Our host, Lance A. Slatton is sounding the alarm on the future of home care — and offering a roadmap for those ready to lead. 🚨🏠 In his latest column for McKnight's Home Care’s, he breaks down how three powerful forces are colliding: An exploding aging population that wants to age in place 👵👴 Rapidly evolving technology reshaping care delivery 💻📱 Unrelenting staffing shortages and burnout among caregivers 🧑⚕️🔥 Instead of treating these as separate problems, Lance challenges providers to see them as the catalyst for a new era of home care — one that is tech-enabled, caregiver-centered, and relentlessly client-focused. 🌍✨ He argues that the agencies that will win are those that: 💪 Invest in caregivers like strategic assets, not “replaceable labor.” 🤝 Leverage technology to extend human connection, not replace it. ⚙️ Build smarter operations that protect both quality of care and quality of work. Lance’s message is clear: the status quo is not an option. The organizations that adapt now will define what home care looks like for the next generation of older adults and their families. 💡 If you care about the future of home care — as a leader, clinician, caregiver, or family member — this is a must-read and a must-share. 🔁 👇 Check out Lance A.
