In 2022, of the more than 2.9 million home care workers in the United States, a third was white. Meanwhile, Black or African American accounted for another 27 percent, and Hispanics made up another 26 percent. Home care workers had a disproportionately high share of racial minorities.

These data are related to DCYF’s Office of Innovation, Alignment, and Accountability (OIAA) prevention dashboards, published to support the agency’s efforts to prevent child maltreatment. Those dashboards can be found here: https://www.dcyf.wa.gov/practice/oiaa/reports/prevention-dashboard

Much of the data requested by the Strengthen Families Locally communities to inform their planning, and thus contained in these initial dashboards and datasets, are what we know about children entering out-of-home care (OOH care) – age distribution, counts, rates, trends over time, and race/ethnicity. In 2022, about 3,370 children entered out of home care statewide, a record low for Washington State.

The prevention dashboards and datasets also include descriptive data on children in Child Protection Services (CPS) intakes – rates of intakes “screened-in” for a CPS response, as well as the types of referents referring to CPS. In 2022, DCYF received CPS intakes involving over 89,000 children statewide, and 46,000 total children in intakes screened in for a CPS response.

Some of the data focus on children aged 0 to 1 (or birth to just under 2 years old). This group of children enter out-of-home care at a high rate, and the Strengthen Families Locally communities have identified that early intervention with this group of children and their families can be especially impactful.

OIAA expects to update these dashboards and datasets annually. In addition, we will be working to develop additional dashboards to support other related DCYF prevention efforts.

In 2022, approximately 31 percent of all home care workers were high school graduates, while 18 percent had less education and did not complete high school.

Of the 284 billion U.S. dollars that the home and community based services (HCBS) spending reported in 2022, roughly 70 percent came from Medicaid payments. Meanwhile, Medicare does not generally cover long-term care services.

In the United States, Amedisys Inc., based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was the largest home health agency based on the number of patients served as of 2023. This was followed by two companies, Enhabit Home Health & Hospice based in Dallas, Texas, and Bayada Home Health Care in New Jersey. Amedisys Inc is set to be acquired by UnitedHealth Group's Optum. The 3.3 billion U.S. dollar merger should have been completed by the end of 2024, but has been pushed back amid federal challenge to the deal.

The National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study (NPALS) is a biennial study of major post-acute and long-term care providers and their services users. Seven provider settings are included. NPALS collects survey data on the residential care community and adult day services sectors, and uses administrative data (available from CMS) for home health, nursing home, hospice, inpatient rehabilitation, and long-term care hospital sectors. The goals of the study are to: estimate the supply of paid, regulated post-acute and long-term care services providers; estimate key policy-relevant characteristics and practices of these providers; estimate the number of post-acute and long-term care services users; estimate key policy-relevant characteristics of these users; produce national and state estimates where feasible; compare across provider sectors; and monitor trends over time.

In 2022, over a third of the home care workers workforce are over 55 years or older, which is the age group gearing for retirement. This forecasts a need of home care workers in the coming years.

The therapeutic services segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Home healthcare services encompass a range of unskilled and skilled services designed to cater to the medical needs of individuals in the comfort of their homes. These services include medical expenditure for therapeutic, diagnostic, and mobility assistance for those with neurological and mental disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and mobility disorders, as well as lifestyle diseases like obesity. Skilled nursing services are essential for critically ill patients or those at high risk of medical conditions, who may require home intensive care unit (ICU) services. Postoperative care, primary care, and geriatric population care are also integral parts of home healthcare services.

Furthermore, with healthcare reforms emphasizing value-based care services, patient monitoring devices have become increasingly important for remote patient monitoring and early intervention. Home healthcare services are a crucial component of the healthcare industry, providing essential care for individuals with diverse medical needs. Skilled healthcare professionals offer therapeutic services, including wound management and rehabilitation, to help patients recover from surgeries and medical conditions, ensuring optimal health outcomes.
