Seniors Care Network led a comprehensive Return on Investment (ROI) evaluation to measure the clinical and financial impact of the Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network (GAIN), a regionally coordinated program that provides specialized, interprofessional care for older adults living with frailty and dementia.

Using a multi-pronged approach, the evaluation combined administrative data, chart reviews, ad hoc interventions data, and client, care partner, and provider surveys to assess outcomes across GAIN.

The analysis identified more than $23 million in annual system benefits, primarily through avoided long-term care placements, reduced falls/falls risk, ED avoidance/diversion, and safer medication use. This resulted in an overall ROI of ~150%, indicating that for every dollar invested, the program generated $1.50 in measurable system cost avoidance.

These findings demonstrate that GAIN provides both measurable economic return and improved quality of care for older adults and their caregivers.
