Episode 246- Making Accountable Care Work in Long-Term Care: Lessons from the Front Lines

Traditionally, Medicare-focused accountable care organizations (ACOs) and long-term care have struggled to align—leaving many facilities and residents without access to the benefits of value-based care. In this episode, Mike Camacho of Sound Long-Term Care Management shares how his team is changing that—saving nearly $114 million for Medicare while reducing emergency department visits and hospitalizations. The conversation highlights how data-driven support, scalable care coordination, and provider engagement are making accountable care viable in residential settings—and what it will take to expand these models as the population ages.
