A new Medicare opportunity could help more older adults stay safe and independent at home—and Care Synergy and the CAPABLE National Center encourage healthcare organizations to apply.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has launched the LEAD Model (Long-Term Enhanced ACO Design). Embedded within this initiative is RISE (Resilience and Independence in a Safe Environment), a falls-prevention program modeled after the evidence-based CAPABLE approach.

RISE is designed to help older adults:
• Reduce falls
• Maintain independence at home
• Perform daily activities like bathing, cooking, and dressing more easily

Healthcare organizations forming or joining an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) are encouraged to apply. By participating, organizations can help bring proven falls-prevention strategies into mainstream Medicare and improve quality of life for older adults.

Application deadline: May 17, 2026
