The US non-medical home care market, which includes personal care and companionship services for older adults, is a significant and growing industry. The market size<\/a> for non-medical home care in the US was estimated to be $136.2 billion this year, including a growth of 4.8% in 2023 alone.<\/p>\n

California has more residents over 50 than there are people of any age in Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, and North and South Dakota combined. Of course, this is to be expected in the most populous state in the country. But with such an immense group of people who have ever-growing care requirements, California needs more compassionate and savvy entrepreneurs to step up and be part of the solution.<\/p>\n

Many older adults find the Golden State to be the perfect place to spend their golden years. But because the cost of living is quite high, so is the cost of assisted living. That makes home care a particularly attractive option for many California families.<\/p>\n
