There are many factors contributing to an increased demand for
home health care providers with both medical and non-medical
expertise. Americans over the age of 65 will increase from
approximately 40,000,000 in 2010 to 55 million by the year 2020.
Senior citizens are not only living longer, but "baby boomers" are
now approaching their retirement years, ensuring that there will
always be a market for seniors seeking health care services. Since
the cost of recuperating in hospitals is prohibitive, patients are
being discharged early and require short-term assistance at home.
This is creating an opportunity for home
care franchises to provide these services.
Research and innovations in treatment technology, as well as medications, are making it more and more effective for people to be cared for at home rather than in a hospital setting. There are many benefits of a patient recovering at home instead of at a hospital or other health care institution. In-home care is more cost effective, with the average cost of a night in the hospital starting in the thousands of dollars. Because patients staying at home are in a familiar environment, and close to family and friends, their quality of life improves. The burden of care in these scenarios falls upon family and/or friends, which can lead to burnout for individuals who have not been trained to deal with these situations. To help those in need of home healthcare services, the development of Healthcare Teams and Healthcare Providers allows patients to be treated in their home environments.
There is a large market of seniors in need of home care services that provides an excellent business opportunity for those looking to become part of a home care franchise. Healthcare costs are rising at an accelerating rate, which will make home health care a more affordable option for patients. Those looking to take advantage of this opportunity should draft a viable business plan that specifies how their home care franchise will meet this increased demand for home services.
