Most people mistake long-term care and long-term care insurance with nursing homes. In fact, it is just the opposite. In 2007 there were just over 1.5 million Americans receiving some form of home health care. By 2050 the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation Department for the U.S. government are expecting that number to rise to about 27 million people. Most travel nurses or travel therapists are assigned to a clinic or health facility of some kind and travel to certain patients’ homes. More and more nurses are being asked to serve as in-home health care professionals and hardly every practice in a clinical setting. From short term assignments such as training a family member how to perform home dialysis modality to keep them as normal as possible, to the average assignment of about 315 days the home health care industry is becoming a popular and convenient way to take care of loved ones.
