| | The need for home-based care is greater now than ever before and will continue to grow. There are two main reasons for the rise in home care. One reason is the expansion of healthcare programs into the home. Hospitals and surgical centers are safely sending patients home from surgical recovery units without overnight hospital stays.

In addition, public health programs are expanding maternal-infant, mental health, and wellness programs in the home to prevent illness and hospitalization. |
