Market Drivers
Baby Boomers - An aging population
- It is projected that by 2030, the U.S. population will consist of more residents that are 65 and older than children, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. (AARP, 2018)
- More than one in three adults, age 65+, will fall each year and that risk rises with age. (NIH, 2017)
- 90% percent of people aged 65 and older would prefer to stay in their own homes as they age, rather than going to an assisted living facility or a nursing home. (AARP, 2017)
As more people decide to age in place, many senior care facilities are adapting by offering home health care services.
Many large insurance companies that work with Medicare, such as Aetna are increasingly focusing on home health care initiatives and aging in place. (Robert Holly-Home Health Care News)
Many states offer grants for home modifications. Start by checking with your state’s health & human services department or the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) in your state.
Landmark legislation, The Choose Home Care Act of 2021, was introduced in both the House and the Senate. This legislation is aimed at getting Medicare to pay for more home health benefits and supplies.
