OPPORTUNITIES FOR IN-HOME SERVICES

Aging in place and home care are the future of care for older adults across the world.

The senior living industry is a vital component of the long-term care delivery system. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), there are approximately 28,900 assisted living communities offering almost 1 million licensed beds in America today which offer multiple levels of care, such as independent living, residential care, and skilled nursing care.

The traditional assisted living provider model includes defining characteristics including:

so that all residents may be co-located

to create and maintain such facilities

to facility property in order to receive services

from seniors required often prior to the start of services

While the traditional model of assisted living has been successful in the past, it is not the optimal solution for today’s seniors. Older adults now demand to age in place and enhance their living with technology to support independence at home. Here are key societal and market changes increasing the demand for home care services:

In 2019, for the first time in human history, there are more people over age 65 than under age 5. The number of people over age 65 will dramatically increase over the rest of the century, while the number of children under age 5 will remain constant. Till 2030, 10,000 older adults a day join Medicare.

Nine out of ten seniors want to remain in their existing homes for as long as possible but forty percent of those 65 and older need daily assistance. For many of these seniors, leaving their longstanding homestead represents not only a loss of independence but also a loss of identity and freedom.

Due to societal changes, most older adults live an average of 280 miles from their adult children and many adult children are employed making it challenging for them to provide the care that might be needed to help ensure aging in place. Additionally, informal caregivers, often spouses or adult children, need support with almost 20% being in fair to poor health themselves affecting their ability to care for their loved one and 70% report symptoms of depression.

According to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care (NIC), the occupancy rate for seniors housing slipped to 87.8%, the lowest rate since 2011, and inventory growth outpaced net demand. Some of the supply-demand imbalances in senior housing are the result of a potential overestimation of the need for new senior housing facilities over home care.

Home care can help maintain the health of an older adult and has been shown to reduce both hospitalizations and physician visits. Additionally, home care services reduce financial burden compared to institutionalized care. Home care also helps family members by reducing missed workdays and allowing them to focus on their work, not to mention the mental health burden removed from families through supportive home care.

Estimates suggest that about $1 billion will be invested this year in “aging-in-place” technologies, including artificial intelligence and home monitoring, that enable seniors to remain in their own home despite experiencing changes in daily living.

You can partner with the HomeCare Advocacy Network at the perfect time. The growing aging population offers many opportunities to serve and grow your business to support seniors as they age, in the most comfortable location: their home.

HOW TO START CCAH

Senior living providers have an unprecedented opportunity to establish a CCAH service and enter the home care market with the support and guidance of an experienced franchisor. The HomeCare Advocacy Network (HCAN), led by executives from both senior living and home care industries, was created to guide and support senior living providers as they enter the home care market to deliver CCAH. There is no other franchisor with such an offering tailored to senior living providers ready to take on the market changes currently at work.

The HCAN offers a white label franchise for senior living providers to introduce home care to their business, which permits senior living providers to dovetail all home care marketing with their existing senior living marketing efforts. Alternatively, the HCAN also permits senior living providers to be licensed to operate as an independently owned and operated franchise of X brand.

Ignoring the Aging in Place Opportunity Doesn’t Change Reality

A senior living organization’s biggest competition is the “home” and the relative freedoms and security the senior’s home offers to the senior and their loved ones. HCAN gives you every opportunity to capitalize on strong local market presence, the ability to recruit and retain caregivers, successfully provide creative on-site care while creating your own market share for aging in place services off campus and helps lead you to overall financial and operational success.
