NSM inks first deal with home care provider

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – National Seating & Mobility has launched a strategic partnership with SYNERGY HomeCare as part of its “Solutions for Accessible & Functional Environments” (SAFE) program. 

The partnership, the first involving an in-home care provider, begins this month in 40 SYNERGY HomeCare locations across five states. 

The partnership allows SYNERGY HomeCare franchises to connect clients to mobility solutions that support safer aging at home and allows NSM to offer comprehensive in-home care resources when needed by their clients. 

“NSM is devoted to helping our clients achieve independence and maintain safety in and around their homes,” said Bill Mixon, NSM CEO. “By partnering with SYNERGY HomeCare, we can make an even larger impact as we work together to offer solutions that increase safety, create more accessible and functional home environments, and provide our clients with the level of care and respect they deserve.” 

The partnership will expand nationally by year end. 

Launched in September 2020, NSM’s SAFE program seeks to support organizations and health insurance payers in proactively preventing falls, now the leading cause of fatal injuries for adults over 65, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It includes an integrated clinical care team to provide turnkey solutions for clients from accessing risks in and around the home to installing needed equipment to create more accessible and functional environments. 

SYNERGY HomeCare provides a wide array of services, including personal care, companion care and specialized care for individuals who are aging in place, physically or developmentally disabled, living with chronic health conditions or recovering from illness or surgery.
