Expanding access to home health care is key to better outcomes, greater patient independence, and lower healthcare costs.
Research shows that when patients can’t receive the home health services they need, the consequences are significant: hospital readmissions increase by 35%, mortality rates rise by 43%, emergency department visits climb by 16%, and total healthcare spending is 5.4% higher. It’s also clear that Americans value this care—70% of U.S. voters oppose cuts to Medicare home health benefits.
Today officially marks the start of National Care at Home Month! Each November we honor the valuable contributions of home care and hospice providers nationwide and inspire outreach to communities, media, and policymakers.
