Home health care is an industry destined for growth
Healthcare costs are unsustainably high, and with the aging population those costs are being pushed even higher,
excessively burdening taxpayers and private payers. Home healthcare is more affordable and of higher quality and patients are much
happier receiving care at home.
In light of these benefits, it should be an expectation for Medicare and other commercial payers – including Medicare Advantage plans – to promote home health care more aggressively. The industry will see growing demand in the number of patients wanting care at home by clinicians for decades to come. However, existing home health care agencies need help to meet this demand successfully.
