Later-life transitions—like retirement, bereavement, or empty nesting—can be destabilizing for older members, especially when their housing no longer fits their lifestyle, budget, or support needs. While these transitions are deeply personal, they’re also highly predictable—and they often trigger disengagement, risk, or rising healthcare costs.
For health plans, this isn’t just a life event. It’s a moment to act.
At Upside, we help health plans navigate these high-impact transitions by offering relocation and housing stability services that improve outcomes and keep members connected. Here’s why a change of scenery can be a critical part of care.
When an older member loses a partner, retires, or simply ages in place without support, their home can quickly become a source of isolation. The grief, disconnection, and physical challenges often go unnoticed—but they have real downstream consequences.
Health plans have a choice: let housing instability escalate, or intervene early with supportive relocation services that promote safety, stability, and engagement.
Moving to a new home—closer to family, community resources, or a more age-accessible environment—can help members re-engage socially, emotionally, and even physically. New relationships, lower stress, and a safer living environment all contribute to improved outcomes.
Upside helps members get there—with expert navigation, housing placement, and ongoing support.
When life shifts—children move away, a partner passes, or retirement kicks in—members may lose their sense of purpose. Housing transitions, when handled with care, offer a chance to rebuild that identity, regain control, and start a new chapter on their own terms.
This isn’t about just finding a new apartment. It’s about helping members feel empowered again.
Housing transitions are often overlooked in care plans—but they represent some of the most impactful, high-leverage moments in a member’s life. With the right partner, health plans can reduce churn, prevent emergency episodes, and improve satisfaction—while helping members find housing that supports who they are now, not just who they used to be.
Upside delivers the infrastructure, expertise, and support your plan needs to make housing transitions work—for your members, and your bottom line.
