Home Care and hospice Challenges

Texas home care and hospice agencies and their dedicated frontline health care workers provide medically necessary services to our state's most vulnerable individuals, those living with disabilities and significant life-limiting illnesses. Today, these agencies face extraordinary challenges that threaten their ability to deliver quality, affordable in-home care. 

​

Our industry is on the verge of a crisis:

• Current caregiver vacancy rates or turnover percentages 

• Funding shortfalls or reimbursement rate gaps 

• Number of patients on waitlists or unable to receive care 

• Comparison of Texas rates vs. other states or cost of care 

Without immediate action from the Texas Legislature the home care and hospice industry, and the half million Texas families we serve, will be left without the care they depend on.

The result will be increased costs and vulnerable patients put at risk:

• Current caregiver vacancy rates or turnover percentages 

• Funding shortfalls or reimbursement rate gaps 

• Number of patients on waitlists or unable to receive care 

• Comparison of Texas rates vs. other states or cost of care 

Proposed Legislation: 

• Bill numbers and titles you're supporting or opposing 

• Specific funding requests or rate increase proposals 

• Regulatory reforms being considered
