    Families treat home care as the permanent plan, A Place for Mom survey finds

    Read together — a referral platform's proprietary survey, Commonwealth Fund policy briefs, and one operator's forecast — the sources describe three separate strains on home-based care rather than one shared trend: A Place for Mom's survey finds family caregivers treating nonmedical home care as a long-term commitment, even as they keep logging significant coordination hours and citing cost as the top reason others discontinue it; Commonwealth Fund's briefs document declining use of the distinct Medicare home health benefit, tied to payment incentives, Medicare Advantage practices, and workforce shortages; and Flournoy Health Systems' CEO forecasts that dementia's unpaid-care burden could pull workers out of the paid home health workforce altogether. Each source carries a limit: the survey serves a referral business, and the workforce warning is a forecast, not an observed exit count.
