The trend is clear, more and more people are caring for their frail and/or ill loved ones at home. This is a fundamental shift in the way health care has been provided in the United States for the past 100 years. There are many factors driving this change:
 | High Cost of hospital stays |
| Inadequate or no Medical Insurance |
| Shortage of Skilled Care Centers |
| New, less complicated Medical Technology |
| Positive psychological health benefits for the Patient to be home |
| Rising Confidence in Home Care |
There are major implications for all of us in this trend. As the WWII generations ages and the Boomer Generation approaches older age, the technologically savvy person will have better access to health care information, government agencies, health care providers and the latest medical products.
The challenge of caring for a loved one at home is considerable. The good news is, Compass Home Medical is here to help.
