Over the years, Alliance Homecare has made a name for itself by serving the New York market with a unique set of care offerings. Now with a new CEO at helm, the company is ready to forge ahead to its next phase.
Four months ago, Alliance announced that Nancy Gillette had been promoted to CEO and chief caregiver. Gregory Solometo, founder and former CEO, will now serve as chairman of the board.
Before stepping into the role of CEO, Gillette served as president and COO of Alliance. Her promotion was part of the company’s succession plan strategy.
“I was hired in January of 2022 to come in as president and chief operating officer,” Gillette told Home Health Care News. “I bring over 17 years of experience in the home health and home care space. Greg was amazing during the transition and the plan is for us to expand Alliance.”
Founded in 2006, New York-based Alliance is headquartered in Manhattan. The agency operates throughout New York and its surrounding suburbs.
Indeed, Alliance is planning to expand its offerings. In the past, the company has made wellness services, meal delivery, talk therapy and access to elder care law attorneys available to its clients.
In addition to these concierge services, Alliance offers short-term personal care and care management services in support of hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF) discharges.
The next frontier for Alliance will be the rollout of its new private nursing brand Allia.
“After we chose the name, we realized that Allia in Hebrew means to rise above,” Gillette said. “We’re really excited about this private nursing brand and creating a scalable model that really doesn’t exist today.”
Allia is nursing only, which distinguishes it from Alliance’s caregiver and case management model.
“Our model offers more than just taking care of a wound or addressing a specific nursing need,” Gillette said. “We are holistically bringing in massage, concierge physicians, wellness and activity, remote patient monitoring, urgent care at home and care management to ensure that all a client’s needs can be addressed at home with ease and clinical oversight from an Allia nurse.”
Alliance’s Allia arm will allow the company to manage more medically fragile patients in the home.
“Our nurses understand the holistic needs of our clients both physically and emotionally,” Gillette said. “We are caring for the ‘whole person’ and the needs of their family caregivers. The brand distinction is really about blending the Alliance concierge experience with medically complex nursing needs in home.”
The company’s goal is to expand Allia across key demographic markets in the U.S. Currently, Alliance is exploring both de novo and acquisition targets and are hoping to have two of each completed in 2023.
For now, Alliance is taking a number of key steps to get closer to the roll out of Allia.
“We are building policies and procedures around all medically complex diseases and building in structure with remote patient monitoring to have an effective care plan,” Gillette said. “We are working on high-level training for nurses related to customer service because the new private duty clientele have a higher level of expectation. We want to make sure that we can deliver that expectation on an ongoing basis.”
