Episode 36 – Mobile Primary Care: The Only Home Health in Southern Oregon Offering This Service

In this episode of the Team Senior Podcast, Jamie Callahan sits down with Shermane Cura, Director of Provider Services at Riverside Home Health, to discuss a service that is transforming care for seniors in Southern Oregon: mobile primary care.

Riverside is currently the only home health organization in Southern Oregon offering primary care services that come directly to patients—whether they live in a private home, assisted living, memory care, or adult foster home. Shermane explains how this model eliminates the stress, confusion, and risks that often come with transporting seniors—especially those living with dementia—to traditional medical offices.

You’ll learn:

• What mobile primary care is and how it works
• How Riverside integrates home health, hospice, and provider services into one seamless continuum of care
• Why bedside primary care is especially beneficial for seniors with dementia or mobility challenges
• How these services help prevent unnecessary hospitalizations
• Why all services are covered by Medicare at no cost to the patient
• How clinicians can get involved in expanding this much-needed service

This episode is a must-listen for seniors, adult children, caregivers, and healthcare professionals looking for practical, compassionate solutions that improve quality of life and keep care where it belongs—at home.
