In-home care is designed for those suffering from chronic illness or who aren’t able to care for themselves. This is one of the fastest-growing needs of seniors in the United States. According to a 2020 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics PHI report, direct care workers, home care aides and personal care employment will grow by more than 40% over the next six years.
At the same time, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is projecting that home healthcare expenditures will grow from $108.9 billion in 2020 to $210 billion by 2028, while Medicare expenditures for home health were expected to grow from $43.1B to $89.9B by 2028.
