Should health insurance plans cover home modifications to help elderly patients live safely at home?
Rosarium Health has launched a partnership with Anthem Medi-Cal to provide in-home fall prevention assessments and home modifications for California members. The expansion introduces these services across Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Fresno, and Kern.
Why it matters
This partnership addresses the increasing demand for accessible home-safety services as California's population of adults over 65 now exceeds the number of residents under 18. By managing the full cycle of home modifications, the initiative aims to reduce fall risks and inpatient stays for eligible members.
Medi-Cal provides a $7,500 lifetime limit for home modifications intended to prevent falls. The effectiveness of this service expansion will be measured by tracking emergency room visits, inpatient stays, and total cost of care for the participating population.

Health Landscape
This initiative follows the documented trend of California's aging population, where residents over 65 now outnumber those under 18. It integrates specialized home safety services into the existing care model to address the rising demand for aging-in-place resources.
If you are an Anthem Medi-Cal member in California concerned about fall risks in your living environment, discuss potential in-home assessment options with your primary care physician. These modifications are designed to enhance home safety, but eligibility and coverage should be confirmed through your specific plan.
The takeaway
Proactive home modifications can significantly lower the risk of falls for older adults. If you or a loved one are concerned about safety at home, ask your doctor or care coordinator if a professional assessment is appropriate for your specific health needs.
