In this episode of Home Care 2.0, we’re taking a step back to ask: What if we redesigned healthcare to work for people, not just systems?

Joining us is Jennifer Taylor, a 20-year healthcare veteran who’s done everything from launching transplant programs to driving digital health adoption at major hospital systems and startups. Jennifer’s not here for the buzzwords; she’s all about building smarter, more preventive, and truly human-centered care models.

•

• 
  
• 
  
• Why prevention still takes a backseat (and how to flip that script)
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Where AI is helping vs. where it’s totally overhyped
• 
  
•

• Her dream blueprint for a better healthcare system
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• No-BS advice for founders trying to build in this space

In this episode, we sit down with Tamara Prosper, a passionate advocate for elder care and a seasoned nursing home administrator. Tamara shares her journey into healthcare, her deep love for working with the elderly, and the immense challenges that come with managing long-term care facilities.

From the struggles with funding and staffing to the complexities of patient rights and regulatory compliance, Tamara gives us an inside look at the realities of working in nursing homes. She also emphasizes the often-overlooked role of Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) and their impact on patient care, as well as the vital importance of documentation to prevent critical situations like "immediate jeopardy."

Tamara discusses her vision for an ideal care model, one that fosters a home-like environment for seniors, reduces staff turnover, and improves patient care. She also stresses the importance of treating healthcare staff with kindness to improve both their well-being and patient satisfaction.
