Home Health Care News August 15, 2024
Home care turnover is the highest it has been in five years, indicating an industry-wide employee retention crisis.
This was one of the critical insights from Activated Insights’ – formerly Home Care Pulse – 2024 Benchmarking Report.
The report found that the home-based care turnover rate has increased by more than 14% over the last two years to 79.2%. Inefficiencies in the recruitment process also contributed to this, with only 16.4% of home health care and hospice nurses and 12.8% of home care applicants hired.
Due to this lack of hiring, 63.3% of providers turned down cases in 2023.
This rejection of cases places home care providers in an unfortunate position, as client turnover in this sector is at 26.8%.
