Facing Healthcare Challenges as Population Ages

This November, during Home Care and Hospice Recognition Month, Madison Family Companies will join others statewide to highlight how home care is pivotal in addressing our state's rapidly aging population and rising healthcare costs. With the number of Texans over 80 expected to triple by 2047, scalable and sustainable home care services have never been more crucial.

For decades, home care, including home health, private duty home care, palliative care, and hospice care, has delivered interdisciplinary and holistic care. These services allow individuals to recover or receive care in the place most preferred—their homes. As demographic shifts make increasing demands on our healthcare system, Madison Family Companies emphasize the necessity of preparing to offer person-centered, high-quality care at home.

Home Care and Hospice Month provides a platform to reinforce the essential role home care plays in supporting the health and dignity of millions of people, and it is about ensuring access to necessary care at home for all Texans.

This month also honors the invaluable contributions of unpaid caregivers, who provide day-to-day care at great personal sacrifice. Madison Family Companies support these caregivers through providing home care services to their loved ones alleviating some of the daily burdens.
