Home Healthcare and its Growing Need for Healthcare Providers

By Poolak Forutanpour, Health and Wellness Correspondent

It is estimated that 79 million people will be enrolled in Medicare by 2030[1]. This advancement will stem an urgent need for more and more home healthcare providers to tend to this growing population. Among them, the need for registered nurses will be on the rise and most important followed by physical therapists for patients ages 65 plus[2]. With all these new scientific developments and advancements in healthcare, our lifespans are surpassing previous generations. Our children are fortunate to live in a time where they can enjoy the company of their vibrant and active grandparents, great grandparents and even great-great grandparents. 

In these fast-paced times, people are working longer hours and leading busier lives. In addition to work life, families are trying to balance relationships with each other, their children, their social lives and extended families. And in many cases, both heads of households are required to work more than one job to make ends meet. And it is a wide spread concern for many individuals who also have their own ageing parents to help care for. Since Medicare covers many home health services, families can seek out this new alternate avenue of support; therefore, decreasing the emotional and mental strain on the entire family.
