A CARE PROVIDER SHORTAGE Consider these facts • The nation’s strained healthcare system is trying to keep sick seniors out of hospitals, assisted-living facilities and nursing homes and instead have them cared for in their homes. • A startling 75 percent of Americans over 65 live with multiple chronic health conditions, ranging from diabetes to dementia. • The U. S. spent an estimated $103 billion on home health care last year, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. • Overall employment of in-home aides is projected to grow 41 percent from 2016 to 2026 — translating to 7. 8 million job openings.
