Real outcomes from CLS, Respite, and Smart Home supports, safer routines, stronger skills, lower caregiver stress, summarized with clear data and family stories.
As an organization, we measure our impact by listening first, then building supports that fit real life at home. By gathering input from the people we serve, family caregivers, and case managers across Metro Detroit, Carevio continually improves how we deliver Community Living Supports (CLS) and Respite. We use what we learn to refine person-centered plans, simplify scheduling, introduce smart-home tools only where they help, and share outcomes in plain language.
We collect feedback through short surveys, care-team check-ins, and post-visit notes reviewed by our clinical leadership. Our internal Improve Through Action reviews turn this input into small, frequent changes, like adjusting visit timing around challenging transitions, swapping a device that creates friction, or adding a new skill target that emerged at school or work. The goal is simple: make each week calmer, safer, and more independent than the last.
Carevio's sustains a lightweight program evaluation model that we update every quarter. Using a clear logic model (inputs → activities → outputs → outcomes), we track indicators that matter to families and funders alike: consistency of staffing, progress on daily-living skills, participation in community activities, medication adherence, night-time safety, and caregiver stress. Data is paired with stories from the home so improvements are felt, not just counted.
Early results from our Smart Home Program show why pairing care with simple technology works. Families report smoother mornings with voice prompts and visual timers, fewer missed doses when using medication reminders, and safer nights thanks to motion lighting and door/bed sensors—without sacrificing privacy. In many homes, caregivers describe a noticeable drop in stress during high-need hours and more confidence to try community outings again.
We also look beyond devices. CLS visits continue to anchor skill building, meal prep, hygiene routines, room organization, money handling, and communication practice. Respite remains a vital relief valve, planned or last-minute, so caregivers can rest, attend appointments, or focus on other family needs while routines at home stay familiar and predictable
Partnership drives much of this progress. We collaborate with case managers, therapists, schools, and community programs to align goals and documentation. When a new support is added like a routine checklist or a bedtime scene button we train everyone involved so the change is simple to use and easy to maintain. Privacy is non-negotiable throughout: devices are opt-in, data is minimal, and families control who can see alerts.
Going forward, we’re expanding the pilot to more homes, publishing an Annual Impact Brief, and inviting families to co-design new features that reflect their lived experience. Our commitment is to keep care person centered, evidence informed, and dignity first, so opportunity isn’t abstract. It’s daily, visible, and happening at home.
