At VAHC, as a team who has served the industry for decades, we sometimes forget that families that are facing an aging family member, or a family member who needs special at home care, aren’t familiar with all the details.

Home care enables older adults or younger members who need care, to get care at home through personalized services:
personal care (bathing, transportation, companionship etc.) , medication management, physical therapy, and skilled nursing.

Not only do seniors prefer to receive care at home, there are benefits for the families as well. The services enable the care that is needed, while reducing the stress on family members of continuous care giving. The time you spend with your family member becomes quality time where both parties can relax and enjoy the company.

Agencies support families by assessing needs, coordinating care plans, and handling logistics. For help choosing care, try:

We encourage you to explore options and start conversations early.

New bills have been introduced in the 2026 legislative session (e.g., HB1) to try again to incrementally raise the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour by January 1, 2028.

These require passage through the legislative process. This will be a critical topic for debate.

We guide agencies to think beyond “the new hourly rate” and plan for total cost of labor: overtime, differentials, wage compression, and potential adjustments to shift structures.

We are very close to these wage and hour issues. Connect with our Executive Director.

Home health aide is now the largest occupation in U.S. health care, adding thousands of new jobs!

And attracting many first-time aides each month.

The profession is seeing benefits: national wages rose by 4.93% in 2025, and turnover decreased.

Training becomes ever more important. VAHC’s enhanced aide training not only raises care standards but can help reduce agency costs by improving retention and efficiency, while minimizing the burden on your current staff.

A growing number of home care agencies are launching complex care service lines—from advanced clinical services to specialized care for chronic conditions.

This can be a business and patient care game changer, but it presents new regulatory and operational hoops.

VAHC provides members with one-on-one guidance to help leaders assess risks, plan, and succeed as they launch new services.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Most families prefer in-home care over senior living, but many feel lost identifying the support they need and which services to choose.

Agencies can help by improving family education.

Make your intake process clear, offer step-by-step guides, connect families to case managers, and be proactive with FAQs and regular check-ins.

Guiding families through these shifts builds trust and sets your agency apart.

CMS Final Rule - Smaller Payment Cuts

While we appreciate that CMS listened to the concerns of the home health community and made substantive changes to its flawed payment policy in the final rule, we remain concerned.

Any cuts—even reduced ones—will harm the program and risk undermining access to care for the millions of beneficiaries who depend on it.

We encourage further action to enact lasting reform and ensure the sustainability of the Medicare home health benefit.

We continue to advocate. We know families will continue to be impacted.

Home care agency leaders:

The latest CMS home health rule introduces new conditions, including the “acceptance-to-service” policy and additional reporting standards.

For home care agency leaders, the challenge is clear: ensure robust referral processes, transparent service descriptions, and ongoing staff training.

VAHC can help agencies navigate these exact operational hurdles and training.

Lean on our team for:

· compliance resources

· peer learning

· advocacy updates

As these changes go into effect.

Home care agencies nationwide are succeeding with flexible, “short shift” models that let clients buy exactly the care they want, some times even in very small increments.

The unstated lesson: stacking short client visits and reviewing margins by shift or service, not just client, helps agencies keep workers happy and payroll stable even as demand fragments.

Smart financial tracking and daily rate models can keep revenue strong for the agency while meeting client needs with precision.

Rethink your scheduling and pricing strategies – lets discuss 1/1.

Virginia’s recent elections brought new faces to Congress, again.

Which means fresh opportunities and new risks for the home care sector.

VAHC’s existing relationships can fast track home care policy conversations, but ongoing advocacy is crucial: new legislators mean new alliances must be formed, and there’s no guarantee of immediate support.

Now is the time for every member to reach out, share stories, and help educate newly elected officials about the home care crisis. Our collective voice is more important than ever.

👉 Did you know more than 700 veterans in May 2025 were enrolled in the VA’s Medical Foster Home Program, with demand for home-based care expected to surge 51% by 2040?

Today VAHC honors our veterans. We would not have the country we do without them.

Home-based care isn’t just a benefit, it's an option we owe our veterans.

We also advocate for them EVERY DAY as they are a core constituent of home based care.

Home care enables veterans to age in place with dignity and independence.

Support and awareness remain critical as programs and needs expand.
