 locations nationwide.
- Built on a nurse-guided, innovation-focused model shaped by Clayton’s engineering background.
- Traditional care mainly serves the top 5% who can afford $10–30K/month, leaving a huge access and labor gap.
- The team has reviewed ~40 emerging technologies and formally tested several to close these gaps.
- Passive tech matters most—anything clients must wear, charge, or interact with quickly fails.
- Sensi leads in audio-based passive monitoring, but roughly 25% of clients still resist it.
- Operators must shift from reactive to proactive care models using tech to prevent incidents.
- Agencies can partner with discharge planners by offering tech-forward solutions for families who can’t afford full-time care, proving value through metrics like readmissions.
