Efficiency Is the New Profitability in Home Care

Under Support at Home, the economics of care are changing. With management fees capped at 10%, efficiency has become the new driver of profitability. 
 
That means the providers who thrive won’t necessarily be the largest — they’ll be the most efficient, especially in how they manage clinical support and compliance. 
 
In traditional Home Care models, admin hours could be absorbed or passed on. Under the new system, every unnecessary process directly cuts into provider sustainability. 
 
This is particularly evident in nutrition — one of the biggest unaddressed risk factors in client health. Most providers agree it’s important, but the perception has always been: “If we open that can of worms, it’ll just create more work.” 
 
The reality? With the right digital framework, nutrition can be managed automatically — improving outcomes without increasing admin. 
 
At Eat Well Health, we built our system specifically for efficiency. Clients can complete a five-minute nutrition screening online (based on the MNA-SF clinical tool), triggering dietitian review and, where needed, product prescriptions. 
 
All approvals, invoices, and deliveries are handled electronically. Your coordinators stay informed without having to manage orders, appointments, or paperwork. 
 
The result: better client outcomes and measurable compliance — achieved within your fixed-fee model. 
 
Support at Home is raising the bar. Providers who adapt with efficient, data-driven systems will not only survive the transition — they’ll set the new benchmark for care. 
 
Because in the new world of Home Care, every minute saved is a dollar reinvested in client wellbeing.
