This company helps clients and their families meet and schedule caregivers while handling compliance with state rules and regulations. This is often critical when a person’s health deteriorates quickly, leaving them and family members little time to research their options and find solutions. The company continues to provide care at very high retention rates and receives recurring revenue for as long as the client needs care.

In-home care is often provided to aging family members, but may also be provided to younger or homebound people with hardship from disabilities. The care provided is non-medical assistance with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) to include cleaning and bathing, assisting with mobility, memory care, dressing and undressing, hygiene, taking medications and companionship. Some caregivers may assist with transportation, errands, and light housekeeping.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

When someone needs more care than their family members are capable or qualified to handle, the options include those covered by insurance (hospice, palliative care, home health, skilled nursing, etc.) and those not covered by insurance (assisted living facility, board and care, home caregiver, etc).

Each has their pros and cons, different levels of care, and reputation, causing many who can afford it to choose options not covered by insurance. For options not covered by insurance, many clients or their families will choose in-home caregivers because they strongly prefer to be at home and are not comfortable moving to a facility or a different house. These are the clients that this company serves.


INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

California is poised for significant growth in the in-home caregiving industry through 2026 and beyond.

Aging Population: The increasing number of elderly individuals, particularly those over 65, is a primary factor driving demand for in-home caregiving services.

Chronic Health Conditions: A rise in chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and neurological disorders necessitates ongoing care, often best provided at home.

Preference for Home-Based Care: Patients and families are increasingly opting for home care due to its comfort, cost-effectiveness, and the desire to avoid institutional settings.

Technological Advancements: Innovations in telehealth, remote monitoring, and assistive devices are enhancing the feasibility and quality of in-home care.
