The Home Care Industry is Entering a Transformative Decade Ahead.
At least 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day until 2029, and the U.S. will need to hire 2.3 million new healthcare workers to care for this aging population by 2025.
This means the industry is ripe for innovation and growth. Healthcare across the world is turning to home- and community-based care.
Hospice is a Philosophy of Care That Offers Many Benefits to Patients and Families.
It can enrich the last stage of life. Hospice is designed to support the more personal aspects of this life stage: reflecting on one’s life and legacy, focusing on relationships in a deeper and more intentional way, achieving a sense of closure, and realizing any end-of-life goals.
According to Aging in Place:
Hospice Facts:1.43 million Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in hospice care for one day or more in 2016.48% of Medicare decedents were enrolled in hospice at the time of their deaths. The average length of service for Medicare beneficiaries was 71 days, with the median length being 24 days.98% of hospice care was provided at the Routine Home Care level. Compared to home health care, hospice had significant growth in 2017, with 1.3 million Medicare enrollees—a 6.5% jump from 2016. 47.5% of these enrollees were at least 85, while only 13% of admitted patients were under 70.The top five hospice terminal diagnoses in 2017 were Alzheimer’s, COPD, heart failure, lung cancer, and senile degeneration of the brain.
Most People are Referred Too Late and Unable to Benefit From the Specialized Services Hospice Can Provide.
As more people transition to hospice care, the need for specialized programs to support multiple diagnoses and chronic conditions will also increase. The focus needs to be on earlier intervention, patient education and developing more disease specific programs and strategies. Home Care for the 21st Century’s Franchise Model not only provides hospice it allows the opportunity to provide pre-hospice service with the additional models to create a continuum, so that we can care for people for a longer period of time with a really organized system of care that improves the quality of their lives.
Our Unique Multi-Model Opportunity
Our multi-model approach allows you to care for someone from birth to death and creates an opportunity to receive multiple revenue streams for one patient.
