Growth is primarily due to a rapidly aging U.S. population, greater cost efficiency, better outcomes, and the preference of healthcare consumers to be treated at home. There are currently 52 million Americans over the age of 65, a group expected to increase to 75 million over the next 30 years, according to census figures.
Many of these folks are opting to remain in their homes as they age. In addition, around 24 million Americans have severe disabilities. While about half of that population is over 75 years of age, only about 4.5% live in assisted living facilities— the rest live at home. Home health is made up of mostly small businesses. About 78% of home care providers employ fewer than 50 workers, according to a report from PHI, a workforce advocacy organization.
