About ILS
Independent Living Systems (ILS) is a health services company that provides managed long-term support services aimed at improving the aging experience for millions of America’s elderly, special needs and dual-eligible individuals, while rebalancing costs for healthcare plans and providers. The company’s integrated offering provides assistance beyond the clinical realm for individuals at every stage of care, from acute hospitalization, through experiences with chronic illness, to personalized care management for the long term.
Independent Living Systems is committed to enhancing quality of life through innovative health and support solutions that help improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and foster independence.
Redefining Healthcare Values
Through its holistic approach to long-term care, ILS helps individuals balance social and medical services, with an emphasis on delivering compassionate, supportive care to individuals as they age. Too often, the notion of “healthcare” is reduced to clinical services, medical procedures and solutions aimed at a discrete condition. At ILS, industry-leading programs are uniquely designed to address the full spectrum of a person’s needs, including critical basic requirements of food, shelter and companionship, which lay the foundation for more effective clinical care and a happier, healthier individual.
Controlling Costs with Community Care
As the U.S. population rapidly ages, the key to controlling costs lies in transitioning long-term care from institutions back to the community. ILS is uniquely positioned to facilitate that transition. The ILS team draws on deep experience in managed care, especially for Medicare & Medicaid populations, and couples this with a commitment to restructuring healthcare delivery in a way that enables efficient, cost-effective and personalized care.
ILS features four synergistic programs that help manage aging individuals through critical stages of care. ILS programs are designed to easily integrate into existing health plan models and together provide comprehensive, cost-effective long-term care. The company was founded in 2001, and today provides services to over 2.5 million covered lives on behalf of its health plan clients through operations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
