5 Things We Should Know About Home Health Care And Hospices

1. Unpaid Hospice Workers

   Over 15 million Americans become unpaid caregivers for the elderly or disabled.

2. Growing Demand

   By 2025, there will be 1 billion seniors in the world - many of whom will require hospice or home care. While the senior population will quadruple by then, the population of caregivers is only set to double.

3. Below Minimum Wage

   As of 2016, the whole of the caregiver workforce earns a median hourly wage of just $9.25 - agencies keep 60-70% of the patient’s payments as agency fees.

4. Agencies Abound

   Approximately 12,000 home care and hospice agencies exist in the United States, up from 6,800 in 2001.

5. Technology is Revolutionizing Home Care

   Technology is increasingly used by home care workers to track things like medication and vital signs, as well as offer telemedicine and up-to-date care plans.

National Home Care and Hospice Month in November is when we honor all professionals who work in the broad field of home care and hospice work – this includes physicians, nurses, aides, social workers, physical therapists, and so much more. There are four types of hospice care: routine home care, continuous home care, general inpatient care, and respite care. Each requires a different skillset and comes with its own emotional and physical demands. The professionals who perform these services often receive very little pay, yet are committed to helping patients live and pass away with dignity. This month is for them.
