CLINICAL EXCELLENCE
The UCLA Eugene and Maxine Rosenfeld Medical Home Visit Program continues to grow with exciting developments in our mission to serve homebound older adults. Our program has joined the National Home-Based Primary Care Learning Network, a prestigious initiative funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and led by the American Academy of Home Care Medicine. Through monthly workshops and collaboration with practices nationwide, we gain access to quality improvement tools and evidence- based best practices that directly enhance the care we provide to our patients.
In 2026 we are launching Home Refresh, an innovative program providing vouchers to homebound patients for professional cleaning services to create safer living environments. This initiative addresses a critical need: hoarding disorder prevalence exceeds 6% among adults over 55, and Los Angeles County identified hoarding among older adults as a priority concern. Cluttered homes increase fall risks, fire hazards, and medical complications, while preventing caregivers from providing adequate care. Home Refresh will reduce these health and safety risks while improving quality of life for our housebound patients. For more information about the Medical Home Visit Program, click HERE.
The UCLA Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care (ADC) program continues to advance its mission to maximize patient function and dignity while reducing caregiver strain, now having served more than 4,900 patients and caregivers as of December 2025. This year, the program expanded its reach with new clinic locations in Palos Verdes and Marina del Rey and strengthened its leadership team with the addition of Dr. David Lee, MD, PhD, MBA, as Research Medical Director.
