Froedtert Holy Family Home Health Care will be integrating with another At Home Care service in the future.
Froedtert and ThedaCare At Home will join forces on January 1st to enhance access to care and provide additional services like hospice and palliative care for more people and patients in surrounding areas like Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Kewaunee counties.
Froedtert Holdy Family Memorial Hospital VP Brian Graf explains that the demand for home care services is rapidly growing due to an increase in the aging population, changes in patients’ preferences, and technological advancements.
The healthcare groups explain that by 2030, it’s expected that one in five Americans will be 65 or older.
That number could be at 95 million by 2060.
Home health care can be an alternative to an extended hospital or nursing home stay and can include care for most ages.
Current patients will be notified and get appropriate details about the transition in the future.
