AGING IN PLACE

Assessing Seniors' Understanding of Home Healthcare Options

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly altered and influenced today’s nurses, resulting in new mindsets regarding the profession and the healthcare industry overall. In the spring of 2021, Cross Country Healthcare, in partnership with Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, conducted a groundbreaking survey to examine a range of topics impacting the nursing profession today, including job satisfaction, levels of burnout, skills critical to the job and future career plans – and how they have changed post-pandemic.

For your benefit

Cross Country Workforce Solutions Group surveyed 500 people in the U.S. to gauge how those aged 50 years or more are preparing for the care they will need as they grow older.

34%

have not thought about their care needs.

4 out of 5

respondents have no awareness of existing in-home care options.

70%

of respondents prefer to continue to age in place at home with support.

Making future aged care plans is an issue that warrants heightened attention. Today, nearly 20 million adults in the U.S require assistance completing self-care and other daily tasks due to physical, cognitive, developmental, and/or behavioral conditions. 1 By 2030, 21% of the American population will be at retirement age when more and more people are moving away from institutionalized care. 2

Download the white paper and learn about:

The planning that people have or have not started for the support needed for their senior care.
The availability of in-home care services.
Individual personal references for in-home care services.
How decisions get made.
What budgets people are considering for their in-home care needs.

We invite you to download the white paper to learn what plans – or lack thereof – U.S. citizens have for their aged care and the levels of awareness they have of their future options.

"Despite the rapid acceleration of aging in the U.S., the study findings present a surprising lack of awareness of in-home care options for Americans aged 50 years or older. Fewer than one in 10 respondents are actively looking into care. More than one-third have not thought about their care needs as they get older. There are dramatically low levels of awareness for existing in-home care options like PACE, with four out of five respondents having no awareness of these services."

"We believe that when a choice is an option, in-home care is the best solution to help seniors age in place. Home healthcare provides an alternative that can offer more independence while optimizing individual care for many. It recenters their healthcare around their life, rather than their life around healthcare. That's the way it should be."
