South Florida Medicaid Meals Home Delivery – Independent Living Systems

Founded in 2001, Independent Living Systems (ILS) was formed to assist health plans and other organizations in the delivery of community based services as an alternative to costly institutional based care.

Miami home delivered Medicaid meals 

In developing and implementing one of the country’s first long-term care diversion program in the country, we learned that nearly 70% of people residing in nursing homes would not need to be there if they had access to community based resources to support them. With an average cost of a year-long stay in a nursing home at $60,000, ILS developed the Managed Long-Term Services and Supports Program to reduce those costs to an average of $25,000. Improving costs and quality, combined with a patient’s preference to live at home has been the driving force behind the development of our future services.

LS is one of the nation’s largest nutritional providers delivering high-quality dietician-designed meals to the elderly, special needs, and at-risk populations. Members receive dietary menus that are tailored to the health care needs of the recipient.

ILS meals help individuals achieve their nutrition goals at critical times to help them regain and maintain their health. The results include improved member health outcomes, lower hospital readmission rates, a well-maintained nutritional health status, and increased member satisfaction.
